SiriusXM has announced a multi-year extension with one of its longest-running podcasts, ‘Comedy Bang! Bang!’ hosted by writer and comedian Scott Aukerman.
Under the newly signed two-year contract, “Comedy Bang! Bang!” will remain at Earwolf, SiriusXM’s comedy podcast studio, for ongoing production and distribution. In addition to the regular episodes, the show will also be releasing weekly Bonus Bang installments, featuring popular episodes of “Comedy Bang! Bang!” that were previously only available behind the CBB World paywall. Exclusive global advertising sales rights for the podcast will continue to be held by SiriusXM Media, the combined advertising sales group of Sirius XM Holdings Inc.
“I’ve been doing the show for fifteen years, and hope it becomes the longest-running podcast of all time,” said Scott Aukerman in a release. “I am calling upon my competitors who started before me and BEGGING them to stop doing theirs so I can achieve this goal. Radiolab, I’m looking at you. Hang it up!”
“For the past 15 years, ‘Comedy Bang! Bang!’ has been the gold standard for what a great comedy podcast should be,” said Sarah van Mosel, SVP of Podcast Strategy at SiriusXM in a release. “By giving incredible improvisors the space to do what they do best, the show helped launch not just a network, but an entire genre. We’re thrilled that Scott and team will continue to call SiriusXM home, and look forward to bringing listeners more from Intern Gino, the Batmin, Fred Guiness, Tony Sony, and more.”
New episodes of ‘Comedy Bang! Bang!’ are dropped each Monday on all major podcast platforms. Bonus episodes are released on Thursdays.
