Digital media company Buzzfeed, and independent podcast company Acast, are partnering to debut a new podcast series titled Am I Doing It Wrong?.
The weekly show, presented by HuffPost and hosted by HuffPost’s Raj Punjabi and Noah Michelson, explores the all-too-human anxieties we have about trying to get our lives right.
Every week on the podcast, hosts Raj Punjabi and Noah Michelson choose a different topic – from saying sorry to tipping to online dating – and enlist experts and guests with big opinions to debate and strategize the best ways to tackle everything that’s constantly thrown at us.
By the end of each episode, you’ll be wiser, less worried and more equipped to do every day a little better. Every episode will feature a guest — from HuffPost editors and reporters to psychologists to couples counsellors to comedians — who will help them break apart the struggle, analyse it, and provide their expertise and hot takes.
“Audiences flock to our content and original journalism for tips on navigating the world – from detailed financial tips, modern dating advice to navigating holiday dinners. We’re excited to bring our talented editors, writers, and special guests straight to our audience’s ears to answer their most pressing questions about modern life,” said Paul Ricci, head of unscripted for BuzzFeed Studios.
“We’re thrilled to launch Am I Doing It Wrong? in partnership with Acast, and we can’t wait for audiences to join the conversation.”
“A few months ago, Acast and BuzzFeed launched our first podcast together, Bite Club, which landed well with hungry audiences and advertisers, and now we’re excited to bring HuffPost’s Am I Doing It Wrong? to anxious listeners around the world,” said Veronika Taylor, SVP, Creator Network at Acast.
Between Acast’s platform agnostic global distribution and BuzzFeed’s unmatched vision for content creation, this partnership will continue delivering great podcasts to audiences and advertisers everywhere,”
Am I Doing It Wrong? is part of BuzzFeed Studios and Acast’s existing partnership, which was announced last year and includes a slate of six audio series for global listeners with diverse programming and talent from BuzzFeed, Inc.’s global brands and fan-favourite franchises.
Under the partnership, Acast will launch and distribute the podcasts, provide production services and creative direction, as well as manage monetisation of the slate through advanced advertising and sponsorship technology.
Acast will make Am I Doing It Wrong? widely accessible to listeners by distributing it across all podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Google Podcasts, and wherever else audiences get their podcasts.
