Himalaya Media is launching a new podcast platform, audio content network, and original production studio. The company is also debuting a slate of original and partner-created content and what they are calling a “creator-focused monetization and marketing strategy.”
The San Francisco-based startup has raised $100M from General Atlantic, SIG, and Ximalaya FM.
The free Himalaya app is now available in the App Store or via Google Play.
The Himalaya Podcast Network will feature a mix of new original programming created through Himalaya’s internal development team and existing shows from other producers.
Shows in the network will often be available exclusively with 24-hour “Early Access” on the Himalaya app.
Existing shows joining the Himalaya Podcast Network are Dexter Guff is Smarter Than You, Done Disappeared, and The Box of Oddities. Himalaya original shows coming out in 2019 include Hugh Acheson Stirs the Pot, It’s Not About the Podcast with James Kennedy, New Rockstars, No Chill Podcast, and OZY Confidential.
