NEW YORK, July 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Podcast industry leader Midroll Media has unveiled its late-summer lineup of new programming for comedy network Earwolf, including a first-of-its-kind improvised musical podcast, a dating tell-all and a radio favorite available for the first time to podcast listeners.
The expanded roster reflects Earwolf's commitment to building a network that's home to a diverse group of both established and up-and-coming comedic talent.
The announcement comes as Earwolf and host Scott Aukerman celebrate the 500th episode of "Comedy Bang! Bang!", the network's flagship podcast and one of the industry's longest-running and most popular comedy shows. The podcast has long served as an incubator for comedy talent, with regular guests including Lauren Lapkus, Paul Rust, Jessica St. Clair and Lennon Parham having boosted their early careers through appearances on the show.
The 500th episode of "Comedy Bang! Bang!" is available July 24 and features special guests Lapkus, Jon Gabrus, Nick Kroll, Jason Mantzoukas, Mary Holland and Paul F. Tompkins.
"We're excited to celebrate 'Comedy Bang! Bang!', the show that created the world of comedy podcasting and is still going strong at 500 episodes," said Chris Bannon, chief content officer for Midroll Media. "And I'm delighted that, after seven years, Earwolf is still working with the best performers in comedy to create brand new shows for all the listeners coming into podcasting today."
The Earwolf summer launches include:
Also new to the Earwolf network are two podcasts from leading digital-media humor brand Cracked: "Cracked Movie Club" (July 13) and "Cracked Gets Personal" (Aug. 16). "Throwing Shade" (July 6) and "James Bonding" (Aug. 1) have also joined the network.
