Revolt – the music-focused television network founded by Sean "Diddy" Combs and radio and record industry veteran Andy Schuon nearly a decade ago – launched the Revolt Podcast Network last summer. Based on its success to date, Revolt says they will expand their network targeting Black listeners with the release of eight new shows with a range of women-led podcasts that cover everything from sports, mental wellness, entrepreneurship, and music.
In an announcement about the new additions, Revolt says its 2023 podcast class aims to provide “unique perspectives and valuable insights for Revolt’s modern audience,” while representing the company's commitment to expand globally and throughout the entire Black diaspora, including new shows hosted by well-known creators in South Africa and The Caribbean. It says each of the new shows aims to empower viewers to succeed in all aspects of their lives.
"Revolt is committed to providing a platform for the most impactful voices in the world to have the important conversations that matter to our audience and these shows are a strong testament to that," CEO Detavio Samuels said in a statement. "We're introducing a slate of new podcasts anchored by dynamic and powerful Black women, including international shows that reflect our culture across the diaspora, so we're excited for listeners to tune in and be inspired."
The new shows include—
