Kast Media‘s shady dealings have earned it the ire of creators, and a lawsuit could soon follow. Investigative YouTuber Coffeezilla took a deep dive into Kast’s financials after comedian Theo Von claimed that the podcast network defrauded its partners out of $4 million.
The official website for Kast Media describes it as “one of the fastest growing and most exciting podcast networks and publishers in podcasting.” Kast built its library by making deals with comedians (including Von and Whitney Cummings), athletes (Brandon Schaub), and writers (Jim Cornette).
In July, word began to spread about Kast’s financial woes. Cornette revealed that the network owed him payments and was threatening to declare bankruptcy. Von threw fuel on the fire in September by raising his own nonpayment claims. He said that Kast owed its partners “up to $4 million” in total.
Just wanted to warn folks about @colinpthomson. This man defrauded our podcast and others.

You may have noticed a few disruptions in the podcast feed , the podcast schedule.
You may have noticed that the advertisers and the very, very popular conversations we have about them have been out of the show for the last little while.
There have been less commercials in the show the last little while.
And this is because of a situation that emerged between us, Arcadia and Vanguard at Jim Cornette, and a company that was handling our advertising called Kast Media.
And is that a good introduction?...
