A new audio production and podcast label, Listen Entertainment, has been launched to help TV content creators tune into the power of audio.
There is an increasing cross-pollination of podcasts and TV content, with audio series being developed for the small screen and spinoffs of television IP such as “The Chernobyl Podcast” getting traction.
Listen Ent. is born of the creative team at Wisebuddah, a London-based studio and audio production business. Adam Uytman, director of content at Wisebuddah, and Josh Adley, director of commercial relations, are leaving the company to set up the new firm, alongside executive director Tim Hammond.
The trio have bought the Wisebuddah production business, including its current roster of work. Its recent output includes “The Gemma Collins Podcast” for the BBC’s new audio app, BBC Sounds; the true-crime podcast “Beyond Reasonable Doubt”; and “The Greatest Dancer Podcast,” which accompanied the eponymous BBC One TV series from Syco and Fremantle.
