Arizona Tribune - Podcast Powerhouse, Nick Viall, Inks Exclusive Landmark Deal with Libsyn

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESS Newswire / April 3, 2025 / Today, Liberated Syndication Inc. ("Libsyn"), the leading podcasting platform for creators and advertisers, announced an exclusive, multi-year advertising and hosting partnership renewal with multi-hyphenate Nick Viall; his widely-popular podcast, The Viall Files; and his leading audio-first lifestyle media company, Envy Media, which specializes in pop culture and relationship-themed shows. This renewal follows a fiercely competitive bidding season, underscoring Libsyn's commitment to fueling growth for top-tier creators and independent voices in podcasting.

This milestone marks a pivotal time for Nick and Libsyn, cementing Envy Media as the top pop culture podcast destination for listeners. As one of Libsyn's most significant deals yet, it extends the successful partnership with Nick and Envy Media over the next three years.

"Speaking on behalf of everyone at Libsyn, we are honored to continue our partnership with The Viall Files and Envy Media," says Libsyn Ads Chief Revenue Officer Rick Selah. "Nick Viall is the consummate professional in our business, and his group is simply incredible to work with, making it seamless for our sales team to drive successful brand campaigns within their content. We're ecstatic for the opportunity to continue bringing millions of dollars of revenue to The Viall Files for years to come."

Nick Viall is a TV personality, award-winning podcast host, and best-selling author. Since appearing on The Bachelorette, Bachelor In Paradise, and The Bachelor, and competing on Dancing With The Stars and Special Forces: World's Toughest Test, Nick has become one of the most well-known talking heads in the dating/relationship and reality TV space. His wildly successful weekly, multi-episode podcast, The Viall Files, explores relationship dynamics and reality TV through exclusive interviews with celebrities and reality TV recaps. Since its inception in 2019, the show has amassed over 250 million downloads, continuously charts at #1 in Society & Culture and #3 Globally on Apple Podcasts, and last year's Spotify Wrapped Report named the show in the Top 50 Podcasts in the U.S.. It has also been nominated for a People's Choice Award and was voted one of the Top 10 Podcasts by the Associated Press.

"Over the last six years, I've had the pleasure of having the best job in the world. My mission has been to create the ultimate destination for the things I love: pop culture, relationships, reality TV, and more. The team at Libsyn have been the best partners imaginable in helping me reach that goal," Nick Viall shares. "I'm beyond lucky to have my wife, Natalie, as my co-host, and I'm so excited about Envy's growing family of hosts, including Katie Maloney, Dayna Kathan, Crystal Minkoff, Cynthia Bailey, and more to be announced soon. Above all, I'm grateful for our household of listeners who make this show possible every day."

"It is so rare in the entertainment business to find a network that wants to get up every morning and be in the foxhole with you, and I feel so lucky to have found that in Libsyn," says Byron Ashley of Settebello Entertainment, Viall's manager and Executive Producer of The Viall Files. " The entire Libsyn team is insanely hard working, extraordinarily sophisticated, and above-all, fair and honest, and I could not be more excited to spend the coming years continuing to build with them all."

Nick is represented by Settebello Entertainment, United Talent Agency, TMP Artists, Goodman Genow Schenkman Smelkinson & Christopher, LLP, and align Public Relations.
