Warner Bros. Unscripted Television, in association with Telepictures, has teamed with one of the nation’s leading audio content creation and distribution companies in adapting a gossip and celebrity-focused newsmagazine seen in early fringe for 30 years into a weekly podcast.
Introducing Extra: The Podcast, a weekly offering from the TV show exclusively distributed in the U.S. on the Audacy platform.
Extra: The Podcast will cover the week’s major headlines as well as extended versions of “Extra’s” biggest interviews with no time limit, allowing listeners to hear the raw conversations that go even more in-depth and feature moments that didn’t make the show, the show’s Executive Producers — Jeremy Spiegel and Theresa Coffino — share.
“We could not be more thrilled to partner with Audacy for Extra: The Podcast as part of our milestone 30th season,” they said. “Our team of Hollywood insiders are making headlines daily and getting the biggest celebrities. The podcast will allow us to feature extended interviews not seen in the show and exclusive content not heard anywhere else.”
Hosted by “Extra” senior correspondent and weekend co-host Melvin Robert, Extra: The Podcast will launch Wednesday (9/13) on the Audacy app. New episodes will be released weekly on Wednesdays.
“We’re so excited to partner with Telepictures and ‘Extra,’ the leading name in celebrity and entertainment news, and to celebrate the launch of the show’s 30th season,” said Jenna Weiss-Berman, Audacy’s EVP of Podcasts. “‘The podcast companions of ‘Extra’ and ‘True Crime Daily will deliver informative, compelling content to listeners across the country.”
