Podcast Festival -- On Air LA Annex -- Welcomes Jason DeRulo & Alexandra Shipp

 Since 2017, On Air Fest has increasingly become the most important, influential event for storytellers, listeners and the audio community at large, having premiered dozens of award-winning podcasts, produced hundreds of live sessions, and convened thousands of fans across both coasts.

On Air Fest has announced that Jason Derulo and Alexandra Shipp will be the Thursday night headliners at the upcoming On Air LA Annex, further expanding the event's vanguard of storytellers, audio creatives and inspired listeners who are shaping the culture of sound.

The two talents will join each other on-stage for the very first time following the premiere of
Underwater on October 31st, the new romantic thriller podcast from Warner Music Group's Interval Presents, which stars both the platinum-selling singer-songwriter alongside the breakout actress, singer and songwriter.

Together with Allan Coye (SVP of Digital Strategy & Business Development, WMG + General Manager, Interval Presents), Rich Statter (GM, Clamor) and Alex Addison (Head of Digital and Strategic Initiatives, Temple Hill Entertainment), Derulo and Shipp will bring attendees further into the deep, dark and deceptive world of
Underwater. An exclusive visual journey into the first episode will be augmented by a cast and creator talkback, and audience Q&A. 

ON Air LA Annex is taking place Wednesday, November 1st and Thursday, November 2nd at KCRW's Annenberg Performance Studio in Santa Monica, as well as Saturday, November 4th at dublab in University Park, the annual West Coast edition of New York City's influential On Air Fest.  

In addition to
Underwater, the first two nights of On Air LA Annex will feature a sneak preview of KCRW's highly-anticipated Lost Notes return, and an interactive rendition of CBC Podcasts' Let's Make a Horror on Nov 1st, then a live performance of Spooked from Snap Judgment, PRX and KQED, and a taping of Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso on Nov 2nd, hosted by actor Michael Greyeyes, with more to still be added.

Guests will move between different stations to interact with the first-ever collection of On Air Official Selects.


Launching as part of On Air LA Annex 2023, On Air Official Selects is an open, global call for short-form audio stories. Between now and October 4th, any creative can submit an original piece under 10 minutes in length, with an emphasis on experimentation and boundary-pushing approaches.
