In this article, we have a new politics podcast from a Brooklyn Dad. Then, a new true-crime podcast about a missing tech entrepreneur, and finally, the announcement of the hosts for the 2024 IAB Upfront in May where we'll hear about all the new podcasts coming our way.
If you're old like me, you can compare the "Upfront" to receiving the September new season issue of the TV Guide magazine and making sure you were the first in your family to read it.

Audio Up, a leading podcast production company, has just released a new series featuring a devout member of the Democratic Party who boasts 1.3 million X (Twitter) followers, Majid Padellan. He is apparently known as Brooklyn Dad Defiant. (Yo, you talkin' to me?) On this new show, Padellan will talk to the political types and try to make sense of anything Donald Trump says, while repudiating MAGA political propaganda.
The podcast's producers note: "It is the place to come for those not only seeking answers, but the roadmap, engaging and educating listeners along the way."
The show will air weekly and began April 15th with the first guest Frank Figliuzzi who is the former Deputy Assistant Director of Counterintelligence for the FBI.
The Defiant Podcast is out on all platforms now.

While the circumstances of his disappearance point to murder, a chilling message he left behind throws everything into question: “I should return mid-September or so. If I’m not back by then, don’t look for me.”
Four years later, host and true-crime newcomer Liam Luxon is introduced to Justin's story and embarks on an investigation into the mysterious case.
Status-Untraced is a 10-episode journey that explores the secrets the Valley holds, the stones left unturned, and what really happened to Justin Alexander.
The show premiered on April 17, 2024, with the first two episodes. The following eight episodes will roll out weekly.

The 2024 IAB Podcast Upfront is a must attend marketplace event that brings brands, agencies, and media buyers together with leading audio and podcast companies to explore podcasting’s ability to delight audiences and create superior marketing opportunities for advertisers.
Essentially, the Upfront is an event where podcast companies introduce new shows. In the broadcast TV world, it was when celebrities and execs announced their new fall schedule. Of course, no one cares now. But since podcasting is such a decentralized world with numerous podcast networks, finding new shows for eager listeners is like a needle in a haystack that's inside another haystack, that's...you get the idea.
The dual foundation of the event is a preview of new show content and a spotlight on the power of podcast hosts to command the attention of listeners and influence them in ways that enable meaningful and authentic alignment for brand partners.
The 2024 IAB Upfront will be hosted by YAP Media's Jenn Kutcher of The Gold Digger podcast and Rachel Rodgers of the Hello Seven podcast. Hala Taha, podcast host of the Young And Profiting podcast, is the Founder and CEO of YAP Media, an award-winning podcast production and social media agency for best-selling authors, top podcasters, influencers, and CEOs generating over $2M in revenue in its first year. YAP Media Podcast Network fuels the growth and monetization of network podcasts.
The 2024 IAB Upfront happens on May 9th in New York City.
