Acast renews partnership with finance podcast network Equity Mates Media

Acast has signed a new multi-year agreement with finance podcast publishers Equity Mates Media.

Founded in 2017 by Bryce Leske and Alec Renehan, Equity Mates began as a podcast charting their own investing journey.

The brand has since grown into a full-scale media company, with six podcasts, a daily newsletter and a large community of listeners.

The Equity Mates portfolio includes:

• Equity Mates Investing
• Get Started Investing
• Headlines by Equity Mates
• Basis Points
• Crypto Curious
• Talk Money To Me.

Acast says across the network, Equity Mates reaches more than 300,000 monthly podcast listeners, 59,000 newsletter subscribers and a social following of 320,000.

Equity Mates first joined the Acast Creator Network in 2021 and has renewed its partnership following successful brand campaigns across sectors like travel, personal finance, insurance and tech.

Under the new agreement, Acast remains the exclusive global hosting, distributing and monetisation partner for all Equity Mates podcasts.

Guy Scott-Wilson, Content Director for Acast ANZ, said “We’ve loved working with Alec, Bryce and the Equity Mates team over the past four years, and it’s exciting to renew our partnership. Equity Mates is a true Australian podcasting success story, and their commitment to giving people the information and confidence they need to start investing has seen them build an incredible global community of young investors.”

Alec and Bryce, co-founders of Equity Mates Media, said “Renewing with Acast was an easy decision. From day one, they’ve backed us wholeheartedly, never asking us to compromise on our voice or vision. Acast has empowered us to grow entirely on our own terms. Their genuine support and specialist expertise make them the natural choice for any podcast looking for a true partner.”
