LiSTNR signs Big Small Talk podcast  

LiSTNR has signed Big Small Talk, the political and pop-culture podcast hosted by Hannah Ferguson and Sarah-Jane Adams.

Big Small Talk, along with its companion shows Small Talk and Big Talk, will debut on LiSTNR today (Tuesday, 9 December).

Since its first episode launched in August 2023, Big Small Talk has rapidly become a go-to source for news commentary for millennial and Gen Z women, attracting a monthly social reach of 700,000.

Big Small Talk goes deeper than the usual pop culture podcast, tackling serious political issues and cultural debates.

“We’re so excited to join the LiSTNR team,” Ferguson said. “The expertise we will be gaining at LiSTNR will take Big Small Talk to the next level, evolving the show we are both so passionate about delivering to our audience each week. We are in great company, and we hope to continue going from strength to strength building an incredible community of switched-on, fun and passionate women.”

Adams said “Partnering with LiSTNR means as an executive producer and host I get to work with some of the best teams in the business. We’re so proud of the audience we’ve built, and now we can reach even more listeners and amplify the conversations our community cares about. Under our creative direction, the show has evolved into a full media ecosystem, and we’re excited to continue developing it even further with LiSTNR, alongside flagship shows like Hamish & Andy, The Briefing, and It’s A Lot.”

LiSTNR’s Head of Factual Clair Weaver said “Hannah and Sarah are smart, engaged and inspiring – and we’re delighted to welcome them into LiSTNR. They’ve done a fantastic job building Big Small Talk into a really strong show with a loyal community and we look forward to working with them as they continue to grow their audience, influence and success.”

Big Small Talk releases weekly on Tuesdays at 5pm, with the first episode under LiSTNR being released on Tuesday 9 December. Listen for free on the LiSTNR app.
