Realm has announced a multi-year partnership with Night Vale Presents, the independent podcast network behind many fiction shows.
As part of the agreement, Realm will now handle ad sales, distribution, and live events for Night Vale’s entire slate, including the cult hit Welcome to Night Vale.
First launched in 2012, Welcome to Night Vale set the standard for fiction podcasting with its surreal humour, supernatural storytelling and dedicated global fanbase. The show has topped podcast charts worldwide and sold out international live tours.
Alongside Night Vale, the deal also covers other acclaimed series from the label such as Within the Wires, Alice Isn’t Dead, Dreamboy, and Random Number Generator Horror Podcast No. 9.
Mary Assadullahi, VP at Realm, said: “We couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome Night Vale Presents. Welcome to Night Vale didn’t just shape fiction podcasting, it created a blueprint for lasting creative and commercial success. Joseph and Jeffrey have built something exceptional.”
Night Vale Presents was co-founded by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor, who will continue to lead creative production.
Joseph said: “We’ve stayed independent by only making what we love and working with people who understand our vision.
“With Realm, we’ve found people we trust on the business side, so we can focus on storytelling because everyone likes a weird little story in their ears sometimes.”
All shows from Night Vale Presents are now available across the Realm network and on all major podcast platforms.
