Get to Know the New Zcast Network!
Powered by Acast and the Zibby Owens team comes a brand new podcast platform
The news is out!
Zibby Owens — author, publisher, and host of the award-winning podcast Moms Don’t Have Time to Read Books — has launched a new podcast production company and network.
Featuring original, intimate shows designed to enrich, inspire, and improve listeners’ lives — all smart and with a sense of humor — Zcast productions will entertain and educate, making them worth listeners’ limited time.
To kick things off, Zibby will be launching a reality show called “Who Wants to Be a Podcaster?” produced by Morning Moon, an independent production company helmed by her husband Kyle Owens, Ethan Lazar and Austen Rydell. Full details to follow.
Acast, the world’s leading independent podcast company, will distribute Zcast podcasts widely across the open podcast eco-system, allowing audiences to listen to the series on all platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Google Podcasts, and everywhere else podcasts can be found.
We’re excited to announce the first four shows featured on the network:
Moms Don’t Have Time to Read Books
