PODCASTONE has named two new members to its executive team.  CASEY JACOBS, a former Business Development Executive at WHALEROCK INDUSTRIES, TIME WARNER CABLE SPORTS, and CAA, has been tapped as VP of Sports and Development, overseeing the development of the PODCASTONE SPORTS NETWORK, while former ACAST, COMPASS MEDIA NETWORKS, MIDROLL MEDIA, and CBS CORPORATION sales executive ALLYSON MARINO is joining as Dir./Special Programs, with a focus on original scripted programming.

“I’m thrilled to join the PODCASTONE team as we build the premiere sports podcast network,” said JACOBS. “In fact, this will be the first all-podcast sports network.  Not only do we have top talent like SHAQ, STEVE AUSTIN and DAN PATRICK, but an incredible pipeline of new programs, including JIM HARBAUGH’s new show, the legendary DICK ENBERG, pro-football personality DAVE DAMESHEK, and more.”

MARINO said, “I am excited about my new role at PODCASTONE because they have made a strong commitment to enter the narrative and scripted content world. Our Founder and Chairman has forty years of success in personality-driven programming, and our CEO is an expert in development, as the studio head behind 'The Help,' 'Lincoln,' 'Contagion' and fifty other great films. We see narrative and scripted podcasts through a filmmaking lens, and know listeners, artists and brands all benefit from elegantly crafted brand messages that are additive to the podcast content. My role combines development and brand partnerships to execute this mission.”
