Morris

Former BARSTOOL SPORTS EVP PETER MORRIS has joined PODCASTONE as CEO.  The former FUNNY OR DIE Head of Business Affairs and Strategy/General Counsel and IMAX EVP of Entertainment fills the CEO post left vacant when JIM BERK exited the position at the podcast network and sales operation last APRIL.

“Personally, I’m a huge fan of podcasts and strong believer in the power of the fan communities this medium champions,” said MORRIS. “The opportunity to work with a legend like NORM PATTIZ at PODCASTONE, a market leader, is one I couldn’t pass up. I look forward to leading PODCASTONE’s evolution and next chapter of growth.”

Executive Chairman NORM PATTIZ said, “I was introduced to PETER a short time ago by a mutual friend when I was looking for a consultant to put some fresh eyes on our business. Over the last month, it became obvious that we were both interested in working together to build PODCASTONE. His background at BARSTOOL SPORTS, FUNNY OR DIE and IMAX are wonderfully compatible with our plans to take advantage of what’s going on in podcasting today. I couldn’t be more pleased.”
