Acast To Debut Jessi Cruickshank's 'Phone A Friend' Podcast With Dan Levy As First Guest

February 9th Launch

Comedian JESSI CRUICKSHANK is jumping into podcasting with "PHONE A FRIEND," distributed and sold through ACAST CANADA. The show, on which CRUICKSHANK will delve into pop culture and will "phone a friend" to get more information, debuts FEBRUARY 9th with DAN LEVY ("SCHITT'S CREEK") as the first guest; CRUICKSHANK and LEVY co-hosted "THE HILLS: THE AFTERSHOW" on MTV and have not appeared together on the air in over a decade.

“I’ve always had a face for podcasting,” said CRUICKSHANK. “Now I’ll finally get to use it on a platform where I can say all the things I can’t say anywhere else. Because you can’t get in trouble from a podcast, can you? Wait… can you?”

“JESSI’s entrance to the world of podcasting brings a true luminary to the space and marks one of the most significant podcast launches by a Canadian entertainer to-date,” said ACAST Managing Dir./CANADA HEATHER GORDON. “It’s a point of pride for us that JESSI entrusted ACAST to launch PHONE A FRIEND, allowing us to provide fans with an intimate new channel where they can engage with her and giving brands unparalleled access to a media heavyweight.”
