About Lemonada Media
Founded in 2019 by Jessica Cordova Kramer and Stephanie Wittels Wachs, Lemonada Media is an award-winning podcast network known for its premium production quality, mission-driven storytelling, and white-glove services -- an approach that continues to attract A-list talent, leading advertisers, and top-tier production partners. Recognized as one of the top three independent podcast publishers in the U.S. according to Podtrac, Lemonada reaches millions of monthly listeners and viewers. The network has launched more than 80 chart-topping shows, including Wiser Than Me with Julia Louis-Dreyfus -- Apple’s 2023 Show of the Year, which spent 29 consecutive days at #1 overall -- as well as Fail Better with David Duchovny, Alive with Steve Burns, Blind Plea, Confessions of a Female Founder with Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and The Pink House with Sam Smith. The company is also home to Gracie Award-winning series like Last Day, Believe Her, and Choice Words with Samantha Bee, and Webby Award winners Add to Cart with Kulap Vilaysack & SuChin Pak and BEING Trans. In 2024, the company expanded into publishing with Lemonada Books, a co-development partnership with Gallery Books, a division of Simon & Schuster. In 2025, Lemonada was acquired by PodX Group, a leading international podcast company -- uniting two key innovators in the podcast industry.
