Acast, the creator-first podcast company, today announces that smash hit true-crime podcast They Walk Among Us will continue its long-standing relationship as part of the Acast Creator Network. Hosts Benjamin and Rosanna Fitto have also launched a brand new spin-off series, They Walk Among America, with Acast hosting, distributing and monetising this alongside the original podcast.
They Walk Among Us has been popularised for its deep dives into spine-curling true-crime stories based in the UK. Benjamin and Rosanna captivate their dedicated listeners as they use first-hand accounts, interviews and evidence to guide their audience through each case.
After more than 200 episodes and 50 million listens, the team is bringing its podcast stateside with the launch of They Walk Among America, delving into the most shocking and mysterious crime cases from across the US.
As part of the Acast Creator Network, They Walk Among Us and They Walk Among America has full access to Acast’s range of monetisation options — including premium ad products available exclusively via the Acast Marketplace, and fan-supported revenue streams such as Acast+ subscriptions.
They Walk Among Us hosts Benjamin and Rosanna Fitto said: “We’ve worked with Acast throughout our podcasting journey and it’s been an enjoyable, successful partnership. One of the things we value most is Acast’s commitment to open podcasting — and, with the launch of They Walk Among America, we hope this approach will help us reach a bigger audience across the globe.”
