Dear Media picks up Stassi Schroeder Clark's weekly lifestyle podcast in its new era

Announced today, Stassi Schroeder Clark’s chart-topping, nine-year, weekly lifestyle podcast, “Straight Up With Stassi,” will be joining Dear Media, the influential multi-platform media company and brand incubator, and its diverse roster of 80+ shows hosted by top-tier talent.

Beginning today, the successful, long-running podcast will be renamed “Stassi” and unveil a refreshed content format and all-new visual branding across all podcast distribution platforms. New episodes will continue to premiere on Wednesdays with a mix of Schroeder Clark’s token pop culture commentary and her honest and relatable conversations about real-life topics. The podcast will continue to give listeners an intimate glimpse into Schroeder Clark’s world as she navigates the highs and lows of life along with some of her closest friends.

“Stassi has built such a vibrant and engaged audience with her podcast, and we’re honored to help bring her funny, ever recognizable voice to even more listeners worldwide,” said Paige Port, President of Dear Media. “‘Stassi’ fits right in with Dear Media’s roster of pop-culture programming and highly engaged audiences. She is a delightful addition to the Dear Media family.”

Schroeder Clark aims to bring the podcast back to the roots of its early days, focusing on authenticity, candid, and quick-witted takes on her day-to-day life. “I’m peeling away the structure and letting the show be a little more chaotic…but life is chaotic, so there’s that,” said Schroeder Clark. “The podcasting space has grown and evolved so much, and it’s become more formal than when I first started in 2015. I want to bring back the informality and destructure it a bit. I want to get back to the stream of consciousness rants, further connect with my listeners, and have more fun with the hour each week we have together. Dear Media is like the girl’s girl of podcast networks and I love how supportive they’ve been of this vision.”

Schroeder Clark is a two-time New York Times bestselling author, media personality, and relatable mother of two with a combined audience of over four million loyal followers. A clear leader in the podcast space since launching her show in March 2015, Schroeder Clark trailblazed her way through the audio-only space by being one of the first to turn her podcast into a live show with three tours, selling out shows across the nation. Her most recent “Mommy Dearest” tour in 2023 sold out in 11 markets, which included Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Boston, and Philadelphia. Her latest book released in 2022, Off With My Head: The Definitive Basic B*tch Handbook to Survive Rock Bottom, became an instant New York Times Best Seller and was listed #1 on Amazon charts in multiple categories.

Dear Media is a platform for amplifying women’s voices with original, creative programming. Since launching in 2018, Dear Media has rapidly grown to encompass 80+ shows including “Pretty Basic” with Alisha Marie and Remi Cruz, “Not Skinny But Not Fat” with Amanda Hirsch and “The Toast” with Jackie & Claudia Oshry.
