Dear Media has just added the popular lifestyle podcast “Pretty Basic” to its lineup of shows. Hosted by Alisha Marie and Remi Cruz, the podcast was recently recognized with the 2021 Webby Award for Best Lifestyle Podcast.
Every week, “Pretty Basic” releases new episodes featuring one-on-one conversations between Marie and Cruz, as well as interviews with celebrity guests including Meghan Trainor, Dixie D’Amelio, Chris Olsen, Madison Beer, and Ashley Tisdale.
“As pioneers within the YouTube to podcasting pipeline, we’ve spent the last 5 years building ‘Pretty Basic’ into one of today’s top podcasts and are thrilled to be joining forces with Dear Media on this next chapter,” Marie and Cruz said. They emphasized the importance of being surrounded by like-minded individuals to help elevate and expand the podcast even further, and they are excited to partner with Dear Media and be part of their roster of talent.
Dear Media, a network known for amplifying women’s voices, launched in 2018 and currently hosts more than 80 podcasts, including Whitney Port’s “With Whit,” Claudia and Jackie Oshry’s “The Morning Toast,” and “The Skinny Confidential: Him & Her.” Paige Port, president of Dear Media, expressed her excitement in welcoming Remi, Alisha, and “Pretty Basic” into the Dear Media family. She praised Marie and Cruz for their authenticity and ability to connect with their audience on a personal level, qualities that align with Dear Media’s overall brand identity.
UTA represents Marie, Cruz, and “Pretty Basic” and brokered the deal with Dear Media. Lawyers Jon Pfeiffer and Jess Marlow also played a role in the arrangement.
With this exciting partnership, “Pretty Basic” is set to continue its success and entertain and inspire listeners with its engaging content. Fans can look forward to even more exciting episodes as the podcast joins the Dear Media network.
