Gimlet Media LLC is a digital media company and podcast network, focused on producing narrative podcasts and headquartered in Brooklyn, New York. The company was founded in 2014 by Alex Blumberg and Matthew Lieber, who served as the company's CEO and president respectively until Lieber stepped down in 2022. In February 2019, Spotify announced it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Gimlet for $230 million.[1][2] In 2023, Spotify announced that they were to merge Gimlet and Parcast into Spotify Studios.

History

Gimlet was founded in August 2014 with the launch of its flagship podcast StartUp hosted by Alex Blumberg. Originally billed as the American Podcasting Corporation (APC), Blumberg was eventually convinced to change the company's name. After working with Lexicon Branding, Blumberg and Lieber chose the name Gimlet Media.[3]

The company raised $1.5 million in seed funding at a $10 million valuation.[4] After raising most of its initial capital from investment firms Betaworks, Lowercase Capital, and Knight Enterprise Fund, Gimlet invited the listeners of its shows to help raise the last $200,000 through equity crowdfunding.[5] The company was estimated to bring in $2 million in advertising revenue in 2015.[6] In December 2015, Gimlet closed a Series A round of funding that raised $6 million at a $30 million valuation.[7]

In July 2015, Gimlet announced it would add the option to pay for membership, a decision motivated by a desire to diversify revenue streams to include more than advertising. Members were given early access to pilots for new Gimlet shows, a Gimlet T-shirt, and access to the company's Slack channel.[8] Gimlet then hired Blumberg's spouse and former Rachel Maddow Show producer Nazanin Rafsanjani to explore other ways to diversify the company's revenue.[5] Rafsanjani spearheads Gimlet Creative, a wing of the company that "creates highly produced narrative audio in partnership with brands."[9][10]

On August 2, 2017, Gimlet announced it closed a $15 million Series B investment round, led by Stripes Group.[11] Emerson Collective, Graham Holdings, Betaworks, and Cross Culture Investors also contributed to the round.[12] In September 2017, British advertising firm WPP announced it was investing $5 million in Gimlet for a minority stake in the company.[13][14]

On February 6, 2019, Spotify announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Gimlet for $230 million.[15][16] In the summer of 2022, Lieber left his role as president but remained an advisor to Spotify.[17] In November 2022, Alex Blumberg also departed Gimlet and Spotify.[18] On June 5, 2023, Spotify sent a memo to staff announcing that Gimlet will be merged with Parcast into a single Spotify Studios division, as part of a restructuring that also included the elimination of 200 jobs.[19]

*** Story Pirates was originally launched independently in October 2013, later joining Gimlet in 2017.[31]

Science Vs

In October 2015, it was announced that the podcast Science Vs, hosted by Australian science journalist Wendy Zukerman, would move to Gimlet Media[32][33] after previously being produced by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) as part of ABC Radio's First Run digital-first podcast program.[34][35]

The program dissects fads that are framed as scientific facts.

Heavyweight

In September 2016, Gimlet released the first episode of the podcast Heavyweight with Jonathan Goldstein. The company describes the format as stories "about journeying back to the moment when everything went wrong".[36]

Heavyweight was cancelled by Spotify in December 2023, although the show hopes to find another production partner.[37]

Crimetown

Crimetown, a documentary series "centered on organized crime" debuted in 2016. The first season focused on organized crime in Providence, Rhode Island.[21] The show is hosted by Marc Smerling and Zac Stuart-Pontier. The two previously worked together on the HBO documentary series The Jinx, and the documentary film Catfish.[38]

Season two of Crimetown, which focuses on police corruption and brutality in 1970s Detroit, Michigan, began on October 2, 2018.[39] Unlike season 1, it was released exclusively on Spotify.[40]

Every Little Thing

Every Little Thing premiered on April 17, 2017, as the successor to Surprisingly Awesome.[41] In finding a new host in former Science Friday producer Flora Lichtman, Gimlet decided that what they were creating was "a whole new thing" and decided to change the show's name to reflect that. Every Little Thing was cancelled and aired its final episode on October 11th, 2023.[42]

The Pitch

In June 2017, it was announced that the podcast The Pitch, hosted by Josh Muccio, would move to Gimlet Media[23] after previously being produced independently. The Pitch returned to independent production in July of 2022 following Muccio's buyback of the show from Spotify. [43]

The program features entrepreneurs in need of venture funding as they pitch to a live panel of angel investors, similar to ABC's hit TV series Shark Tank.[44]

Uncivil

Hosted by journalists Jack Hitt and Chenjerai Kumanyika, Uncivil confronts the official version of the Civil War with previously-untold stories about covert operations, corruption, resistance, mutiny, counterfeiting, and more, looking to trace their effect to the modern political climate.[49] The show debuted on October 4, 2017.

Uncivil's premiere episode "The Raid" won a 2017 Peabody Award for News, Radio, Podcast, and Public Service Programming. This is the first Peabody award for Gimlet Media.[50]

Chompers is the first Gimlet-produced podcast that is directly integrated into an Amazon Alexa Skill. The show debuted on March 1, 2018.[52]

Without Fail

Billed as Gimlet's first interview show, Without Fail features CEO Alex Blumberg interviewing new guests in each episode. Each episode includes a guest who has taken a big professional risk, with the interview discussing why and how that risk came to be.[53] The first season debuted on October 1, 2018. Guests on the show include Sophia Amoruso, Andre Iguodala, and Andrew Mason.[54][55]

On February 4, 2019, Gimlet released the first season of its investigative true crime series Conviction. All seven episodes of the season were released together.[56] Intended to focus on a new story each season,[57] the first release is hosted by Saki Knafo and covers reporting he did involving a series of NYPD officers and some of the people they arrested.[58][59] The first season was released in partnership with The New York Times Magazine and Type Investigations.[60]

Motherhood Sessions

In April 2019, Gimlet released Motherhood Sessions, a show about the challenges and new experiences for mothers. The show is hosted by Alexandra Sacks, a psychiatrist who specializes in reproduction and family life.

The Two Princes

Gimlet released The Two Princes, described as an "LGBTQ fantasy project",[63] on June 4, 2019.

The show released its highly anticipated season two in June 2021 but was not renewed for further seasons.[67]

The Scaredy Cats Horror Show

In May 2020, Reply All co-hosts launched a new podcast where an avowed horror film fan, Alex Goldman, screens a scary movie for his cohost PJ Vogt, a noted "scaredy cat", with the desire to learn if someone can learn to enjoy fear.[68]

Resistance

In October 2020, Gimlet released Resistance, with Saidu Tejan-Thomas Jr. as its host.[69] According to Gimlet, it is "a show about refusing to accept things as they are. Stories from the front lines of the movement for Black lives, told by the generation fighting for change."[70]

Reply All

On November 24, 2014, Gimlet's second show, Reply All, made its debut. Billed as "a show about the internet", Reply All is hosted by Alex Goldman and Emmanuel Dzotsi and formerly by PJ Vogt. Vogt and Goldman previously worked on WNYC's On The Media before creating and hosting the technology and culture podcast TLDR.[71]

In February 2017, Variety reported that Richard Linklater will direct a movie based on the Reply All episode "Man of the People".[72] The film, which as of August 2017, remains untitled, will star Robert Downey Jr. as John Brinkley, and will be produced by Annapurna Pictures and Team Downey.[73][74] In addition to Linklater and Downey, three members of the Reply All team are signed on as co-producers, including PJ Vogt, Tim Howard, and Chris Giliberti.[75]

In October 2020, Emmanuel Dzotsi joined as the third co-host.

In February 2021, former Gimlet producer Eric Eddings revealed in a Twitter thread that Vogt and Reply All producer Sruthi Pinnamaneni had opposed staff unionization efforts and contributed to a "toxic culture" at the show, particularly for staffers of color.[76] Vogt apologized and has permanently left the show.[77] Pinnamaneni has apologized[78] and is on hiatus with the show. Both Goldman and Dzotsi left the show in 2022, and a final regular episode was released on June 23.

Mystery Show

Mystery Show, Gimlet's third show, was launched on May 22, 2015.[79] The show featured host Starlee Kine solving mysteries that could not be solved by using the Internet, brought to her by listeners and friends.[80] The mysteries tended to deal with missing objects, people, or other day-to-day questions.[81][82][83][84]

The final episode of Mystery Show's first season was released in July 2015. On October 6, 2016, Alex Blumberg announced on an episode of StartUp that Mystery Show had been canceled.[85][86]

Sampler

In January 2016, Gimlet launched the podcast Sampler, hosted by Brittany Luse, which, according to the producers, was "devoted to bringing you the best moments from the world of podcasting" by presenting excerpts from other, non-Gimlet podcasts and interviewing their makers.[87] On October 17, 2016, Blumberg and Luse announced on the Sampler season finale that the podcast had been canceled.

Undone

In November 2016, Gimlet described their new documentary series Undone as a show about "the things that happened when you weren't looking."[21] It was hosted by Pat Walters, who'd previously been a producer for Radiolab. For the show's season finale, Walters announced that Undone would not be returning for another season.

Surprisingly Awesome

Gimlet launched Surprisingly Awesome, originally featuring Adam Davidson and Adam McKay, on November 3, 2015.[88] Producer Rachel Ward filled in for Davidson or McKay throughout season 1 when one or both were unavailable. On October 5, 2016, Ward announced at the beginning of season 1 episode 22 that Davidson and McKay had left the podcast. In episode 23 on January 19, 2017, Ward announced that she would be moving on to another Gimlet project and the show was then replaced by Flora Lichtman's Every Little Thing.

The premise of the show was to take seemingly uninteresting topics and, by exploring their stories, show that they are actually of interest.

Twice Removed

Twice Removed was Gimlet's first family history podcast, which aimed to prove "we're one big family." The show was announced on December 5, with the first season debuting on December 16, 2016.[29] Featured individuals included Abbi Jacobson of Broad City, Ted Allen of the Food Network and writer Dan Savage.[89] On June 16, 2017, Gimlet announced that no new episodes would be produced beyond a series finale released that same day.[90]

StartUp

StartUp's first episode aired on September 5, 2014, and was hosted by Alex Blumberg. Through documentary-style storytelling, the podcast shares Blumberg's experience building Gimlet Media from an idea through to a startup business. In episode 12 of season 1, Blumberg announced his new co-host, Lisa Chow. The podcast has won a Gracie Award as well as a Gerald Loeb Award for Distinguished Business and Financial Journalism.[91][92]

While the initial podcast subject of the development of Gimlet Media is routinely addressed, subsequent seasons have featured an array of different startups and business personalities, including American Apparel founder Dov Charney, venture capitalist Arlan Hamilton, a church plant applying business practices to the non profit sector, and the rise of Success Academy Charter Schools among others.[21]

The final season of Startup covered the process of Gimlet's acquisition by Spotify and the podcast formally concluded with its final regular episode on October 18, 2019.

Alex, Inc., a TV sitcom based on Blumberg, StartUp, and Gimlet Media, debuted on ABC on March 28, 2018.[93]

The Nod

The Nod was a culture podcast designed to "gleefully explore all the beautiful, complicated dimensions of Black life." Anchored by Mogul producer Eric Eddings and former Sampler host Brittany Luse, The Nod premiered in July 2017, supplanting their former self-produced For Colored Nerds podcast.[94] The Nod ended in early 2020 due to Eddings and Luse moving to a new daily short form show on Quibi also entitled "The Nod".[95]

The Cut on Tuesdays

A co-production with New York Magazine, The Cut on Tuesdays featured journalist Molly Fischer discussing current events including politics, fashion, and pop culture.[96] The show was intended to be "the premier destination for dynamic conversations about issues that matter to women".[53] The show debuted on October 16, 2018, and ended in December 2019.[97][98]

This team is headed by creative director Nazanin Rafsanjani. Branded podcasts from Gimlet Creative include:

In addition to individual shows, Gimlet Creative also produces the ads featured on other Gimlet podcasts.[132]

Gimlet Pictures

Gimlet Pictures was created in 2017 as a new business group of Gimlet Media, specifically focusing on adaptation of Gimlet's Podcast content into Television, Movies, and other visual platforms. The explosive growth of podcasts as a medium has created opportunities to adapt and license that content for other platforms.[133]

GimletFest

In 2018, Gimlet announced their creation of a festival, called GimletFest. The first annual GimletFest took place on June 16–17 in Brooklyn, New York,[134] and featured live podcast shows and panels with podcast hosts.[135]
