PodcastOne (Nasdaq: PODC), Kellyanne Conway and David Plouffe Align for The Campaign Managers Podcast
LOS ANGELES, CA - (NewMediaWire) - May 6, 2024 - PodcastOne (NASDAQ: PODC), a leading podcast platform and a subsidiary of LiveOne (NASDAQ: LVO), announced today that it has joined forces with history making campaign managers Kellyanne Conway and David Plouffe to launch the upcoming podcast The Campaign Managers with Kellyanne Conway and David Plouffe. The weekly podcast is set for a May 22, 2024 debut, and will go beyond the headlines and bylines driving the heated 2024 Presidential Race to offer expert opinions and perspectives in the most pivotal Presidential campaign in American democratic history.
Renowned strategists and successful Presidential campaign managers, Conway and Plouffe, are set to delve deep into the complexities of the 2024 election. These two seasoned insiders will dissect the latest campaign strategies, analyze the pressing issues shaping the political landscape, and share their first-hand experiences running the campaigns of history-making Presidential candidates Donald Trump and Barack Obama, offering an engaging and informative look into the high-stakes world of American politics. Each episode will feature fierce discussions between the two hosts and their guests that will engage rather than enrage.
“Kellyanne and David are icons in the political landscape. Their intelligent delivery of data and facts, their dynamic presentation of opinions and strategy and their wealth of knowledge on what it takes to become the next President of the United States is a privilege and a thrill to listen to, and we at PodcastOne are excited to be able to bring this podcast to the public,” said Kit Gray, President and Co-Founder of PodcastOne.
“All eyes are on the 2024 elections, with a Trump-Biden rematch, and party control of the House and Senate hinging on a few seats. David Plouffe and I have been in the room where it happens, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with unique, historic candidates who defied the critics, exceeded expectations, won the presidency, and governed. We wish to bring the audience inside to understand the tactics, strategy, individuals, issues, impressions and ideas that help tip the balance in a handful of states to decide the direction and fate of the country. Through our own voices - and the occasional special guest- we wish to be a resource to those who value substance over soundbites, upending conventional wisdom and unearthing insights about the changing electorate,” said Conway.
“Presidential elections have a huge impact on our world. The two of us have fierce disagreements on issues and who we want to win this race. But we agree on what it takes to get to 270 electoral votes. We think it’s important to have a place where audiences can get the full picture of where the race stands and how it could change and will assess those not wearing the blue and red shirts of our respective parties but as practitioners who have led successful campaigns for the White House,” said Plouffe.
