Consequence Podcast Network

Podcasts are the future. That’s not hyperbole, and, no, that’s not entirely a fact either, but it’s a notion that’s generally agreed upon by the leading figures of New Media, industry analysts, and advertisers alike. As Wired recently reported, podcast listeners are “a holy grail of engagement,” making the medium not just a bubble, but a boom — “and that boom is only getting louder.”

In keeping with the times, Consequence of Sound formed the Consequence Podcast Network (CPN). Led by Director Cap Blackard, the network plans to shift the publication’s 10-year-old brand into the podcast arena with a series of exciting shows that reflect, evolve, and expand Consequence of Sound‘s original content in new and refreshing ways.

“At Consequence, we’ve always held true to being a down-to-earth, personal voice in the world of media journalism,” Blackard says. “There’s no modern platform more personal than podcasts, and I’m excited that our fans and media-lovers in general get to know us even more intimately than before. We’re gonna have a lot of fun.”

Currently, the network offers eight series with several more on the way:

The Losers’ Club: A Stephen King Podcast: Now in its second year, this weekly series offers an exhaustive, chronological deep-dive into the Master of Horror’s best-selling bibliography, starting from 1974’s Carrie and working all the way to his latest blockbuster. The hosts also keep tabs on all the trending news involving King and talk to the countless filmmakers, writers, and stars involved in the many adaptations of his stories.
