"The show is a weekly celebration of the music and the culture that inspires, entertains, and unites all of us,” said Hagendorf. “It’s incredibly meaningful to offer such a unique platform for artists to share their stories and connect with fans on a deeper level.”
The Allison Hagendorf Show is a backstage pass for music lovers. As a music-industry veteran for over 20 years, Hagendorf’s mission has always been to be the bridge between artists and their fans. Her all-new podcast reveals the inspiring stories, the era-defining culture, and the visionary artistry behind the music that has seismically impacted the world. It also provides an opportunity for non-musician guests to share how music has influenced their lives, giving fans a new perspective and deeper insight into their favorite personalities. Each week, the tastemaking industry icon will feature a segment called "Sound Advice,” highlighting the new music listeners need to know, which can be found on The Allison Hagendorf Show Companion Playlist.
"We are thrilled to partner with Allison Hagendorf and bring her unique perspective and expertise on music to audiences everywhere through The Allison Hagendorf Show," said Stephen Perlstein, SVP of Podcasts at Studio71. "With our expertise in video podcast production and audience development, we are dedicated to connecting Allison with new audiences and creating revenue opportunities for her show."
The new show is the culmination of Hagendorf’s awe-inspiring journey in the music business. Over the past two decades, she has served as the Global Head of Rock at Spotify, an A&R executive for Columbia and Epic Records, a voiceover artist and live announcer, and a TV host and music journalist on MTV, the CW, CBS, ABC, ESPN, AXS, and the Fuse Television Network. Starting in 2012, Allison became the Official Host of Times Square New Year’s Eve for over 1 million revelers and over 1 billion global livestream viewers. The highly sought-after industry thought leader has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Variety, Billboard, Fast Company, People, and Rolling Stone.
