Cadence13—initially known as DGital Media Inc.—was a media enterprise headquartered in New York City that specialized in podcast creation, distribution, and monetization. Established in 2015, it functioned as a subsidiary of Audacy, Inc.. The company's executive leadership included CEO Spencer Brown, Chief Content Officer Chris Corcoran, and President John Murphy. As a prominent podcast network, Cadence13 developed programming for distinguished personalities such as actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt, reality television star Lauren Conrad, journalist Neil Strauss, and author Rachel Hollis. Additionally, it cultivated strategic alliances with organizations like Goop, Crooked Media, and Tenderfoot TV.
Background and history
Cadence13 was founded in 2015 under the name DGital Media by David Landau and Spencer Brown, who had previously served as co-CEOs at Westwood One, alongside venture capitalist Michael Rolnick. In 2017, Entercom purchased a 45% interest in DGital Media for $9.7 million.
The year 2018 marked Cadence13’s collaboration with the United Talent Agency to introduce Ramble, a pioneering podcast network dedicated entirely to digital content creators.
In April 2019, Cadence13 unveiled C13Originals, its division focused on unscripted audio narratives, launching with the series Gangster Capitalism. By July 2019, Cadence13 became a founding client of the Nielsen Podcast Listener Buying Power Service through a partnership with Nielsen Holdings. Subsequently, on August 7, 2019, Entercom agreed to acquire both Cadence13 and Pineapple Street Media.
The company earned recognition from Fast Company as one of the "World's Most Innovative Companies for 2019."
In March 2020, Cadence13 revealed plans for a podcast featuring former presidential contender Andrew Yang, titled Yang Speaks.
In January 2024, its parent firm Audacy filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, initiating a restructuring process to transfer ownership to creditors and reduce debt by $1.6 billion.
On March 21, 2024, Audacy declared it would merge its podcast divisions under the unified Audacy Podcasts brand, phasing out the Cadence13 name as part of its Chapter 11 reorganization strategy.
