Kill Tony Launches on Supercast, Giving Fans Premium & Ad-Free Access to Comedy's Biggest Live Podcast Launch Marks the Next Step in Red Seat Ventures' Partnership with Kill Tony, as Top Creators Increasingly Diversify Monetization Beyond Advertising NEW YORK, NY - August 4, 2026 - Red Seat Ventures (RSV), a Fox Corporation (Nasdaq: FOXA, FOX) creator-led media company, today announced that Kill Tony , the new ad-free subscription feed for Kill Tony, the world's most popular live comedy podcast hosted by Tony Hinchcliffe and Brian Redban, launched on Supercast. The launch builds on RSV's exclusive multi-year partnership with Kill Tony, announced in April, under which RSV serves as the show's exclusive ad sales and distribution partner across FOX's streaming platforms, YouTube and other third-party services.

Kill Tony marks the first time the show has offered a premium subscription to fans. Subscribers receive an ad-free version of the podcast, plus a growing slate of bonus content built specifically for Kill Tony's super fans including a monthly Ask Me Anything (AMA) where Hinchcliffe answers subscriber questions and a unique camera angle from the live show released every Monday designed to make subscribers feel like they're in the room at The Comedy Mothership. Subscribers will also receive merchandise perks.

Supercast gives podcast creators a direct, owned relationship with their most engaged fans. The platform allows creators to offer ad-free versions of their shows, exclusive bonus audio and video and access to member-only communities, with fans able to get that content in the new Supercast mobile app or any podcast player.

Kill Tony has built one of the most passionate fan bases in comedy and giving them a direct way to support the show only strengthens that relationship, said Chris Balfe, CEO of Red Seat Ventures. This is exactly the kind of full-stack model we want for every creator we work with: advertising, distribution and now subscriptions, all working together so Tony and Brian can grow and own their business on their own terms.

Part talent show, part roast battle, Kill Tony blends stand-up, improv and comedy talent discovery in one of the most influential and longest-running live podcasts in any genre. The show has amassed nearly 3 million subscribers on YouTube and nearly 3 million downloads per episode across Spotify and Apple Podcasts, making it the #1 live podcast in the world. Hinchcliffe's flagship show, now permanently nestled at The Comedy Mothership in downtown Austin, consistently sells out in minutes and draws a throng of budding comedians eager for their moment in the spotlight.

Red Seat Ventures represents more than 40 premium creators spanning true crime, comedy, news, sports and entertainment, reaching a combined audience of tens of millions of monthly consumers across audio and video. Kill Tony gives that audience a new way to directly support the shows they already listen to and watch, part of a broader shift among top creators to diversify monetization by pairing subscriptions with advertising and sponsorships rather than relying on a single revenue stream. The news reflects RSV's model of pairing creators with best-in-class distribution, monetization and technology to build lasting franchises at scale - an evolution from podcast network to full-scale media company, most recently marked by the launch of the Speakeasy hosting and monetization platform and the acquisition of Supercast.

Kill Tony is available now at https://killtony.supercast.com/.

Kill Tony is represented by UTA and Brillstein Entertainment Partners.
