Time flies when you're having fun and we can confidently say that Bill Simmons, founder of The Ringer and Spotify's Head of Talk Strategy, is having nothing but fun. Nearly a decade since its inception and five years into Spotify's acquisition, the Ringer-now a website, a podcast network, and a video production house-is renowned for its innovative and energetic blend of sports, pop culture, politics, and tech content.
I'm excited to be sticking around as we continue to make great podcasts and work with all the great people at Spotify, Bill said, following news that he'll continue on in his current role. I think we have some exciting things coming ahead!
Today, the Ringer Podcast Network boasts more than 50 popular pods, including chart-toppers like The Bill Simmons Podcast, The Rewatchables, and The Ryen Russillo Podcast. Ringer Films, which launched in 2018, produces long- and short-form non-scripted programming including Celtics City, Mr. McMahon, Andr the Giant, Showbiz Kids, and Music Box.
On Spotify, The Ringer continues to roll out video across its podcast portfolio, now with the majority of shows featuring video episodes. The Ringer produces more than 100 hours of content weekly and video is quickly becoming integral to the network.
Spotify is one of the best content companies in the world, explained Bill. I've been in enough work situations at this point that you just kinda know when you're in the right spot. I think all of us are motivated to do something pretty special in the talk and video space.
