Evergreen Podcasts Expands Portfolio with Acquisition of Converge Podcast Network

Evergreen Podcasts, a leading player in the global independent podcast network arena, announced its acquisition of Converge Podcast Network, known for its faith-based and family-friendly content. This acquisition represents Evergreen's largest since August 2023 and is a significant step in its mission to offer diverse and enriching audio content. Evergreen's monthly downloads have seen a remarkable 106% increase, showcasing the network's expansion and increasing listener base.

Michael DeAloia, CEO of Evergreen Podcasts, emphasized the synergy between Evergreen's goals and Converge's content, highlighting their commitment to inclusivity and the development of meaningful connections through podcasting. Converge Podcast Network hosts a variety of unique shows, including 'Theology in the Raw' and 'The Pour Over Podcast,' each catering to a specific niche within the faith-based community and collectively attracting over a million monthly downloads.

Casey Helmick of Content Capital, integral to the acquisition, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership with Evergreen. Helmick lauded the efforts to disrupt the faith-based content space and is optimistic about reaching more listeners under Evergreen's leadership. As part of the strategic expansion, shows from Evergreen, such as The Homemaker's Club podcast, will join the Converge network, with the goal of reaching similar scales of success.

Converge will maintain its brand identity while benefiting from Evergreen's extensive platform resources, including sales and marketing support, to enhance its digital presence and audience engagement. This collaboration aims to leverage both networks' strengths, providing listeners with high-quality, thought-provoking content across various platforms.
