The ALIVE Podcast Network, a Black woman-owned media powerhouse, has announced an exciting lineup of podcasts and collaborations aimed at celebrating and amplifying Black voices. The new slate of content, spearheaded by founder and CEO Angel Livas, seeks to redefine the network’s core mission: to Amplify, Be Black, and Create Content (ABC’s) that resonates with its diverse audience.

Livas emphasizes the network’s return to the fundamentals of engaging storytelling and addressing topics that matter to their listeners. “We’re creating content that listeners have said they’re ready to indulge in,” says Livas. This commitment to meeting audience desires is reflected in their “back-to-school” themed roster, which includes a mix of scripted storytelling, sports, and insightful discussions.
