Wolf Entertainment and Headline Studio were natural partners because they share our vision for finding innovative new ways to tell stories and reach audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWatch the trailer for \u201cCrime in America\u201d:<\/p>\n<p>\n\tElliot Wolf, EVP of digital for Wolf Entertainment, said: \u201cLocal journalists have always been the first to break the country\u2019s most moving true crime stories, and we couldn\u2019t be more excited to partner with Joe and Headline to give them a national platform. With \u2018Crime in America,\u2019 we are creating a new approach to a weekly series that puts listeners on the front line of stories as they break.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tHeadline Studio president Richard Diamond added, \u201cWhat makes this partnership unique is the combination of national reach and local reporting. Through Advance Local\u2019s network of news organizations and journalists embedded in communities across the country, \u2018Crime in America\u2019 can bring audiences closer to stories as they unfold, grounded in original reporting, trusted sourcing, and deep local knowledge. It\u2019s an opportunity to showcase the critical role journalism plays in helping people understand the issues affecting their communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBudden is an Grammy-nominated artist, entrepreneur and podcaster. After first rising to prominence as a recording artist, Budden moved into the media realm, building \u201cThe Joe Budden Podcast\u201d into the flagship of the Joe Budden Network and attracting an engaged audience across audio, video and Patreon. Earlier this year, Patreon said some of the top podcasters on its platform, including Budden, earn as much as $1 million per month or more. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationobserver.com\/?p=5475\">\u2018Baywatch\u2019 Swims to Prime Video in Canada, Latin America, India and Europe<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joe Budden partnered with Wolf Entertainment and news publisher Advance Local&#8217;s Headline Studio for a new podcast, &#8220;Crime in America.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5480,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[4305,4306],"class_list":["post-5481","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-digital","tag-joe-budden","tag-wolf-entertainment"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
