Mother Daughter Television Duo Debuts Podcast April 26, 2023
Combined Social Following Tops 1.5 Million
LOS ANGELES, CA, April 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire – PodcastOne, a leading podcast platform and a subsidiary of LiveOne (NASDAQ: LVO), announced today the launch of a new podcast with reality television superstar, entrepreneur and Bravolebrity Ramona Singer and her daughter, Avery. Turtle Time with Ramona and Avery is set for an April 26, 2023 debut.
The mother daughter duo share a close bond that oftentimes features Avery highlighting the generation gap between the two to hilarious and viral results. On Turtle Time, they will bring the fun and the laughs while sharing personal stories and anecdotes from their lives now in the real world versus their lives that played on television for millions to see on the hit Bravo show, Real Housewives of New York (RHONY). The twosome explore dating and relationships, lifestyle and wellness, finance and business, navigating reality TV and so much more all while welcoming special guests along the way.
“We are thrilled to welcome Ramona and Avery to PodcastOne. Their mother daughter relationship is enviable, and audiences will be wowed by their podcast. Turtle Time is perfect for our platform, our audiences and our advertisers, all of whom have made it clear that this is the sort of content that they are looking for in podcasting,” said Kit Gray, President of PodcastOne.
Ramona starred on 13 seasons of RHONY becoming one of the most iconic personalities in the reality television landscape. Her experience as a business woman, fashion expert and entrepreneur led her to companies such as Macy’s, French Connection and Calvin Klein. At 30 years old, she created the company RMS Fashions, Inc., which bought items from wholesalers and sold them to discount retailers. More recently, she developed Tru Renewal skin care, True Faith Jewelry, Ramona Singer Collections on Amazon, Ramona Singer Jewelry for HSN, and her own wine label, Ramona Pinot Grigio. Ramona can often be found entertaining and hosting her closest friends at her home in Southampton. She also just received her NY Real Estate License.
Avery was born and raised in NYC and grew up on television for the world to see having made her RHONY debut at age 11 and was often dubbed the voice of reason and moral compass of the show - a narrative that still remains between Avery and her mom. She attended the University of Virginia where she studied Economics and Sociology. Having begun her career in finance, Avery now has started her own business BachBoss, a curator of bachelor and Bachlorette parties.
Turtle Time with Ramona and Avery joins a lineup of PodcastOne’s top charting programming hosted by Bravolebrities, including Melissa Gorga On Display, Namaste B$tches, Let’s Talk with Heather Dubrow, and When Reality Hits with Jax and Brittany. PodcastOne’s slate of programming can be heard on PodcastOne, Apple, Spotify, Amazon and wherever podcasts are heard.
