We’re highlighting six shows on Gumball from October 2022, including “Hawk vs. Wolf” and “K100 w/ Konnan and Disco.”

As winter approaches, podcast listeners are doing two things: cozying up inside or traveling for the holidays — all while listening to their favorite shows. Advertisers looking to plan for the rest of Q4 or plan ahead for 2023 campaigns can connect with these super listeners through a variety of shows available on Gumball.

From sports and entertainment to career development to self care and sex, no topic is off the table for our featured creators this month.

Here are six shows on Gumball that we recommend checking out for your next ad campaign. This is your October 2022 Monthly Drop:

1. Hawk vs. Wolf

Radio personality Jason Ellis and professional skateboarder Tony Hawk team up to bring podcasting to a new level.

5. Puck Soup

We’re Sean "Down Goes Brown" McIndoe of The Athletic and Ryan Lambert of Yahoo Sports and this is a hockey podcast, in the sense that we talk about hockey, both on the ice and about fan culture. That’s the “puck.” This is also a podcast about movies, TV, fast food, life lessons, and general idiocy. That’s the “soup.” Unless you ordered the minestrone.

6. Sex Stories

Welcome to a podcast where mostly anonymous guests share the details of their sexual desires, delights, disappointments, discoveries, and dreams. These hyper-personal interviews offer a hot mix of practical how-to, insight into other peoples’ feelings about sex (so dating apps start to make sense), and give listeners a chance to safely fantasize about what they might want but have never dared to ask for, and how it might feel.
