LOS ANGELES, April 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PodcastOne (NASDAQ:PODC), a leading publisher and podcast sales network, announced today that the hit series LadyGang is expanding its beloved podcast franchise with BabyGang, a six-part special event series hosted by Becca Tobin. Offering an intimate and unfiltered look at fertility, parenting, and modern family-building, the series delivers deeply personal stories with the signature vulnerability, humor, and the heart fans of LadyGang have come to expect.
Kicking off the series is the premiere episode, "Our Surrogacy Story: The High-Stakes Babysitter & ‘The Dad'". Becca is sitting down with the woman literally carrying her baby… and yes, it's as emotional, complicated, and jaw-dropping as you think. Katie, Becca's surrogate, gets real about why she signed up for this, the judgment no one talks about, what it actually feels like to grow someone else's child (spoiler: it's not what you think), and all of the ups and downs of the journey (including the failed transfer and miscarriage). They talk about "high-stakes babysitting," delivery day, family, and "the Dad" of it all! BabyGang brings raw honesty and real-life storytelling to the forefront, creating a space for open conversations around topics often left unsaid.
"Over the past eight years navigating fertility challenges and motherhood, I've had the rare opportunity to learn from leading experts around the world and be part of conversations many never get access to. I wanted to create a space where those insights can be shared openly where we can talk about it all, and offer information, support, and connection for parents everywhere," said Tobin.
"PodcastOne recently celebrated our 10 year anniversary with Becca and LadyGang and to be able to work with them to bring to life BabyGang, taking us on Becca's parenthood journey, is an honor. Her dedication to being open and honest on LadyGang will inspire listeners as she brings those same qualities to BabyGang, and we look forward to sharing the show with audiences worldwide," said Kit Gray, President and Co-Founder of PodcastOne.
