\n\tBob the Drag Queen<\/a> and Mon\u00e9t X Change have signed a multiyear partnership with Liberated Syndication Inc. (Libsyn) to host, distribute and monetize their hit comedy podcast, Sibling Rivalry, across both audio and video, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.<\/p>\n

\n\tLibsyn will exclusively host and monetize the weekly show hosted by the RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race alumnus, connecting premium advertisers with an audience of comedy fans, pop culture enthusiasts, LGBTQ consumers and trend-conscious viewers who tune into the beloved podcast week after week.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI am so excited to be joining the Libsyn network,\u201d Mon\u00e9t tells THR. \u201cBob and I are approaching almost a decade of the podcast. We\u2019re so grateful to the millions of you who\u2019ve tuned into the podcast to indulge in our ridiculosity, and we\u2019re so excited to make more memories at Libsyn.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBob added, \u201cWe are entering a new era for Sibling Rivalry. I\u2019m so excited for you all to see what me and my bestie have in store.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tLaunched in 2018, Sibling Rivalry has emerged as one of the most respected podcasts<\/a> in the RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race universe. Bob and Mon\u00e9t host various series on the pod, including \u201cSibling Watchery,\u201d where they review new episodes of Drag Race and the All Stars spinoff; \u201cAnything You Can Do,\u201d where Bob and Monet compete against one another and see who can do a task better; and \u201cSibling Advicery,\u201d where they offer advice to members of their Patreons.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe world\u2019s leading creators \u2014 including Bob the Drag Queen & Mon\u00e9t X Change, as well as Daniel Tosh, Dan Harris, Mehdi Hasan, Nick Viall and Crystal Minkoff & Cynthia Bailey \u2014 are choosing Libsyn because they want independence, audience ownership, and world-class monetization without sacrificing creative control,\u201d Stephen Perlstein, senior vp of business development at Libsyn, said in a statement shared with THR. \u201cWe believe creators deserve to control their content and own their audience. Our role is to provide the infrastructure, distribution, and monetization that help them grow on their terms. Whether creators are publishing audio, video, or both, Libsyn gives them one platform to distribute everywhere, monetize everywhere, and maintain direct relationships with their fans.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBob and Mon\u00e9t have both competed on RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race, cementing themselves as standouts from the franchise. Bob won RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race season eight<\/a>, and went on to lead HBO\u2019s We\u2019re Here for three seasons; tour around the globe with Madonna on her Celebration Tour; release the debut novel Harriet Tubman: Live in Concert; launch production company Purse First Studios; and star in Broadway\u2019s Moulin Rouge! The Musical.<\/p>\n

\n\tMon\u00e9t competed on season 10 of Drag Race, where she was named Miss Congeniality, going on to snatch the crown on season four of RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race All Stars. She placed second runner-up on the coveted all-winners season. Elsewhere, her one-woman comedy show, Life Be Lifin\u2019, was named a Playbill Pick at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival; she lent her talents as a classically trained opera singer to Opera Colorado, Minnesota Opera and Lincoln Center; and serves as a co-host of RE!CAP on E! Network.<\/p>\n

\n\tSeparately, Bob and Mon\u00e9t have both appeared on Peacock\u2019s Emmy-winning hit The Traitors.<\/p>\n

\n\tSibling Rivalry won a GLAAD Media Award for outstanding podcast in 2023 and the 2023 Webby People\u2019s Voice Award for podcasts (diversity, equity and inclusion).<\/p>\n

\n\tA logline for the pod reads, \u201cWhether discussing drag culture, celebrity feuds, internet obsessions, or deeply specific topics like bidets, robots, and hypothetical life dilemmas, Bob and Mon\u00e9t transform everyday conversations into laugh-out-loud entertainment. Sometimes the show is audio-only, sometimes it expands into special video episodes on YouTube \u2014 but one thing remains consistent: it\u2019s always funny. The result is a show that blends humor, authenticity, and cultural relevance in a way that keeps audiences coming back and actively engaging across platforms.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tSibling Rivalry was represented for the deal by UTA and the law offices of Brett Green.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe partnership leverages Libsyn Ads\u2019 solutions, including Host-Read (available for episodic and simulcast formats), programmatic Automatic Podcast Ads and Integrated Brand Opportunities that aim to resonate with Sibling Rivalry\u2018s comedy-loving and pop culture-obsessed audience.<\/p>\n
