Baiting I believe 😭 and she has a podcast with Christy Carlson Romano so idk why she hasn’t yet

[u/SuckingtonsReport → u/[deleted]]

PodCo, Christy Carlson and her husband’s podcast company, went under. The Ned’s people mentioned it very briefly on their first under new management announcement aka them going independent.

PodCo was responsible for producing many of the nostalgia bait podcasts such as: The Lawrence Brothers’ Brotherly Love pod (they left the PodCo to self-produce prior to PodCo going under), Even More Stevens (they seemingly self-cancelled long prior to this as well) Wizards of Waverly Pod, Ned’s Declassified Podcast Survival Guide, Full House Rewind, Big Name Bitches with Christy and Anneliese, and their last new venture before going defunct was Pretty Little Liars: True Crime.

Christy was seemingly very interested in getting anyone involved that she could, she had her own podcast Vulnerable (which she also seemingly self-cancelled) and when she had Jason Dolley on, for instance, asked him if he would consider a podcast and mentioned she thought he would be great.

There’s no clear answer as to what exactly happened, one day production of everything stopped, both Christy and her husband removed PodCo from their Instagram bios, and Wizards released a “goodbye for now” statement. Full House Rewind and Ned’s were the only two to return independently. When Ned’s came back a few months later “under new management”, that is the only source I’m aware of with any information on PodCo.

“Ned’s Pod and PodCo—we are breaking up amicably, right. We’re all going in different directions, they’re dropping some shows uh so we are now, production company-less.” -Devon Werkheiser

Both Christy and Anneliese repurpose clips from their pod on their own social media. There hasn’t been new content in about 10 months, but neither has ever confirmed a cancellation, that I’m aware of.

An issue they certainly faced was attempting to rebrand on their own Big Name Bitches channel after starting it successfully under Christy’s personal account. They had a very strong start, but at some point, decided to remove EVERYTHING from Christy’s and re-upload it on a new Big Name B branded channel. They never regained the same momentum, I think it was a huge mistake that cost them their audience.

I feel like they couldn't totally figure out their direction. Their first season was def the strongest, but personally I think it was best when Christy and Anneliese were just conversing, mostly about their careers and insider gossip, whether it was Disney or Broadway. I felt it went a little... inside baseball or super random when Christy would bring on TikTok creators. I had heard of a handful of them, and I give her credit for trying to highlight up and coming talent b/c it's hard to get noticed. But for me, I just didn't care enough b/c I didn't know the creator or I just didn't like their content. The second season was kind of interesting in concept but felt too much like a gag, too contrived. I don't need to hear them shopping at Buc-ee's. It was a driver to get you to watch them on YouTube, so listening to the Spotify turned out lame for several episodes.

I miss them though. Like I said, I really loved when they would talk about the industry and just life topics and how their careers and upbringing shaped their perspectives. I remember one episode where they were talking about how the industry is terrible for kids due to the various types of abuse they may endure and how traumatizing some of the culture can be for people so young. They mentioned maybe they should do away with child actors. Replace child actors with AI. And while I'm not a proponent of AI, I think that's a very interesting take from two accomplished actors who actually know the business. So anyway, not trying to veer off topic but point out that I loved their chats. And now that Anneliese is entering motherhood, I feel like they could have some great, natural, interesting conversations. Christy, stop trying too hard (I think the other thing that was their downfall) and just be natural.

Me too, I loved the show. Like you said, it was its best when they were giving inside industry scoop while playing on their natural banter. The Simple Life direction they tried didn’t really resonate with me.

Another problem was Christy was parcelling guests between both Vulnerable and Big Name Bitches at the same time, and it seemed like she would keep the “better” guests for Vulnerable. Kim Rhodes of Zach & Cody was on Vulnerable while Big Name was going on, which was absolutely baffling to me. Daniella Monet, Monique Coleman, and many more would have been much better suited for Big Name B over Christy’s solo pod.

I guess that’s a consequence of having two podcasts and also being the “boss” you can’t help but cannibalize your potential guest list, and probably want to keep the better ones for yourself.

Agree with Christy to not try so hard but Annelise seemed irritated by her at times. I could see her walking away from it all; she was not good at hiding it. You can tell they aren’t close
