The Tamsen Show Secures Renewal as Audience Demand Drives Double Episodes
AdLarge and the fwd. network have announced the renewal of The Tamsen Show, the podcast hosted by Emmy Award-winning journalist, author, and women’s health advocate Tamsen Fadal. Following a breakout first year marked by significant audience growth, cultural impact, and a 2025 Signal Award, the show is expanding to two episodes per week in response to listener demand and advertiser interest.
Hosted on the fwd. network—a multi-channel creator platform dedicated to amplifying female voices, as shown in the network’s branding—The Tamsen Show has emerged as a leading voice across the Self-Improvement, Education, and Health & Fitness categories. The podcast has built a highly engaged audience of women ages 35–55, establishing itself as a trusted platform for candid conversations around life transitions, health, relationships, and reinvention.
Strong Audience Trust Translates to Premium Brand Partnerships
The show’s growth and deep audience connection have attracted sustained brand partnerships that reflect genuine advertiser confidence. Midi Health, a virtual care clinic focused on women in midlife, has committed to a second-year sponsorship. Additionally, Audible has launched a premium, integrated campaign spanning audio, video, and social platforms. Tamsen’s relationship with Audible extends beyond sponsorship—she has voiced her own bestselling book on the platform, creating a multifaceted brand alignment.
“The momentum behind The Tamsen Show is clear,” said Cathy Csukas, CEO of AdLarge and the fwd. network. “Tamsen has built a loyal audience that trusts her voice and returns consistently. That trust is driving real demand from brand partners. The continued partnership with Midi Health is a strong example of how brands are seeing real value in aligning with trusted voices like Tamsen.”
Expansion to Twice-Weekly Schedule Reflects Listener Engagement
In response to growing listener and brand partner demand, The Tamsen Show is now releasing episodes twice weekly on Mondays and Thursdays. Each episode features expert-led conversations exploring identity, ambition, desire, power, and truth. The show’s guest roster includes cultural figures and health experts such as Halle Berry, Emma Grede, Arthur Brooks, Jamie Lynn Sigler, Rita Wilson, Jennie Garth, and Kandi Burruss, alongside medical professionals and wellness specialists.
“I’m excited to continue The Tamsen Show with the fwd. network,” Fadal said. “There is a clear need for honest conversations around change, health, and what comes next. That connection is resonating with listeners and with brands looking to show up in an authentic way.”
A Broader Platform for Women’s Health Conversation
Fadal’s influence extends well beyond the podcast. She remains a leading voice in women’s health advocacy, having hosted the first ever World’s Hottest Menopause Party—an event that reached more than 62,000 women. She is also the producer and executive producer of The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause, which screened in more than 700 cities across 44 countries. Her New York Times bestselling book, How to Menopause, has been translated into multiple languages, and she recently launched her second award-winning documentary, The M Factor 2: Before the Pause—Perimenopause.
This multi-platform approach to content creation demonstrates the growing importance of creator ecosystems that extend beyond podcasting alone—a trend that resonates across the industry as publishers and advertisers seek authentic voices with demonstrated reach and engagement.
What This Means for the Podcast Industry
The renewal of The Tamsen Show reflects broader trends in podcast economics and audience behavior. Shows that build deep trust with their listeners—particularly in underserved niches like women’s health and midlife transitions—are increasingly attractive to premium advertisers willing to invest in integrated campaigns. The expansion to twice-weekly episodes signals confidence from both the network and brand partners that audience appetite for Fadal’s content remains strong.
For podcasters and production teams, the show’s success underscores the value of consistent, authentic storytelling paired with strategic brand partnerships that align with audience values. The renewal also demonstrates that women-focused podcast networks like the fwd. network continue to capture advertiser attention and listener loyalty in a crowded marketplace.
