Brittany Hockley and Laura Byrne

A new chapter for Life Uncut and LiSTNR

Press Release ·

One of Australia’s most popular podcasts is levelling up. Life Uncut, the wildly honest, deeply relatable podcast hosted by best friends Brittany Hockley and Laura Byrne, has officially joined LiSTNR, taking their iconic show to a whole new level, with a brand new season launching on January 28.

Talking about all things love, life, lust (and everything in between), Life Uncut has built a highly engaged community that feels less like an audience and more like a close friendship group where nothing is off-limits and everything gets thoughtfully unpacked. Now the unstoppable podcast enters its next era, backed by LiSTNR, the home to Australia’s biggest podcasts, performers, and industry leading Ad-Tech.

Listeners can expect the same honest and no-filter conversations that have earned Life Uncut a dedicated and engaged following - from advice on life’s biggest dilemmas and relatable stories from their adventures to unpacking pop culture trends and delivering iconic interviews. Life Uncut helps listeners navigate life and feel a little less alone in a big, crazy world, now amplified by the scale, reach and innovation of Australia’s leading audio platform.

Brittany Hockley said: “Joining the LiSTNR family marks an exciting new chapter for us. Aligning with a network that sees our vision and wants to support us to keep creating the content we love is so important, and LiSTNR has its finger on the pulse. Over the last 6.5 years and 1000 episodes, Life Uncut has amassed over 100 million downloads and built the most incredible community of Lifers, and we can wait to continue to grow our community.” 

Laura Byrne said: “We are so excited for this partnership with LiSTNR. Over the past six years, we’ve grown downloads and built trusted relationships with our brand partners who value our content and brand integration. With the support of a world class sales team, this move allows us to  continue to provide the best strategic brand partnerships.”

Sam Cavanagh, Head of Content LiSTNR Original Podcasts, said: “Life Uncut is one of the country’s original podcast success stories. Brittany and Laura have worked relentlessly to build one of Australia’s most loyal and engaged communities, and their growth is a testament to the authenticity and fun they bring to every episode.

“Their move to LiSTNR further solidifies our position as the market leader in podcasting, backed by the best producers, social teams and Ad-Tech products in the country. There is no better place to grow a podcast audience and revenue in Australia, and we’re proud to welcome Life Uncut to LiSTNR alongside some of the nation’s biggest podcasts, including Hamish & Andy and The Imperfects.”

Life Uncut has become one of the country’s most popular podcasts attracting over 400,000 listeners per month and surpassing 100 million downloads. A testament to its genuine relatable discussions, the podcast consistently appears in the top 10 of the Triton Australian Podcast Ranker, most recently ranking at Number 9*. Since launching in 2019, the podcast has evolved into a powerhouse brand extending its reach across digital, social, broadcast and publishing, with more than 170,000 Instagram followers and 2.1 million TikTok likes.

With a highly engaged listenership and a trusted connection between hosts and audience, Life Uncut offers a powerful platform for brands looking to reach a valuable and loyal demographic. The podcast’s authentic tone, consistently high download numbers, and multi-platform presence make it an attractive choice for advertisers seeking meaningful engagement and measurable impact. 

In partnership with SCA, Laura and Brittany will continue to deliver the same thoughtful, grounded,  and deeply considered podcast, now amplified by LiSTNR’s cutting-edge ad technology, including the world class AdTech Hub. This collaboration allows brands and advertisers access to compelling, audience first commercial opportunities, combining authentic storytelling with highly effective and measurable advertising opportunities.

Life Uncut returns with new episodes from Wednesday, January 28, with episodes dropping on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday on the free LiSTNR app or wherever you get your podcasts.
