ABOUT THE SHOWS
In April 2024, Centennial World released mini scroll, a short-form internet culture news podcast that runs Monday-Thursday, giving listeners a quick run-down on the biggest stories on the internet from that day.
Nested within the infinite scroll podcast RSS feed, ‘Let The Girls Game’ was a branded podcast series exploring the history, successes, and challenges of women and gender-diverse people in the gaming industry.
The ‘Let The Girls Game’ campaign reach 342,000 views across five episodes— a massive win for our sponsor, Let’s Sing.
Centennial World’s podcasts are independently produced. All research, scripting, editing, and presenting is done in-house.
“Easy listening with an in-depth examination of online content that’s making the rounds each week.”
“I always recommend this podcast to all of my friends and family who love to hear and talk about pop culture and social media in depth without the judgement.”
“I love how well researched each episode is, it feels geared towards an intelligent audience.”
“Totally filling the gap for critical thinking and cultural impact and Gen Z/social media/gossip.”
“I’m so offline but I love getting my bi-weekly catchup of the hot news items.”
