SiriusXM Inks New Multi-Year Agreement with “Giggly Squad” Podcast and Hosts Hannah Berner and Paige DeSorbo
Agreement brings exclusive distribution, global ad sales across audio and video for the hit podcast, as well as new original programming to SiriusXM
NEW YORK – September 17, 2026 – SiriusXM today announced a new four-year deal with “Giggly Squad,” the top-rated podcast hosted by best friends and former “Summer House” stars Hannah Berner and Paige DeSorbo. Under the new agreement, which begins today, SiriusXM will exclusively distribute “Giggly Squad” through the SiriusXM Podcast Network and hold exclusive global ad sales rights across the podcast’s audio and video editions. The deal will also expand the “Giggly Squad” universe with a slate of new exclusive programming expected to roll out in 2027. Additional details will be announced at a later date.
The new partnership comes as “Giggly Squad” continues to reach new heights. What began on Instagram Live in 2020 has grown into a top 10 comedy podcast, sold-out live tours across 70 cities — including two shows at Radio City Music Hall — and a New York Times bestselling book, “How To Giggle.”
From dating and pop culture to fashion, friendship, and the everyday chaos of their lives, Berner and DeSorbo’s ability to find the humor in just about anything has made “Giggly Squad” a twice-weekly destination for millions of fans — the fiercely loyal community of “Gigglers” who obsess over the candid conversations, inside jokes, and undeniable friendship at the heart of the show. The success of “Giggly Squad” has helped Berner and DeSorbo build careers that extend well beyond the podcast, and the new agreement with SiriusXM will support the continued growth of the show and its audience across audio, video, and beyond.
In a joint statement, Berner and DeSorbo said: "We’re so excited for this next chapter with SiriusXM. ‘Giggly Squad’ has grown beyond anything we could have imagined and getting to experience that growth with the Gigglers has made it even more special. We can’t wait for what’s next and to keep giggling together.”
By joining the industry-leading SiriusXM Podcast Network, “Giggly Squad” will be in great company alongside some of the most popular and influential shows in podcasting, including “SmartLess,” “The Mel Robbins Podcast,” “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend,” and many more. SiriusXM represents more of the top 20 Edison podcasts than any other network, reaching 1 in 2 U.S. podcast listeners each month and providing creators with unparalleled opportunities to grow and monetize across platforms, including through its partnerships with YouTube and Tubi.
“‘Giggly Squad’ has already become a real force in podcasting, driven by Hannah and Paige’s undeniable chemistry, indelible humor, and the incredible community they’ve cultivated around the show,” said Scott Greenstein, President and Chief Content Officer at SiriusXM. “We’re excited to welcome them to SiriusXM and put our expertise behind what they’ve built to help them take it even further and give their fans more of what they love.”
New episodes of “Giggly Squad” continue to be widely available every Tuesday and Friday on the SiriusXM app, Youtube, and everywhere podcasts are available.
