WME Signs ‘Good Noticings’ Podcast’s Claire Parker & Ashley Hamilton

EXCLUSIVE: WME today announced that it has signed comedians, writers, and podcasters Claire Parker and Ashley Hamilton, hosts and creators of the Good Noticings podcast, with an eye toward helping them expand across scripted and unscripted TV, while bolstering their touring, literary projects, and brand partnership opportunities.

This comes amid Parker and Hamilton’s move to renew their podcast distribution partnership with Vox Media.

“We’re so excited to be working with the team at WME,” the duo said. “They’ve been extremely supportive of both our podcast and our expansion into further creative pursuits. We’re also thrilled to continue our relationship with Vox Media, as they’ve been a fantastic partner in the continued growth of our podcast.”

Each week on Good Noticings, Parker and Hamilton go beyond the biggest headlines with analysis, weekly recommendations, and a steady flow of banter. Whether they’re discussing their favorite movies, plays, and books, or digging into the top celebrity headlines igniting the internet, they aim to make you smarter about pop culture.

The show marks an expansion of the brand cultivated by the duo with Celebrity Memoir Book Club, a comedy podcast where they offered deep dives into celebrity memoirs. That show, launched in 2020, attained a cult following — it was named Best Podcasts of the Year by outlets like Vogue, Esquire and Cosmopolitan. Its run saw it reach #7 on Apple Podcast’s U.S. Comedy charts, making the top 10 in over a dozen countries.

Parker and Hamilton command an engaged audience of Gen Z and millennial women, with over 11.2M all-time audio downloads and over 100M views across YouTube, TikTok and Instagram in the last year. With Good Noticings, they’ve built a cross-platform culture brand, expanding beyond the podcast to include live events, book clubs, social content, a newsletter, and more. In addition to monetizing through advertising and their Patreon community, they’ve worked with brands including Macy’s, Amazon, Expedia, Nissan, Cotton, Calvin Klein, Bacardi and Netflix.

WME Talent Agent Grayson Jernigan told us, “Claire and Ashley have built a real business around a loyal audience that shows up for them every week. Good Noticings is a great example of a creator-driven property that can grow well beyond the podcast, and we’re excited to put WME’s resources behind them as they expand into new formats and platforms. We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with Vox Media on the flagship show as the franchise moves into its next chapter.”

Upcoming, Parker and Hamilton will be taking Good Noticings on the road, playing The Randolph Theatre in Toronto on September 25 and Park West in Chicago on November 8.
