Betr has announced the addition of viral internet sensation and social media superstar Haliey Welch, known as the face of the "biggest meme" in the history of the internet, 'Hawk Tuah', to its expanding roster of top-tier content creators in the Betr Media family.
Welch will debut her new weekly podcast, "Talk Tuah," under the Betr Media banner, with the first episode to premiere on Tuesday, September 10 across social, digital, and audio platforms.
"Talk Tuah" marks the latest expansion of the company's roster of "premium" original digital IP, joining viral shows BS w/ Jake Paul, Twin Talk with Hanna and Haley Cavinder, Nickals and Dimes with Bo Nickal and Caps Off with Adam Tabatchnick and Jack Parodi.
"Talk Tuah" is poised to become a standout addition to Betr Media's long-form content lineup, with Welch to welcome a number of A-list guests, anchored by her "vibrant" female perspective, to the show this season.
The first episode will feature guest Whitney Cummings, followed by Josh Richards and Jake Paul. Each episode will blend interviews with comedic elements, creating a mix that aligns with Betr Media's "commitment to innovative" and engaging sports media.
Welch will bring her signature blend of Southern values and comedic flair to the show and will also continue to diversify her platform and voice as a regular contributor to the company's always-on, character-driven social content. Betr Media's deal with Welch comes on the heels of the company's latest strategic expansions to its monetized content portfolio, including the acquisition of the Caps Off and Hot Corner podcasts from The Game Day.
