Gimlet Media

Gimlet was founded in August 2014 with the launch of its flagship podcast StartUp hosted by Alex Blumberg. Originally billed as the American Podcasting Corporation (APC), Blumberg was eventually convinced to change the company's name. After working with Lexicon Branding, Blumberg and Lieber chose the name Gimlet Media.[http://nyti.ms/1znyQF8 Documenting the Journey From Public Radio to Start-Up Owner] – Eilene Zimmerman, The New York Times, December 9, 2014

The company raised $1.5 million in seed funding at a $10 million valuation.{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/18/technology/personaltech/podcasting-blossoms-but-in-slow-motion.html|title=Podcasting Blossoms, but in Slow Motion|last=Manjoo|first=Farhad|date=June 17, 2015|work=The New York Times|access-date=July 25, 2015}} After raising most of its initial capital from investment firms Betaworks, Lowercase Capital, and Knight Enterprise Fund, Gimlet invited the listeners of its shows to help raise the last $200,000 through equity crowdfunding. The company was estimated to bring in $2 million in advertising revenue in 2015.{{cite web|url=http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/9e0e3d22-2ff6-11e5-8873-775ba7c2ea3d.html#axzz3grSk7jSq|title=Scripps deal tunes in to podcast growth|last=Bond|first=Shannon|date=July 22, 2015|publisher=The Financial Times|access-date=July 25, 2015}} In December 2015, Gimlet closed a Series A round of funding that raised $6 million at a $30 million valuation.{{cite web|url=http://www.niemanlab.org/2015/12/hot-pod-panoplys-parent-company-takes-a-stake-in-gimlet-media/|title=Hot Pod: Panoply's parent company takes a stake in Gimlet Media|last=Quah|first=Nicholas|date=December 8, 2015|publisher=Nieman Lab|access-date=December 8, 2015}}

In July 2015, Gimlet announced it would add the option to pay for membership, a decision motivated by a desire to diversify revenue streams to include more than advertising. Members were given early access to pilots for new Gimlet shows, a Gimlet T-shirt, and access to the company's Slack channel.{{Cite news|url=http://www.poynter.org/2016/gimlet-medias-latest-membership-perk-a-slack-channel-for-die-hards/427295/|title=Gimlet Media's latest membership perk?

Alex Blumberg, a radio journalist, producer for This American Life, and co-founder of Planet Money, came up with the idea of a for-profit podcast network after the success of a T-shirt fundraising campaign for Planet Money.

On November 24, 2014, Gimlet's second show, Reply All, made its debut. Billed as "a show about the internet", Reply All was hosted by Alex Goldman and Emmanuel Dzotsi and formerly by PJ Vogt. Vogt and Goldman previously worked on WNYC's On The Media before creating and hosting the technology and culture podcast TLDR.{{cite web |author=Farivar, Cyrus |date=January 10, 2015 |title=Why I love Reply All and you should too |url=https://arstechnica.com/business/2015/01/why-i-love-reply-all-and-you-should-too/ |publisher=Ars Technica}}

In October 2020, Emmanuel Dzotsi joined as the third co-host.

In February 2021, former Gimlet producer Eric Eddings revealed in a Twitter thread that Vogt and Reply All producer Sruthi Pinnamaneni had opposed staff unionization efforts and contributed to a "toxic culture" at the show, particularly for staffers of color.{{Cite tweet |number=1361789128006897668 |user=eeddings |title=Last week I got an email from Sruthi about Reply All's Test Kitchen series.

In January 2016, Gimlet launched the podcast Sampler, hosted by Brittany Luse, which, according to the producers, was "devoted to bringing you the best moments from the world of podcasting" by presenting excerpts from other, non-Gimlet podcasts and interviewing their makers.{{cite web |title=Sampler Trailer |url=https://gimletmedia.com/episode/sampler-trailer/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160411030939/https://gimletmedia.com/episode/sampler-trailer/ |archive-date=April 11, 2016 |access-date=March 11, 2016 |website=Gimlet Media}} On October 17, 2016, Blumberg and Luse announced on the Sampler season finale that the podcast had been canceled.

In November 2016, Gimlet described their new documentary series Undone as a show about "the things that happened when you weren't looking."

In episode 23, on January 19, 2017, Ward announced that she would be moving on to another Gimlet project and the show was then replaced by Flora Lichtman's Every Little Thing.

The premise of the show was to take seemingly uninteresting topics and, by exploring their stories, show that they are actually of interest.

Twice Removed was a family history podcast, which Gimlet claimed aimed to prove "we're one big family." The show was announced on December 5, with the first season debuting on December 16, 2016.
