Headgum is an American podcasting network founded in 2015 by Marty Michael, Amir Blumenfeld, and Jake Hurwitz.[1][2] The latter two – known collectively as comedy duo Jake and Amir – built upon the success of their podcast If I Were You to launch the network, with the show serving as its flagship program.[3][4] Before founding Headgum, Michael sold advertising space and branded content for CollegeHumor.[5] Headgum has studios in Los Angeles and New York[2] and, as of March 2019, hosts 57 shows, 34 of which are ongoing.[6] Headgum also features an active YouTube channel and presents Headgum Live!, a series of live shows featuring podcast hosts from the network.
