New York, NY – September 15, 2020 – cabana, the digital audio business of AdLarge Media, has signed fictional fantasy podcast Carcerem for exclusive ad sales representation. Carcerem is an original audio fantasy series from Shane Salk Productions that features a star-studded cast, original music, and immersive sound design.

Featuring sword fights, monster attacks, giant battles, heart break, and humor, the first season of Carcerem launches September 22 with 32 episodes and more than 120 characters.
“Carcerem is the next step in the evolution of audio entertainment,” predicts Gary Schonfeld, co-Chief Executive Officer and co-Founder of cabana and AdLarge Media. “Audio fantasy is the newest genre in the growing podcast space, and Carcerem is setting the bar with an epic story, an original music score, and professional actors. It’s a completely immersive experience for listeners. The intense audience engagement that Carcerem will deliver is exactly what our podcast advertisers are looking for.”
Carcerem producer Shane Salk, who has had a lifelong love affair with audio fiction stories, stated, “We could tell right away that the entire team at cabana were creative and innovative, which made them the ideal ad sales partner for us. They ‘got it’ and saw the potential for Carcerem’s success with both listeners and advertisers.”
The impressive cast includes well-known actors, such as Jane Lynch (Glee) and Piper Laurie (Carrie, Twin Peaks), Neil Flynn (Scrubs, The Middle), two-time Emmy Award winner Maurice LaMarche (Pinky and the Brain, Futurama), Grey Griffin (Scooby Doo, The Simpsons), and more.
Carcerem is the debut production of Shane Salk Productions LLC, which was co-founded by Salk and William Holmes. Salk has produced award-winning series such as We’re Alive, which launched in 2009 and has over 200 million downloads. The Guardian recently called We're Alive “the gold standard of contemporary apocalypse shows.” Salk and Holmes also produced an award-winning audio version of A Christmas Carol starring the Emmy-winning voices of Maurice LaMarche and Rob Paulsen.
