ECHOHOUSE and Jay Walker Announce Long-Term Mega Contract; Daily Show to Launch August 11

Echohouse, the unapologetic culture-first podcast and media company, has announced that The Jay Walker Show will officially premiere on August 11, 2025. The show is launching under a historic four-year, $56 million contract that includes a $29.57 million signing bonus paid in full upfront - a deal that places Jay Walker among the highest-paid daily podcasters under the age of 30.

Originally scheduled for July 1, the launch was rescheduled to allow Walker the opportunity to finalize details around his upcoming television project and enter this new podcasting era with the full support and infrastructure Echohouse has put in place.

"This isn't just a podcast - this is testimony on the mic," said Jay Walker. "It's truth, redemption, purpose, and calling. After everything I've been through, to now have a platform that believes in what I carry? That's what Echohouse gave me. And now I'm giving it back daily."

Echohouse CEO and Chairwoman Maya D. Foster has been vocal in her support of Walker and the company's decision to go all-in on his future.

"There were so many rumors that Jay was homeless - and yes, he's shared pieces of that truth," said Foster. "So we gave him a signing bonus that ensures he'll never have to worry about that again. What's more important is that he's walking in deliverance, not drama. We didn't just hire a personality - we aligned with a purpose."

"And if anybody has a problem with Jay Walker working for Echohouse?" Maya added. "You can go ahead and deal with it. He's not going anywhere. Period."

The partnership goes beyond the show. Walker will work closely with Echohouse on multiple projects, including the development of new series, multimedia campaigns, nonprofit collaborations through The Shift Foundation, and live experience-based events. He will also continue serving as a national spokesperson for the company.

"Jay has done the internal work," said Elise Grant, Head of Network Strategy. "He's been through the fire, and now he's speaking from a place of freedom. His story is what makes his voice matter - not just to fans, but to a generation looking for something real."

With over 26 million downloads and 2.2 million weekly listeners, The Jay Walker Show will be recorded at Echohouse's flagship studio in Atlanta, supported by satellite production outposts in Las Vegas and Dallas. The daily show will blend commentary, inspiration, culture, truth-telling, and bold guest interviews - released Monday through Friday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major platforms.
