Your Home for Talk: EverTalk TV

Co-founders Andy Waldman and Jezlan Moyet of EverTalk TV in West Hollywood, CA tell us a little more about the story behind America's first streaming talk show network with over 96 talk shows dedicated to inspiring, entertaining and empowering both the viewers and the show hosts. #YourHomeForTalk

Where did the idea for EverTalk TV come from?

The idea for EverTalkTV originated in 2017 with the proliferation and popularity of audio podcasts and the desire to capture these stories and conversations on video. The goal was to create the Netflix of Talk, and unlike Netflix whose content simply needed to be licensed to launch their service, EverTalk needed to create a critical mass of original talk shows to provide a viable streaming competitor in the rapidly evolving media landscape. EverTalkTV launched worldwide on Apple TV and Roku (in 150+ countries) in February of 2018.

What is EverTalk TV's mission?

Our mission is to Inspire, Empower and Entertain. EverTalk provides content creators the ability to host their own talk shows in a professional studio or virtually, create community, and capture the legacies of the brightest entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, authors, influencers and more.

What types of shows are on the network?

EverTalkTV is home to 96 talk shows that appear on our platform, spanning all genres, including fitness, finance, entertainment, lifestyle, wellness, spirituality, and positivity. Our flagship one hour morning show, EverTalk Live streams live weekdays at 9am PST from our West Hollywood studio starring Jezlan Moyet (Co-Founder & Media Personality) and Rob Mack (Happiness Expert & Best Selling Author).

How are you continuing to create content despite COVD-19 restrictions?

During this unique time in our history, we have created a program for selected hosts to host virtual interviews, because we are #evertogether. Our hosts are utilizing Instagram Live and directly engaging their followers/audience while introducing them to the EverTalk community. These special moments in our history deserve more than a fleeting IG story, EverTalkTV has the unique ability to preserve the content on our platform with a special channel, EverTogetherTV.

Who are some notable guests that have appeared on the network?

We have had over 4,200 guests on EverTalkTV since inception. Some notable guests include Sherri Shepard, Eden Sassoon, Nia Sanchez, Peter Crone, Kelly Gores, Lilian Garcia, and more.

How can aspiring TV hosts build their reel?

EverTalk encourages all local Angelenos to submit their original ideas for a talk show. If selected, they have the opportunity to co-produce a 20 minute talk show. EverTalk shares the content with the host on their respective platforms. Each show is selected based on the potential guests a given host might be able to bring into the studio and featuring a subject matter that is both interesting and of an evergreen nature whereby the content remains relevant for years to come.

How can brands get involved with EverTalk TV?

EverTalkTV is community powered and we feature dozens of brands each month via our various talk shows. The platform encourages hosts to discover local brands, start ups, and small business to feature the founder's journey. We curate various co-branded content and in kind partnerships proudly featured in our shows and our production studio.

What makes a great show, in your opinion?

A great show is one that follows our mission, one that inspires, empowers and entertains and most importantly tells the story of the guest in an evergreen manner that gives it a timeless quality that allows it to live on our streaming platform and remain relevant for years to come.

How do you think the future of content creation is shifting?

The future of content creation as it relates to talk shows is shifting from audio podcast to video, in both long and short form content. The vast majority of this content will not be formerly monetized by the creators, rather produced out of a passion to both build personal brands, and make a difference to the community and their respective guests through storytelling.

Now that you've acquired an impressive roster of shows and talent, what is the next goal for EverTalk TV?

The goal of EverTalkTV is to continue to make truly purposeful and entertaining video talk show content with a focus on increased viewership via strategic distribution partnerships and external third party investors. We recognize how much conversation matters, how much community matters, and we need more of what matters.
