Dear Media is a female focused podcast studio launched in 2018 out of Digital Brand Architects and is owned by DBA at the time UTA buys the management company in February 2019. It sells host read advertising against shows from lifestyle creators and brings podcasting into the DBA management stack. Its later ownership structure after 2019 is not confirmed here.
