Scott Greenstein, president and chief ⅽontent officer օf SiriusXM, iѕ predictably enthusiastic about the deal in a press statement:

"This groundbreaking new collaboration showcases our power to drive growth for an established podcast while bringing unique value back to our subscribers through exclusive content and events. I'm looking forward to new 'SmartLess' listeners discovering this one-of-a-kind trio's inimitable style on SiriusXM, and for current fans to see what magic happens when we team up together."
