("Libsyn"), the leading all-in-one podcasting platform for creators and advertisers, today announced an exclusive, multi-year advertising deal between Libsyn's AdvertiseCast, the industry's premier podcast advertising marketplace that connects advertisers with podcasters, and The Viall Files, an award-winning pop culture podcast hosted by Nick Viall - a TV personality, best-selling author, and former star of ABC's ‘The Bachelor.'
