LOS ANGELES, March 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Manifest Media, the creative studio behind the Table Read Podcast, is partnering with New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Brenda Jackson to bring Hot Love, a new, heartfelt, and fresh podcast series of true romance stories told Brenda Jackson-style.
Launching in April, the series will feature fan-submitted love stories, transformed and reimagined by Jackson into the steamy, emotionally raw narratives she’s famous for. These stories will then come to life, voiced by celebrities and notable talent into a full-blown audio drama experience.
Just in time to celebrate the release of Jackson’s 150th novel on April 01, Hot Love marks her bold entry into the audio drama format, offering fans a fresh way to experience her storytelling genius. “We’re thrilled to bring Brenda’s phenomenal storytelling into the audio space, creating a completely new way for fans to connect with her work,” said Mark Knell, Co-Founder of Manifest Media. “It’s bold, collaborative, and it’s going to blow people away.”
To bring this vision to life, Manifest Media is launching a Kickstarter campaign inviting fans to actively participate. Exclusive rewards include autographed merchandise and swag, VIP set invitations, early episode access, behind-the-scenes content, and the opportunity to have personal love stories featured on the show. The highest tiers of the campaign also invite fans to join the set as backers and lend their voices to the podcast alongside celebrity guests.
