After leaving Radio France, Mathieu Gallet turned to podcasting, launching the Majelan platform.
Almost three years later, the start-up, which refuses to communicate on its number of subscribers, joins forces with Bouygues Telecom so that its 1,500 audio contents are available in the operator’s offers, via a preferential rate. of 3.99 euros per month. “This agreement will allow us to change dimension, a bit like music streaming ten years ago. If we remember Deezer, which had established a partnership like ours with Orange, or Spotify already with Bouygues Telecom, we know that being distributed by telecom platforms brings in a new audience that doesn’t necessarily know us yet.”explains the founding president of Majelan Mathieu Gallet.
“However, this partnership does not prevent us from discussing with other distributors”

This deal is indeed welcome for Majelan, which is struggling to take off in this ultra-competitive sector of native podcasts despite the quality of its programs, 70% of which are exclusives.
After starting with a free game, majelan has become 100% paying but does not exclude going back: “We are thinking about perhaps opening up the platform a little, having content that would be free. As for our editorial line, it is much more general public than before. We have invested in personal development, in mental health topics , it’s still going very well, but we’ve decided to reopen our editorial field so that really all audiences can find themselves on this exclusive narrative audience offer. So, there are programs for children, for the active, the less active. Today is a platform on which we find ourselves, we look alike, we come together.”, cincludes Mathieu Gallet.
