Vulture

Vulture was founded in 2007 as an entertainment-and-culture outlet of New York providing an authentic, relatable experience for pop-culture fans — which is to say, caring disproportionately about great (and not great) entertainment and the people who create it. Launched with a focus on TV recaps and general Hollywood news, the site has grown into a destination where visitors can find comprehensive coverage of TV, movies, music, art, books, theater, comedy, podcasts, among other media and pursuits, all delivered with wit, insight, criticism, and the appropriate amount of appreciation.

Along the way, Vulture evolved and expanded. The first annual Vulture Festival was held in New York City in 2014, inaugurating a pop-culture franchise that brings the website to life. The Vulture TV Podcast premiered in 2015, marking the brand’s entry into audio and establishing a show portfolio that now features Good One: A Podcast About Jokes and Switched on Pop. In 2018, Vulture and New York acquired the comedy site Splitsider, formerly part of the Awl Network, cementing Vulture as the authority on the subject. In 2022, the site debuted the entertainment-infused “Vulture 10x10,” a daily crossword tailored to its audience of pop-culture obsessives.
