Is PodcastOne close to being acquired? The company says it has had “multiple” people interested in buying the company; and has formed a special committee, and retained a financial advisor, to examine them. This is after one of its shareholders sent PodcastOne a letter telling them to retain an investment bank or strategic advisor, saying that its shares were undervalued. The company’s shares are up around 50% on the news, and are currently around $2.59; in May they were trading at over $5, though.

We were a little confusing yesterday: obviously, the US mid-term elections are on Nov 3; Goalhanger’s coverage starts at midnight on Nov 4th. Many states allow you to vote early, and in some places you can vote this weekend if you’d like to.
