Elvis Duran & Partners Launch ‘Podrophenia’
• The Elvis Duran Group, Looking4Larry and MCM Studios announced the launch of Podrophenia, colorfully described as “a next-generation podcast, vodcast and creator development company designed to help creators, brands and media personalities develop, produce, grow, distribute and monetize premium content.”
Founded through a strategic partnership between iHeartMedia’s Elvis Duran, WWE Hall of Famer/entertainment executive Paul Heyman, Emmy-winning producer/storyteller Mitchell Stuart and media entrepreneur Michael Canzoniero, Podrophenia brings together decades of experience across broadcasting, entertainment, production, brand building and audience development to create a comprehensive ecosystem for today’s evolving creator economy.
“I’ve seen firsthand the need for a state-of-the-art production facility for content creators, particularly podcasters,” said Duran (left). “With Paul Heyman and MCM Studios, we’re playing with the big boys!”
Through the Elvis Duran Group’s relationship with iHeartMedia and the Elvis Duran Podcast Network, Podrophenia-produced programming benefits from access to one of the largest audio companies in the world, providing creators and partners with expanded opportunities to reach audiences at scale.
Operating from MCM Studios’ state-of-the-art Manhattan production facility, Podrophenia serves as a full-service partner for both established talent and emerging creators looking to elevate their content through broadcast-quality production and strategic support.
The company’s inaugural flagship series, Hello Randy, hosted by Randy Fenoli, marks the beginning of Podrophenia’s growing portfolio of creator-driven original content and is expected to premiere later this year through iHeartMedia and the Elvis Duran Podcast Network. Additional original programming announcements are expected throughout 2026.
