iHeart, Amy Brown In The Podcast Biz

• iHeartMedia, the No. 1 podcast publisher globally, and Amy Brown, co-host of iHeartMedia’s The Bobby Bones Show and host of the popular 4 Things with Amy Brown podcast, announced a partnership to launch The Amy Brown Podcast Network. The agreement includes a slate of health and wellness podcasts that will be co-produced by Brown and iHeartRadio.

“Our goal is to provide the highest quality programming across every podcast genre — and health and wellness is one of the most important categories in the medium right now, given the engagement of the listeners and the authenticity of the content,” said Conal Byrne, President of the iHeartPodcast Network. “Amy is an incredible podcast talent — not just as the host of her own show, but someone who has a great eye for recruiting and developing new podcasts, too — and we want to support that however we can.”

The Amy Brown Podcast Network launches this week with three podcasts: OUTWEIGH with Amy Brown & Lisa Hayim, You Need Therapy with Kathryn DeFatta and The Truthiest Life with Lisa Hayim. The new shows will be available on iHeartRadio and everywhere podcasts are heard.

Brown (pictured) remarked, “I’m so thankful for the opportunity to team up with iHeartRadio to highlight these brilliant women and give them a platform to share their voices through The Amy Brown Podcast Network. The work they’re doing to empower people and improve their lives is inspiring. I can’t wait to share these shows, and others to come, with listeners!”
