iHeart Launches Elvis Duran Podcast Network

• iHeartMedia and Premiere-syndicated personality Elvis Duran announced a partnership to launch the Elvis Duran Podcast Network, which will be distributed by iHeartPodcasts.

The agreement includes a slate of original entertainment podcasts that will be co-produced by Duran and iHeartPodcasts, including a new, original podcast, Thinking Out Loud with Elvis Duran. The debut episode is out now and features a conversation with singer-songwriter Kesha. The network will be also be home to the replay podcast of Elvis Duran and the Morning Show, along with several other original podcasts.

“We’re excited to launch this network and connect with even more listeners and fans,” said Duran. “I’m confident the audience will love the variety of personalities, including Tommy DiDario and Medha Gandhi, and the entertaining programs that we’ll be presenting. I’m also looking forward to sitting down with a wide range of people on my new podcast and taking a deep dive in whichever direction they choose — something I’m not always able to do on my radio show. It’s going to be a fun adventure together!”

Will Pearson, President of iHeartPodcasts, remarked, “Elvis has long been a companion for millions of people across the country every morning as they prepare to start their day — it’s truly an art the way he engages and energizes these listeners in a way that very few can. We couldn’t be more excited to be introducing a whole network of shows curated by Elvis himself that are guaranteed to entertain people everywhere throughout the day.”
