Podcast Radio/Radio New Zealand

The newly launched PODCAST RADIO in LONDON has announced its first international content partnership.

The deal with RADIO NEW ZEALAND will enable PODCAST RADIO to broadcast sample episodes of seven of RNZ’s most popular podcasts including the true crime podcast GONE FISHING. 

PODCAST RADIO CEO GERRY EDWARDS announced the RADIO NEW ZEALAND partnership at the RAIN (Radio and Internet News) Summit in NEW YORK on WEDNESDAY (3/4).

EDWARDS said: “We’re excited to sign our first content partnership with such a prestigious international broadcaster. I started my career in NEW ZEALAND and know what brilliant, high quality, beautifully produced programs RNZ make. These podcasts are fantastic and we’re so proud to showcase and share them on PODCAST RADIO.”

RNZ Podcasts and Series Executive Producer TIM WATKIN said, “We’re thrilled some of our amazing podcasts can now be heard on the radio in the UK. RNZ podcasts are known for pushing boundaries so we’re really impressed with what PODCAST RADIO is trying to do. We look forward to a fruitful partnership that showcases the best of what we do and encourages people to download the whole series and browse our other shows.” 

Last week, PODCAST RADIO announced that US radio personality GENE BAXTER, who spent 30 years on ENTERCOM Alternative KROQ (106.7)/LOS ANGELES would be joining GERRY as the station’s second Podjock – a cross between a DJ and announcer – who introduces the podcasts played.
