ARN has announced a new, long-term podcast partnership with leading Media and Entertainment group Global.

From today, ARN’s iHeart will be the exclusive advertising sales representative for Global’s premium podcast slate in Australia.

Global’s portfolio of original podcasts includes The News Agents, its companion show The News Agents USA, The Sports Agents, hosted by respected UK sports broadcasters Gabby Logan and Mark Chapman and the award-winning My Therapist Ghosted Me.

The partnership will also expand the availability of iHeart’s Australian podcasts, which will now be available on Global Player, Global’s entertainment app.

This will provide expats and British listeners access to popular shows including The Christian O’Connell Show, true-crime series The Lady Vanishes and Life Uncut with Brittany Hockley and Laura Byrne.

Corey Layton, ARN’s Head of Digital Audio, said “Global and ARN share a passion for delivering world-class audio experiences across both markets. We’re excited to bring shows like My Therapist Ghosted Me and The News Agents to Australian advertisers while collaborating to support our shared ambitions.”

Today’s announcement builds on Global’s existing partnership with iHeartMedia and coincides with their joint headline sponsorship of The Podcast Show London this week.

Katie Bowden, Managing Director of Commercial Audio at Global said “Today marks another exciting new chapter for podcasts here at Global.”

“Both Global and ARN see the potential to grow the commercial podcasting market across the world and connect with listeners everywhere through high-quality, premium podcasts and storytelling. We’re excited to be on this journey with ARN and iHeart and their impressive network of advertising partners.”
