ARN's iHeart and Global Announce Podcast Partnership Australia's leading audio company ARN and UK-based media giant Global have announced a new long-term podcast partnership that will expand the reach and monetization of both companies' content across international markets.

As part of the agreement, ARN's iHeart platform becomes the exclusive advertising sales representative for Global's slate of original podcasts in Australia, effective immediately. Global's lineup includes hit series such as The News Agents hosted by Emily Maitlis, Jon Sopel, and Lewis Goodall; its U.S.-focused counterpart The News Agents USA; The Sports Agents with Gabby Logan and Mark Chapman; and the award-winning My Therapist Ghosted Me hosted by Vogue Williams and Joanne McNally.

In a reciprocal move, iHeart's Australian-produced podcasts will now be available to UK audiences via Global Player, Global's entertainment app. Popular titles such as The Christian O'Connell Show, The Lady Vanishes, and Life Uncut with Brittany Hockley and Laura Byrne will now reach British listeners and expats.

Corey Layton, ARN's Head of Digital Audio, said the collaboration reflects both companies' commitment to quality content and global expansion. "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," he said.

The partnership coincides with The Podcast Show London, where Global and iHeartMedia are serving as joint headline sponsors. The move also builds on Global's existing relationship with iHeartMedia in the U.S.

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

ARN's iHeart is currently Australia's top podcast publisher, reaching over 7 million listeners each month.
