Cumulus Media announced that Chris Van Vliet's interview series, "Insight with Chris Van Vliet," will join the Cumulus Podcast Network, part of Westwood One's portfolio. Under the new partnership, Cumulus will distribute, market, and monetize the popular show across its extensive audio platform.

As professional wrestling experiences a surge in mainstream popularity fueled by major streaming deals and record-breaking audience growth for WWE and AEW, Van Vliet's Insight continues to dominate as one of the most recognized wrestling and entertainment interview programs. The show consistently ranks among the top sports and entertainment podcasts on Apple and Spotify, while Van Vliet's two YouTube channels have attracted nearly two million subscribers and more than 2.8 billion views.

Launched as a passion project, Insight features in-depth, in-person conversations with leading figures from wrestling and beyond, including The Rock, John Cena, Dave Bautista, Chris Jericho, Becky Lynch, Cody Rhodes, Jelly Roll, Rey Mysterio, and The Undertaker. Known for his thoughtful and candid approach, Van Vliet explores not only his guests' careers but also the motivations and mindsets behind their success.

"I couldn't be more excited to bring Insight to the Cumulus Podcast Network," said Van Vliet. "Pro wrestling is the hottest it's been in decades, and this partnership allows us to continue growing the show and connecting with fans who love authentic, meaningful conversations."

Collin Jones, President of Westwood One and the Cumulus Podcast Network, added, "Chris Van Vliet is a standout creator whose authenticity and consistency have built a powerful brand. His podcast is a perfect fit for our network, and we're thrilled to welcome him to the Cumulus family."

The partnership will provide Insight with expanded distribution, marketing support, and advertising resources, along with opportunities for live events and bonus content. New episodes will continue to release multiple times per week across YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Cumulus Podcast Network digital channels.
