Shots Podcast Network

Cumulus Media has expanded its podcast lineup with the addition of the Shots Podcast Network to the Cumulus Podcast Network, marking a move into creator-led audio entertainment. Under the agreement, Westwood One's Cumulus Podcast Network will distribute, market, and monetize Shots Podcast Network content, while Shots will continue to produce and own all of its shows.

The Shots Podcast Network, known for its viral content and massive fanbase, includes hit shows such as Full Send Podcast hosted by Kyle Forgeard, One Night with Steiny featuring Aaron "Steiny" Steinberg, and The Rush with Maxx hosted by NFL star Maxx Crosby.

With more than 2.2 million YouTube subscribers and 430 million total views, Full Send has become a pop-culture staple, featuring guests including Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Mike Tyson, Dana White, and Stephen A. Smith. The show's blend of humor, authenticity, and controversy has fueled its appeal among young adults.

One Night with Steiny has rapidly grown its audience with unfiltered celebrity interviews and comedic banter, while The Rush gives football fans inside access to the NFL through Crosby's perspective and guest appearances from top players like Davante Adams and Cam Jordan.

"This partnership with Cumulus is a game-changer," said John Shahidi, CEO of Shots Podcast Network. "Their infrastructure allows us to amplify our creators and connect with audiences in new ways."

Collin Jones, President of Westwood One and the Cumulus Podcast Network, added, "Shots is one of the most dynamic and influential creator networks in media today. Their fearless approach and massive fan engagement make them a perfect fit for our network."

Shots Podcast Network shows are available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and across the Cumulus Podcast Network's digital platforms, with new episodes dropping weekly.
