Talk Is Jericho

Westwood One announces that six-time WWE champion, musician and author Chris Jericho has moved his podcast "Talk is Jericho," as well as Jericho Network podcasts, to the Westwood One Podcast Network for distribution and sales representation. "Talk is Jericho," which launched in 2013, debuted on WOPN on Wednesday, January 3. Two new shows will be available on-demand each Wednesday and Friday. The Jericho Network is also being distributed and represented by Westwood One and will debut on Monday, January 22.

"After four years of building 'Talk Is Jericho' into one of the most popular and successful podcasts in the world, I decided to make a change to take things to the next level. It didn't take long to realize that the only clear choice for a new home for TIJ and The Jericho Network content is Westwood One," said Jericho. "I used to listen to Westwood One radio specials as a teenager in Winnipeg and to have my show broadcasting with this legendary company brings things full circle for me."

"The Westwood One Podcast Network is fast-becoming the go-to destination for the biggest names in News/Talk, Sports, and Entertainment," said Suzanne Grimes, EVP, Corporate Marketing, Cumulus Media and President, Westwood One. "Like Chris, we are taking things to the next level by building a portfolio of the best podcast voices in America to serve and entertain our massive audience of a quarter of a billion weekly listeners. We welcome Chris to the Westwood One family, as his Pod of Thunder takes our listeners by storm."
