Chris Jericho launched Talk is Jericho, in 2013 with PodcastOne. This month, Jericho decided to move his show over to Westwood One where he’ll produce two shows every week (Wednesday and Friday). Jericho is a six-time WWE champion, a musician, and New York Times bestselling author.
Jericho said, “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. 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. Now, with the gigantic reach and full promotional support of Westwood One behind me, Talk Is Jericho is going straight to the toppermost of the poppermost, where we will continue to bring you the best pop culture, music, wrestling, paranormal, movie, bake-sale related podcast on the planet.”
“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.
