A podcast hosted by former President Barack Obama’s speechwriter will air in 32 markets and across an award-winning channel on the Audacy app, the company announced Monday.
Lovett or Leave It hosted by Jon Lovett will feature comedians, actors, journalists, activists, and politicians talking about the biggest news of the day. The partnership to carry Lovett’s podcast also expands on a relationship with a company that he launched along with Jon Favreau and Tommy Vietor called Crooked Media.
The show will be available on CHANNEL Q, an Audacy Original Station and the award-winning LGBTQ+ Talk Radio Network, effective immediately.
“We’re delighted to build on our existing partnership with Crooked Media and deliver Lovett or Leave It to our CHANNEL Q audience, over the air in 32 markets and digitally nationally via station’s stream on the Audacy platform, each weekday,” said Jeff Sottolano, Executive Vice President of Programming, Audacy. “The show’s quick and witty flair for discussing the most relevant topics surrounding today’s political and pop culture landscapes is what differentiates itself and we look forward to welcoming the show to the CHANNEL Q family.”
CHANNEL Q is available nationwide with the Audacy app and on Audacy stations in 32 markets. Fans can also connect with the station on social media via Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
“We’re so excited to expand our partnership with Audacy to bring Lovett or Leave It to even more listeners around the country and to kick it off with our special Pride episode ‘Out of The Closets and Into the Streets,” said Sandy Girard, Senior Vice President of Programming, Crooked Media.
