Cumulus Podcast Network Senior Vice President and Executive Editor John Wordock has announced he has departed the group.
“After a fun and productive five-year run at Cumulus Podcast Network, I have some news. I have officially left Westwood One,” Wordock said in a post to social media. “I’m now actively looking for a new home for my podcast talents in this exciting industry. As an award-winning editorial leader, I have 18 years of experience across content creation, platform partnerships, audience development, business planning, show promotion, and content acquisitions.”
Before joining Cumulus and Westwood One, Wordock served as the Executive Podcast Producer for The Wall Street Journal. He also served in a similar role at Dow Jones and the MarketWatch Radio Networks.
Under his tutelage, the Cumulus Podcast Network has grown to become the seventh-largest sales network by weekly average downloads, according to Triton Digital.
The network has five podcasts in the top 100 by average weekly downloads, featuring shows hosted by Dan Bongino, Mark Levin, Shawn Ryan, Ed Mylett, and Lala Kent, according to the latest rankings from Triton.
