The Cumulus Podcast Network has announced it is adding The Benny Show — hosted by Benny Johnson — to its growing roster of podcasts.
New episodes of The Benny Show will continue to release at 11 AM ET and will be available on both YouTube and Apple Podcasts.
“The goal is to inform, entertain, and grow this community every day. We are creating a place where we can all laugh at the absurdity of our modern American political and cultural landscape, regardless of your political background,” said Benny Johnson. “Westwood One is the premier radio, streaming, and podcast network in the country. This partnership ensures that we can take our program to the next level for our audience – which is the singular mission.”
Johnson — who previously hosted a weekend show on Newsmax for nearly three years — has grown his following to more than 12 million across a variety of social media platforms.
“As the Cumulus Podcast Network further expands into video, The Benny Show is a natural addition to our portfolio of personality-driven talk shows,” said Collin R. Jones, President of Westwood One and EVP, Corporate Strategy & Development for Cumulus Media. “Benny is well known on YouTube as a strong and independent voice in conservative talk. He challenges mainstream opinions with cutting-edge insight and straightforward questions, capturing both listeners and partners with his streamlined, frank approach.”
