Sarah Spain has a new role with the iHeart Women’s Sports Network. According to her LinkedIn profile, Spain has been elevated to the role of content director for the first-ever audio platform dedicated exclusively to women’s sports.
Spain originally was signed by the company when the network launched in April of 2024, and since then, she has contributed content to the network with her Good Game with Sarah Spain podcast.
“Thrilled to add this position to my work with iHeart, using my years of experience to help oversee strategic growth for the first-ever audio platform dedicated exclusively to women’s sports,” Spain wrote.
The iHeart Women’s Sports Network was founded last year by iHeartMedia and Deep Blue Sports + Entertainment. Since its inception, iHeart Women’s Sports has raised women’s sports coverage from less than one percent in 2024 among iHeartRadio stations to more than 34 percent in 2025. As a result, the platform now reaches 89 million monthly listeners across nearly 500 broadcast radio stations in just one year.
Moreover, as women’s sports viewership continues to rise, iHeartMedia has remained dedicated to ensuring fair representation in media. In fact, 50 percent of all newly produced sports podcasts now focus on women’s sports coverage.
““I’ll help with executing and overseeing content and sponsorship strategy, pitching new sponsors, consulting on marketing and sponsorship campaigns and developing creative content,” Spain wrote about her new role.
Since the launch last April, the network has released more than 4,100 weekly women’s sports radio reports. In addition, it has launched more than 15 podcasts, further emphasizing its commitment to the space.
Looking ahead, it is expected that Spain will continue with her role as host of the Good Game podcast while simultaneously taking on the responsibilities of her new leadership position.
