Chad Prather is bringing two of his daily podcasts to Helios Media. The partnership will expand the distribution and monetization opportunities for both programs.
What We Know: Helios Media, the dedicated podcast network from Radio America, has signed Prather to sell his daily programs, Before The Noise and Noise Breaks. The one-hour Christian morning program, which airs Monday through Friday, focuses on Scripture, faith, and practical applications for daily life. Meanwhile, the 20- to 30-minute afternoon show blends humor with commentary on politics, entertainment and American culture. Prather has nearly 500,000 YouTube subscribers, 4.2 million Facebook followers and more than 750,000 Instagram followers. He previously hosted The Chad Prather Show on BlazeTV for five years before taking the program independent in 2024.
What They Said: “I’ve spent more than a decade building this audience one conversation at a time, and I wanted a partner that understands both the faith side and the culture side of what we do. Helios Media’s track record in distribution, audience development and sales makes them the right team to bring Before the Noise and Noise Breaks to a lot more people.” -Chad Prather
“Chad has built one of the most loyal audiences in independent media by talking plainly about faith, family and the issues shaping American culture, and doing it with a sense of humor that keeps people coming back every morning. That combination of conviction and authenticity is exactly what makes him a great fit for Helios Media.” -Helios Media President/CEO Mike Paradiso
What Remains Unclear: The announcement didn’t disclose financial terms of the agreement or whether the partnership will bring changes to either program’s distribution schedule. It also didn’t specify when Helios Media’s sales efforts will begin.
What It Means: The agreement gives Prather access to additional distribution, audience development and advertising sales resources. For Helios Media, the addition brings an established digital personality with a sizable following across multiple platforms. It also expands the network’s lineup with both faith-focused programming and daily cultural commentary.
