Podcast News - with Acast

    Kasich & Klepper
    Play trailerFrom Acast: Kasich & Klepper features two rather different people - John Kasich, former Governor of Ohio and 2016 Republican presidential candidate; and Jordan Klepper, a liberal comedian best known for his viral videos interviewing MAGA supporters for The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. In this weekly talk show podcast, the pair will come together to scream their differing political opinions at each other for an hour… just kidding. They’ll dive into conversations about parenting, leadership, pop culture, mental health, and more — all with a good sense of humor and a whole lot of jokes at each other’s expense.
    Pod Chat
    Play trailerPod Chat this week has special guest Bryan Barletta from Sounds Profitable. He thinks podcasters are our own worst enemy at monetisation: “I think that the closer you are to the podcast space, the more you hear negatives about ads and about the industry. But I think the general public understands that ads are how things go around.”
    The Daily Aus
    Play trailerARN’s iHeartPodcast Network Australia has partnered with The Daily Aus, a fast-growing news outlet for millennials. Bringing stories that matter for young Aussies, ARN will help them reach a wider audience.
