Podcast Radio is collaborating with Alpha Media in the US to launch its format in Missouri.
Podcast Radio Missouri will appear on KREI-AM (Farmington) from May 27th and KWIX AM/FM (Moberly) on June 17th.
It will be featured across dayparts on the two stations, prominently acting as the Morning Show in both markets.
Listeners will hear podcast content from across North America and the world, while also giving airtime to local Missouri podcast content. Local imaging and station IDs will feature across Podcast Radio Missouri broadcast hours, which also include original interviews with podcasters.
Gene ‘Bean’ Baxter acts as lead interviewer, delving deep into the methodology and personality of both local and national podcasts and their creators.
