The talk of Iowa. (For good reason)
Why the obsession with local? Today, national media companies are reeling from divisive and click-bait content. It works for clicks but it’s not sustainable as they’re discovering. So, what’s their solution? Double down and end locally produced content. That left a vacuum we filled!
IowaPodcast.com fills the need for local hosts that know our state. As local media cancels local shows, and fires local journalists, we’re growing. Today, more than 10,000 Iowans come to us monthly because they want Iowa-focused content.
Why Iowa Podcasts?
Gallup has recorded record lows for trust in media. People are turning to local content they can trust. Our hosts aren’t insulated by PR teams—they’re accessible and held accountable by their own community. They have to tell the truth because they live and work here. They’re respected by their community and don’t hide behind political or ideological tribalism.
Our hosts go to The Des Moines Symphony for Yankee Doodle Pops. You’ll see them at Scandinavian Days in Story City or Anamosa Pumpkinfest. You’ll bump into them at the Iowa State Fair.
Our collection of Iowa Podcasts are what we went looking for but couldn’t find. We ask that you join us on this journey!
Why was IowaPodcast.com started?
IowaPodcast.com was founded September of 2022 by entrepreneur and PR/comms guy and former journalist, Justin Brady. During Brady’s 3-year small weekend hobby show at WHO Radio, he quickly led the entire state in digital impressions. As the station pulled away from local content, he filled the need by creating IowaPodcast.com.
Brady has interviewed Iowa’s biggest names, Presidential Candidates, New York Times bestselling authors, the CEOs of Starbucks, Ancestry.com, and Hint and wrote for The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Des Moines Register and Cedar Rapids Gazette.
