Flagship daily show The Big Story delves deep into day’s “critical story”
TORONTO – Rogers Radio launched a new podcast network Monday, complete with a daily show known as The Big Story.
The Big Story, available on Apple Podcasts and Google Play weekdays at 6:00 AM ET, breaks down one critical story every day – anything from politics and entertainment, to sports, technology and human interest – all in 15 minutes. Frequency Podcast Network will be home to all Rogers Media podcasts, including Sportsnet's A Swing and a Belt and 31 Thoughts.
Rogers Media’s director of digital radio and audio Jordan Heath-Rawlings is host of The Big Story and accompanied by a rotating roster of talent from other Rogers’ brands including Maclean's, MoneySense, Today's Parent, Chatelaine, and CityNews, plus reporters at Rogers Radio stations across the country.
Monday’s inaugural podcast, ‘The Summer of Figuring Out Pot’, examined the remaining steps before legalized marijuana makes its way in to the hands of Canadians.
"More than ever before, Canadians are listening to digital audio whether they're at home or on-the-go commuting to work," said Rogers Radio SVP Julie Adam, in the news release. "Frequency Podcast Network provides our listeners a home-base for the highest quality audio content and allows our sales partners an opportunity to align their brands."
