KAUS AM is the first Podcast Radio affiliate to feature dedicated genre hours, covering business, true crime, comedy and music discussions. This genre-based scheduling ensures a dynamic listening experience throughout the day, allowing audiences to enjoy content tailored to their interests. Delivered through Podcast Radio’s platform in partnership with LRN, the station brings the best in podcasting directly to Minnesota’s airwaves.
Featuring top business podcasts, gripping true crime stories and lively comedy shows, Podcast Radio offers broadcasters an appointment-to-listen format with a wide variety of content.
An attractive option for broadcasters
“We are excited to have Podcast Radio on in Minnesota,” said Gerard Edwards, CEO of Podcast Radio. “Our genre-based scheduling allows us to offer something for every listener while using the trusted radio format to connect audiences with the world of podcasts. Alpha Media has been an incredible partner, and we look forward to expanding our presence.”
Podcast Radio says its flexible format makes it an attractive option for broadcasters seeking to fill multiple dayparts or even full 24/7 schedules. With genre-based content that can be customized to fit local audiences, Podcast Radio offers stations a unique listening experience. Its cloud-based delivery via LRN’s RVC platform ensures seamless integration with existing station automation systems.
Gary Krantz, CEO of KMG Networks, overseeing Podcast Radio’s syndication plans, commented, “We’re thrilled to expand our Alpha Media partnership in Minnesota. The genre-specific hours give stations flexibility while the variety blocks bring the best of the diverse podcast world to radio using innovative formatting.”

With its curated genre hours and top-tier content, this partnership offers something unique for everyone. The Podcast Radio team’s accommodating approach has been refreshing.”
