Ted Cruz Gets Syndication Deal, Expands Podcast To Three Times A Week

Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz recently signed a deal with a radio platform to air his popular political podcast three times a week.

Cruz struck a deal with media giant iHeartMedia to air his political podcast, “Verdict with Ted Cruz,” the podcast announced Friday. The senator began hosting the weekly podcast two-and-a-half years ago along with the conservative Daily Wire podcaster Michael Knowles.

“This thing for the podcast is just a big damn deal,” the senator said in a video announcing the deal. “iHeartRadio is a monster. It’s got 850 stations across the country, and so this was not something we were out looking for, but they came and they saw what was happening on this podcast.

They saw all the work, the incredible viewers and fans and engaged viewers we have all over the country, and they said, ‘Listen, we want to take this podcast to the next level. We want to reach, we want to promote it across our 850 stations.”
