MediaWorks has welcomed broadcaster, journalist and Kiwi personality Brodie Kane to the rova podcast family.
She’ll bring her acclaimed Kiwi Yarns podcast to the platform, with more projects to be announced soon.
Kane joins rova with her energy, warmth and unapologetically Kiwi storytelling.
Her podcasts on rova will continue to champion honest conversations, big laughs and relatable stories from everyday New Zealanders through to well-known local voices.
A full-circle moment
“I’m absolutely thrilled to be joining rova and the amazing team at MediaWorks,” says Kane.
“It’s a bit of a full-circle moment for me too, my first job as a journalist back in 2007 was at MediaWorks, so it’s been lovely to see some familiar faces already. Brace yourselves for a brilliant year of podcasts. I can’t wait for you to get your earholes around them!”
Head of content at MediaWorks Leon Wratt says: “Brodie Kane makes brilliant podcasts for New Zealanders and shows people genuinely care about, and that perfectly aligns with what we create and feature everyday on rova.
“We’re stoked to welcome her back to MediaWorks and to continue building our support of Kiwi creators who know how to spark conversations and build real audiences.”
A powerful addition
Matt Headland, chief digital officer at MediaWorks, says: “Brodie joining rova is a powerful addition to our digital ecosystem, bringing together a proven creator, a highly engaged audience and a platform built for scale.
“Partnerships like this accelerate rova’s growth by driving deeper listening, stronger brand alignment, and new commercial opportunities for advertisers wanting to connect with premium local content. It reinforces rova’s position as the home of New Zealand’s most influential podcast voices.”
The new season of Kiwi Yarns launches on Monday, February 2, with new episodes dropping weekly.
