Garth Brooks’ The BIG 615 and TuneIn Launch ‘The StormeCast’ Podcast with Host Storme Warren
June 20 2024 - 1:10PM
TuneIn, the world’s leader in live audio, announces the launch of
The StormeCast, a new podcast from Garth Brooks’ The BIG 615.
Hosted by legendary country radio personality Storme Warren, The
StormeCast brings listeners intimate conversations with artists
about the journey from their hometowns to their first big break, as
well as extended interviews from Warren’s weekday show on The BIG
615 and more. The StormeCast debuts with a never-before-aired
conversation with Miranda Lambert that dives into her early days in
Nashville. The episode is available to stream now on TuneIn and all
major podcast platforms.
"I wish everyone loved country music as much as
Storme does," said Brooks. "He loves the artists and the artists
love him. That is what is going to make his podcast special."
The StormeCast features interviews with today’s
most influential country music stars and the incredible stories of
how they broke into country music, as well as their not-so-glitzy
first jobs in town, how many times they were told “no,” and most
importantly, how they powered through it all. Listeners can also
catch extended interviews from ‘The Storme Warren Show’ after they
run on The BIG 615. Each episode is brought to listeners
commercial-free by Tractor Supply Company.
“Storme, one of the best interviewers in radio,
knows how to create authentic moments with the world’s biggest
stars that you can’t find anywhere else,” said Rich Stern, CEO of
TuneIn. “The StormeCast is an extension of the high-quality content
Garth Brooks and the SEVENS Radio Network team deliver on a daily
basis on The BIG 615. Now, listeners have on-demand access to the
interviews they love on The BIG 615 and even more great
content.”
Brooks launched the SEVENS Radio Network on
TuneIn in June 2023 with its first station, The BIG 615 powered by
Tractor Supply Company. Since then, The BIG 615 has become the top
global country radio station on TuneIn. In its first year, the
station drew listeners from across the globe, from Brazil to
Australia, to hear an authentic take on country music.
The new podcast is the latest in a line of
milestones for the station in its first year, including:
- Country Radio Seminar (CRS)
Named The Storme Warren Show This Year’s Top Daily National
Personality/Show. In addition to the show taking top
honors, The BIG 615’s Music Director Monta Vaden was named the
leading National Programmer/Curator, marking the first time a woman
has won the prestigious award.
- Artist to Artist Series
Launched With Host Garth Brooks. In April, the station
launched a new interview series, hosted by Garth Brooks himself, to
take fans beyond the music and bring them closer to the most
influential country music artists.
- Sinead Burgess Joined
Lineup of Hosts. Popular singer-songwriter Sinead Burgess
from Australia joined The BIG 615 lineup of hosts in December to
bring more international voices to the station.
- Dive Bar Concert Drew Two
Million Entries. The station drew in over two million
entries in its first contest ever to let fans win tickets to Garth
Brooks’ Dive Bar concert to celebrate the opening of his Friends in
Low Places Bar & Honky Tonk in Nashville.
