"THE CHRIST" Podcast Can Be Your Easter Event, Too

More than a year ago, we signed on with the team at Faith Podcast Network and Northwestern Media to make a first-of-its-kind podcast event. An event that can be yours, too.

We were incredibly encouraged by the success of our SCROOGE podcast, made possible by our amazing partners at Hope Media Group. For SCROOGE, we nimbly took a legendary Dickens tale with lots of Christian elements and "turned up the volume" a bit on those elements to great effect and booming audience success.

But what about a story that was not just more religious, but the essential story of Christianity itself - the "greatest story ever told?"

That was the challenge with THE CHRIST, the four-part podcast series set to debut this Easter (follow the podcast here).

From the courts of Rome to the hills of Galilee, from prophecy to resurrection, THE CHRIST chronicles the life, death, and triumph of Jesus of Nazareth — the man who turned suffering into salvation and forever changed the meaning of love, power, and grace.

We built a wish list of talent, and we were thrilled that virtually all of our first choices said "yes." This is not just another faith-based dramatic podcast. Our cast is stacked with EMMY and GOLDEN GLOBE nominees and winners, including Hollywood legends and rising stars. Directing them was a challenge and a thrill.

And today, news about THE CHRIST is exploding everywhere, including a feature interview with Tom Pelphrey (TASK, OZARK, MANK) who plays Jesus Christ.

The cast also includes David Oyelowo (SELMA, Lawmen: Bass Reeves), Paul Walter Hauser (Blackbird, The Naked Gun, Richard Jewel, Cobra Kai), Patricia Heaton (Everybody Loves Raymond), John Rhys-Davies (Indiana Jones, Lord of the Rings), and more.

So what does this have to do with you and your audience?

Northwestern and Faith Podcast Network invested in this project to spread the message far and wide. So they want to partner with you and your station, and it won't cost you a penny.

Your radio station will receive a custom podcast feed or player for your website, along with promotional materials that are white labeled and allow you to present this within your own brand.
