No Utes in the Valet joins iHeart Podcast Network

Elliot Garnaut and Isaac Smith’s No Utes in the Valet has joined ARN’s iHeart Podcast Network, with the broadcaster supporting advertising sales and audience growth for the weekly show.

The announcement comes after last week’s news that Smith and Garnaut will join Ash London on KIIS 101.1’s new Melbourne breakfast show, launching on October 26.

Hosted by celebrity stylist and television presenter Garnaut and four-time AFL premiership player and Norm Smith Medallist Smith, the podcast covers fashion, sport, entertainment and celebrity culture.

ARN backs sales and audience growth

Launched just over a year ago, No Utes in the Valet draws on the hosts’ different backgrounds, pairing country-born Smith with city-bred Garnaut.

Topics have ranged from the business of the Oscars red carpet and Brownlow fashion to AFL Grand Final week, Australian Fashion Week and the NFL.

Under the partnership, ARN will support advertising sales and help grow the show’s audience across the iHeart ecosystem.

Corey Layton, Head of iHeart Strategic Partnerships and Product, said the show offered opportunities for brands across several formats.

“We're thrilled to welcome No Utes in the Valet to the iHeart Podcast Network. Elliot and Isaac have created a genuinely unique show uniting sport, culture and style across audio, video and socials. Their chemistry is undeniable, and we're excited to help grow the audience even further while connecting brands with their passionate and loyal community.”

From podcast partners to breakfast radio

The agreement follows last week’s announcement that Garnaut and Smith will join London on KIIS 101.1 breakfast, extending their presence across ARN’s podcast and radio businesses.

Garnaut said the partnership would bring the podcast to more listeners.

“What started as a small chat between friends has grown exponentially into something that has become a central figure of the Aussie zeitgeist. We are so excited to be partnering with iHeart to take No Utes to more audiences and, of course, promise the signature chaos and Enlightenment along the way. We can’t wait!”

Smith added: “Elliot and I started No Utes in the Valet because we couldn’t stop talking about sport, fashion, culture and everything else going on around us - so it’s pretty surreal to see where it’s taken us. We’re excited to keep bringing the banter, new co-hosts and the big conversations and probably a few questionable opinions along the way.”

New episodes will continue to be released every Monday morning across all major podcast platforms, including the free iHeart app, with supporting video content on YouTube and iHeart channels.
