Northwestern Media (Minneapolis) has produced The Christ, a four-part podcast series for Easter 2026. The series is being provided free of charge and can be white labelled for your local market audience. Stations may use the series both as a radio broadcast and as a podcast on your website and podcasting platforms.
CMAA is coordinating agreements for Australian and New Zealand stations.
Release Schedule (Holy Week 2026)
- Episode 1: Tuesday, March 31
- Episode 2: Wednesday, April 1
- Episode 3: Thursday, April 2
- Episode 4: Good Friday, April 3
PLEASE NOTE: Episodes should not be aired before they release on the podcast feed. Stations may air them on the day they are released or wait and air them across the Easter weekend.
How Stations Can Use the Series
Stations may:
- Access a custom RSS feed (unique Australian or New Zealand country feed) or embedded player
- Air episodes on radio (not before podcast release dates)
- Publish and distribute the series as a podcast on their website and podcast platforms
- Air daily during release week or across the Easter weekend
- Sell local sponsorship advertising for their airing - and retain all sponsorship revenue
That’s right - stations are welcome to secure a local sponsor for both their radio broadcast and website/podcast distribution and keep the funds. CMAA will also explore the opportunity for a national sponsor.
Stations are not permitted to create their own RSS feeds.
