From couture and celebrity culture to contested marks and country life, No Utes in the Valet is bringing its uniquely Australian mix of style, sport and seriously good banter to the iHeart Podcast Network, officially partnering with ARN’s digital arm.
Hosted by celebrity stylist and TV Presenter Elliot Garnaut and four-time AFL premiership player and Norm Smith Medallist Isaac Smith, No Utes in the Valet sits at the intersection of style, sport and pop culture, delivering conversations that span fashion, footy, entertainment and everything in between.
Dropping every Monday, No Utes in the Valet is the fast-talking, fashion-meets-footy podcast nobody asked for but somehow has something for absolutely everyone. Country-born Isaac and city-bred Elliot bring their wildly different perspectives to the microphone, creating a dynamic fuelled by cultural contrast, genuine friendship, sharp observations and the kind of sibling-like banter that has become the show’s signature.
From dissecting the business of the Oscars red carpet and whether sport is becoming entertainment, to AFL Grand Final week, Brownlow fashion, Kylie Minogue, Australian Fashion Week and the global spectacle of the NFL or celebrity and business culture, No Utes in the Valet has carved out its own lane.
The partnership announcement follows last week’s news that Elliot and Isaac will join KIIS 1011’s new Breakfast show alongside Ash London, launching Monday 26 October, further strengthening their growing presence across ARN’s audio network.
Since launching just over 12 months ago, No Utes in the Valet has cultivated a loyal and highly engaged audience and with the support of iHeart, the podcast is set to accelerate its growth, expand its reach and connect with even more listeners across the KIIS and iHeart ecosystem.
Speaking on joining iHeart, Elliot Garnaut said: “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!”
Isaac 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.”
As part of the partnership, ARN will support advertising sales for the podcast and support audience growth across the iHeart ecosystem, building on the strong community already surrounding the show.
Head of iHeart Strategic Partnerships and Product Corey Layton said: “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.”
New episodes of No Utes in the Valet are released every Monday morning and will continue to be available across all major podcast platforms, including the free iHeart app, and supported by video content on YouTube and iHeart channels.
