DALLAS TX, USA—YEA Networks, announces the launch today of a new podcast hosted by television personality and social media star Foodgod (aka Jonathan Cheban). On the weekly podcast, Foodgod: OMFG!, Foodgod takes listeners on the ride of their lives, talking about his lifestyle, travels, food and more, often with his friends and celebrity guests. Kicking off the premiere episode is best friend and international icon, Kim Kardashian.

Jonathan Cheban got his famous name “The Foodgod” from his A-list palate of all things culinary -- and boasts an Instagram following of over 3.4 million that track his food adventures around the globe. Widely known for his recurring roles on TV, particularly “Keeping Up With The Kardashians,” Foodgod is now the biggest food influencer online and has the decadent diet to prove it.

Recently honored as The Food Influencer Of The Year (Monaco 2018), Foodgod was named “The Most Influential Name in Food” by Food & Beverage Magazine and appeared on the cover of the LA Times announcing his rise to a dining deity. He has also appeared on hit TV shows including “The Spin Crowd” and “Celebrity Big Brother” and is a regular personality in the media for his international taste and style.

Foodgod said: “I’d been asked to do a podcast before, but it didn’t feel like the right time. I feel like now podcasting has come into the mainstream and I’m at a point in my life where I wanted to jump in and do it. I’ve had a blast recording the first few episodes and I can’t wait for my fans to hear the show each week.”

George Laughlin, Chief Executive Officer, YEA Networks, said: “For anyone that thinks Foodgod is just a reality TV star and social media influencer, you haven’t heard the podcast yet! He’s a gifted storyteller, hilarious, and a natural in the studio. We’re excited for him to join the YEA family.”

Foodgod: OMFG! is available now on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, TuneIn, Audioboom and other podcast services. New episodes are available Thursdays at 9am ET.
