Broadcasting Gospel Music With the Devine Jamz iHeartRadio Program Worldwide

I’m Ray Oster, Founder of Devine Jamz Gospel Network, and I want to pull back the curtain a bit. The Devine Jamz iHeartRadio Program was created to help faith-based recording artists show up where it truly matters, across major search engines and digital platforms. Podcasts aren’t just conversations anymore; they’re discovery tools. While many artists assume only the “top 100” podcasts move the needle, that’s not always how it works. Visibility often comes down to how well content is optimized and how clearly an artist’s story is communicated. Keywords, descriptions, and distribution strategy all play a role. A huge podcast without the right structure can get buried, while a properly optimized interview can quietly outperform expectations. That’s exactly where our blueprint comes in. We focus on helping Gospel artists build long-term digital presence, not just short-term hype. Think of it as planting seeds that keep producing fruit long after the interview airs.

Why the Devine Jamz iHeartRadio Program Is More Than a Podcast

When artists of faith align their music with God’s Word, something powerful happens. There’s an anointing that carries through their testimony, their sound, and their message. When those artists come together on our platform, it becomes more than media, it becomes ministry. Scripture says where two or three are gathered, God is in the midst, and that same spirit flows through these conversations. Each interview becomes a form of praise released into the airwaves. It’s a corporate gathering of believers, sharing what God has done and what He’s about to do. For many artists, that alone is reason enough to participate. For others, it’s the added benefit of reaching listeners who are already searching for uplifting, faith-filled content.

What We Listen for in Gospel Music Submissions

During consultations, I often remind artists that storytelling matters just as much as sound quality. When you explain the heart behind a song in a way that stirs emotion, the message hits deeper. Add video to the mix, and the impact multiplies. Viewers don’t just hear the music, they see your expressions, your passion, and your authenticity. That human connection builds trust fast. Video interviews engage multiple senses, and in marketing, that’s gold. Studies still show video outperforms most other formats, and we see it firsthand. While many podcasts offer interviews, Devine Jamz goes further. As a network, we work with affiliate media outlets and tech platforms to extend reach beyond the episode itself.

Behind the Scenes of the Devine Jamz iHeartRadio Program Process

Here’s how we handle broadcasting and promotion once an artist is approved:

• Episodes are distributed across Spotify, Apple Music, iHeartRadio, Amazon Music, YouTube, Radio.net, and more.

• Each interview is optimized with metadata, hashtags, descriptions, and keyword research. Some are supported by paid Google Ads.

• Radio programmers hear previews of new or upcoming releases, helping them decide on airplay.

• Episodes are shared through our carefully maintained email lists, segmented by genre, audience type, and media focus. No dusty, outdated lists here.

• Video interviews require Chrome or Microsoft Edge on desktop or tablet. Mobile users receive access through our free app.

There’s more to music promotion, of course, and we offer additional services for artists ready to scale.

How and Where to Submit Your Music

Submitting is simple, but quality matters. Artists apply through devinejamz.com under “iHeartRadio Gospel Music Interview.” Interviews focus on one single, even if it’s part of a larger EP or album. Songs must be professionally mixed and mastered, with strong vocals, production, and delivery. Upcoming releases should be submitted within 90 days of launch; released songs should be no older than six months. This helps us keep content fresh for radio partners and promoters actively seeking new music. While some interviews are included with paid packages, standalone interviews help cover studio and production costs. Many artists see it as a smart first step before investing elsewhere.

Wrapping It All Up

If you’re curious about the heart behind the music and the stories that shape it, I invite you to subscribe on Spotify or YouTube. You’ll hear authentic conversations from artists and guests who aren’t just releasing songs, they’re sharing truth, testimony, and purpose.
