The Ag Communicators Network hit the button to initiate the relaunch of its ag media podcast earlier this month!
Welcome to ACN’s “Above the Fold” Podcast, where our hosts and special guests will discuss ideas, stories, and trends making headlines in the ag media community—and beyond.
“Above the Fold with the Ag Communicators Network” was one of the dozens of titles submitted through our “Name the Podcast” Contest. ACN Member Kelsey Litchfield came up with the winning title.

This is not the first time the duo has worked together. Spangler and Litchfield launched the ACN Podcast in February 2019 and co-hosted episodes through December 2019. After a brief hiatus ACN Member Katie Navarra took over as host until December 2021.
Litchfield and Spangler look forward to sharing trending ag media ideas, stories, and headlines, plus engaging dedicated ACN podcast followers and new listeners with their comradery and banter.
“Every project needs a re-fresh now and then and that’s what we’re giving the ACN podcast – a fresh name, format, and hosts,” Spangler said. “I’m excited to be back in the saddle with Kelsey again and with some new ideas. I love having deep conversations with wise people so, I’m looking forward to all our upcoming series.”
“Podcasting opens the door to new perspectives, and I want this podcast to be an exchange of conversations and ideas that inspire our audience into action,” Litchfield stated. “I look forward to co-hosting alongside Holly and bringing you the latest headlines and stories “Above the Fold!”

In addition to the new name and co-hosts, Wyffels has joined the team as our new podcast sponsor.
“Above the Fold” now airs twice a month—on the first and third Fridays of each month. Those details will be the finishing touches to an already successful and now-newly branded podcast.
“We are excited to rebrand and launch our latest podcast,” ACN President Mindy Ward stated. “This is one way members can hear from seasoned ag communicators about ag news and professional development topics. It will be both entertaining and educational! This is one podcast you’ll want to download.”
“Above the Fold with The Ag Communicators Network” can be found on the Podbean, Spotify, and Apple/iTunes apps. Each episode will also be uploaded to the ACN website.
