Former Today FM host Duncan Garner is set to launch a new podcast with MediaWorks.
Garner’s role on Today FM as a morning host ended abruptly in March when the MediaWorks board decided to shut the station down.
“This is betrayal,” Garner said at the time as he and Tova O’Brien were pulled off-air.
A group of sacked Today FM employees are now planning legal action against MediaWorks.

When Today FM was shut down, the news team was placed “under review” with indefinite details around when or how that review would occur.
When asked in April if MediaWorks were aware of any legal proceedings, a spokesperson said “it is not MediaWorks practice to comment on employment matters”.
The new podcast would be called Duncan Garner, Editor in Chief.
