Intern John, the voice behind the @internjohnradio handle, sent fans into a frenzy this week when he shared a behind-the-scenes snap with country sensation Megan Moroney. Accompanied by the caption “mixtape with @megmoroney dropping soon #meganmoroney,” the pair looked every bit the collaborators they’re set to become. The two images show John and Moroney side by side in a studio setting, beaming at a vintage microphone as they prepare to blend radio flair with chart-topping country-pop.
From Radio To The Studio
John’s Instagram announcement marks a new chapter for the New York–based host, who’s built his reputation on airwaves and social feeds. Earlier this year, he hinted at musical ambitions of his own: in an April post, John previewed a “new country album: euro piece of my heart,” complete with travel hashtags that underscored his passion for blending styles. That teaser earned thousands of likes and comments, signaling an appetite among his followers for original tunes.
Who Is Intern John?
Before today’s mixtape news, John made waves in the radio world as an on-air personality with a knack for discovering fresh talent. He’s guested on Capital FM’s Breakfast show in London—thanking hosts Jordan North, Chris Stark and Sian Welby for their support—and shared candid travel logs from cities around the globe. On Instagram alone, his posts range from behind-the-mic selfies to shout-outs for charitable causes, like his recent feature on a Warrior Canine Connection fundraiser. Through it all, John has cultivated a community that trusts his taste and tunes.
Meet Megan Moroney
Megan Moroney broke through in early 2023 with her viral hit “Tennessee Orange,” a track that surged up the country charts and introduced her sharp lyricism to a broad audience. Signed to Columbia Nashville, Moroney released her debut album, “Lucky,” in September 2023, earning praise for its blend of classic country storytelling and pop-leaning hooks. Known for candid songwriting and a down-to-earth presence, she’s quickly become one of Nashville’s most talked-about new voices.
Why This Collaboration Matters
A mixtape isn’t the usual playground for mainstream country stars, which makes John and Moroney’s project all the more intriguing. By teaming a radio insider with a rising Nashville talent, the duo could bridge the gap between traditional country fans and a younger, digitally savvy audience. Early reactions on social media have been overwhelmingly positive—one commenter wrote simply, “Can’t wait for this drop 🔥,” while another added, “Unexpected but exactly what we need right now.”
What’s Next
John’s post offered no concrete release date beyond “dropping soon,” but insiders say recording sessions wrapped just last week. Fans are watching both @internjohnradio and Moroney’s official channels for updates on track titles, guest features and potential tour appearances. Industry sources speculate the mixtape could preview at select festivals or pop-up showcases ahead of a wider launch.
With John’s history of radio savvy and Moroney’s knack for chart-ready songwriting, this mixtape could redefine how country-pop collaborations unfold in the streaming era. Whatever the final tracklist looks like, expect plenty of Instagram teasers, surprise venue takeovers and, above all, a fresh batch of tunes designed to unite listeners across airwaves and playlists.
The shared studio shots may be the only visuals fans have for now, but the buzz they’ve generated suggests the countdown to this mixtape is already underway—and expectations have never been higher.
