  <link>https://blog.iheart.com/post/iheartpodcast-spotlight-soccer-moms-serves-friendship-family-and-fully-improvised-fun-and-more</link>
  <description>&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;With so much great content being made today, it can be hard to keep up on all the latest. Luckily, with the help of iHeartRadio’s Podcast Spotlight, you can find something new to listen to every week. Here’s some of the latest on our iHeartPodcasts, including new seasons and episodes:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-soccer-moms-328577271"&gt;Soccer Moms&lt;/a&gt;: Hop in the minivan because it’s time for soccer… kind of. “Soccer Moms” follows best friends Leanne and Janet — played by Second City Chicago alumni Katie Rich and Holly Laurent — as they turn the fictional world of suburban youth soccer into a hilarious improv playground every Tuesday. From tailgate tangents to over-the-top characters, the podcast dives into friendship, family life, and the chaotic comedy of everyday suburban life. Each episode features guest comedians stepping in as quirky coaches, outspoken relatives, or eccentric sideline personalities, creating unpredictable, laugh-out-loud scenes. With quick-witted dialogue and fully improvised moments, “Soccer Moms” captures the messy, lovable chaos of trying to keep it together, even when nothing goes as planned&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-the-black-mother-wound-po-89490562"&gt;The Black Mother Wound Podcast&lt;/a&gt;: Healing starts with telling the truth. Join Jennifer Arnise on Tuesdays in a space for Black women navigating the complicated, often painful relationships they have with their mothers and the lasting impact those relationships have on their lives. Each episode dives into honest, unfiltered conversations about generational patterns and how they shape boundaries, relationships, ambition, and self-identity. Confront what was passed down, what was normalized, and what no longer has to define life. Through candid storytelling and reflection, listeners are invited to stop minimizing their experiences, reconnect with their inner child, and build a life rooted in autonomy, safety, and self-trust.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-two-percent-with-michael-327186583"&gt;Two Percent with Michael Easter&lt;/a&gt;: New York Times bestselling author and journalist Michael Easter is breaking down the science behind mental toughness, fitness, ancient wisdom, and modern stress to share how to build resilience and agency in an increasingly comfortable world. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, Easter guides listeners through a deep dive into the science of living better by doing things the hard way. Whether he’s interviewing elite explorers and Harvard biologists or deconstructing the truth about longevity and metabolic health, this isn't a show for "biohacking" perfectionists. It’s a grounded, often humorous guide for real people to discover why the antidote to modern malaise is often found in the challenges we’ve been taught to avoid.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Check back next week for new podcasts, seasons, and episodes you won’t want to miss.

  <title>iHeartPodcast Spotlight: “Rorschach: Murder at City Hall” unpacks a fatal feud that shook New York City politics (and more)</title>
  <link>https://blog.iheart.com/post/iheartpodcast-spotlight-rorschach-murder-city-hall-unpacks-fatal-feud-shook-new-york-city</link>
  <description>&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;With so much great content being made today, it can be hard to keep up on all the latest. Luckily, with the help of iHeartRadio’s Podcast Spotlight, you can find something new to listen to every week. Here’s some of the latest on our iHeartPodcasts, including new seasons and episodes:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-rorschach-murder-at-city-325726473/"&gt;Rorschach: Murder at City Hall&lt;/a&gt;: In July of 2003, Brooklyn City Councilman James E. Davis walked into City Hall with an unexpected guest: his political opponent, Niel Askew. Both men were sharply dressed, composed, and — unbeknownst to those around them — carrying concealed weapons. Askew had been running against David in an upcoming election, but rumors swirled that a deal had been struck for him to step aside. Less than 30 minutes later, both men would be dead. In the immediate aftermath, there was a desire to tell a simple story with a clear hero and a villain. But that version of events glossed over the complexities of the men, their relationship, and the nature of the crime itself. Join host Jamal Jordan on Wednesdays to explore the moral grey areas, to center stories around people of color, and grapple with everything from mental health and gun violence, to sexuality in public life.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-against-all-odds-with-yri-327129588/"&gt;Against All Odds with Yris Palmer&lt;/a&gt;: What does it take to rewrite your story when the odds are stacked against you? Entrepreneur and investor Yris Palmer draws on her journey as the child of immigrant parents to explore what it really takes to turn struggle into strength. Every Tuesday she sits down with entrepreneurs, creatives, and change-makers to have raw, inspiring conversations about the resilience, grit, and mindset of those who built success on their own terms. If you’ve ever felt like the underdog, this podcast is your proof that the impossible is within reach.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-mostly-human-with-laurie-53095782"&gt;Mostly Human with Laurie Segall&lt;/a&gt;: From AI companions that know us better than we know ourselves to deepfake tools that can rewrite reality to mind-blowing medical breakthroughs, “Mostly Human” ventures into technology's darkest corners and its most extraordinary possibilities. Tech moves fast, but journalist Laurie Segall is your guide to what’s coming next and how it may impact your life. Listen in on Thursdays as she asks expert guests questions like, “Do you think it’s okay for people to get therapy using ChatGPT?” and “What do you see most from parents and children when it comes to their concerns about technology?” Keep your finger on the pulse of tech every week because the future isn't coming – it's already here.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Check back next week for new podcasts, seasons, and episodes you won’t want to miss. And if you still want more podcasts, click over to &lt;a href="https://news.iheart.com/charts/podcasts-top-100/2026-03-24-march-24-2026/"&gt;iHeart’s Podcast Top 100&lt;/a&gt; to stay up-to-date with the most popular and trending shows!&lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;With so much great content being made today, it can be hard to keep up on all the latest. Luckily, with the help of iHeartRadio’s Podcast Spotlight, you can find something new to listen to every week. Here’s some of the latest on our iHeartPodcasts, including new seasons and episodes:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-clyde-confidential-326445309/"&gt;Clyde Confidential&lt;/a&gt;: Hollywood doesn’t run on red carpets; it runs on assistants. Behind all the glitz and glam, someone is booking a car, confirming the call time, and packing snacks to be sure your favorite movies, shows, and events run smoothly. Join Meghan Grimm, founder of the elite entertainment staffing agency Clyde, every Thursday as she pulls back the curtain on Tinseltown’s most defining and sometimes mortifying early career moments. She brings together the movers and shakers of the industry: clients, creators, and ex-assistants turned power players to dish on the real stories from their career journeys and biggest lessons that came out of them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-dos-amigos-258774901/"&gt;Dos Amigos&lt;/a&gt;: Pop a bottle and raise a glass because actors Wilmer Valderrama and Freddy Rodriguez are getting candid about their careers and personal lives in their party-ready podcast straight from Wilmer’s speakeasy. Every Thursday, the guys dive into conversations covering everything from fatherhood and mental health to favorite films and mixed drinks. With friends like Terry Crews and Angela Johnson stopping by to chat in season one, season two is primed to keep the party going with bigger guests, bolder stories, and even more to toast to.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-criminal-broads-30847713/"&gt;Criminal Broads&lt;/a&gt;: Fifty years ago, a scholarly article included the observation that “well-behaved women seldom make history.” Tori Telfer, author of “Lady Killers: Deadly Women Throughout History,” brings that notion to life in this true-crime podcast, sharing the wild, criminally clever women who ended up on the wrong side of the law. Tune in on Thursdays to hear tales of gals who stirred up some trouble, whether for leading a cult, serially murdering their husbands, swindling billionaires, or faking ectoplasm.&lt;/p&gt;

The new podcast "Sound, Light &amp;amp; Frequency" -- with new episodes every Thursday -- tackles that mind-blowing question through an ongoing investigation hosted by two Hollywood insiders: Bryce Zabel and Brent Friedman, both successful writer/producers with hundreds of credits. Bryce and Brent publicly share, for the first time, the full account of their surreal encounter with a “Man in Black” who offered them a deal to use their primetime alien-invasion drama series, Dark Skies, to spread UFO truths. Each episode takes listeners behind the scenes of iconic films and TV series, connecting what’s been portrayed on screen to what might be happening in real life -- and asking whether other creators were offered “the deal,” too.&lt;/p&gt;

She was a serial killer whose target was not just the youngest, most vulnerable human beings alive, but also those entrusted to her care. But is everything as clear as it seems?

Luckily, with the help of iHeartRadio’s Podcast Spotlight, you can find something new to listen to every week. Here’s some of the latest on our iHeartPodcasts, including new seasons and episodes:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-by-order-of-the-faithfuls-288839198/"&gt;By Order of The Faithfuls&lt;/a&gt;: Can’t stop talking about “The Traitors?” You’ve come to the right Round Table.

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-burden-of-guilt-125035763/"&gt;Burden of Guilt Season Two:&lt;/a&gt; In 1999, 18-year-old bartender Bobby Gumpright told police he was held at gunpoint by a man in New Orleans. He identified 20-year-old Jermaine Hudson as the perpetrator, and Hudson was sentenced to 99 years in prison. But Gumpright’s performance as the star witness in Hudson’s trial was a lie. For 22 years, only two people knew the truth…until a confession changed everything. Season two of “Burden of Guilt” explores the harsh realities of Jim Crow-era Louisiana that helped seal Hudson’s fate — and the unlikely friendship that has grown between the two men since Gumpright came forward with the truth. Tune into new episodes every Wednesday as host Nancy Glass examines that lie, its consequences, and the unlikely journey it took to undo it.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>iHeartRadio’s Thank a Teacher, Powered by DonorsChoose</title>
  <link>https://blog.iheart.com/post/iheartradios-thank-teacher-powered-donorschoose</link>
  <description>&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By DonorsChoose&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;60,000 teachers, 850 radio stations, $50,000 in gift cards, and 10 final winners: iHeartRadio and DonorsChoose teamed up to thank teachers in a big way, and now the second wave of winners are here!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;For more than a decade, iHeartRadio has partnered with DonorsChoose, an education nonprofit that empowers U.S. public school educators to request the classroom supplies they need to educate their students. In July 2025, they launched the Thank a Teacher contest, reaching over 160 radio markets to ask listeners to nominate their favorite teacher for a chance to be celebrated on-air and transform their classrooms with a $5,000 DonorsChoose gift card.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;"iHeartRadio's Thank a Teacher is making sure that educators feel appreciated for going the extra mile," said Alix Guerrier, CEO of DonorsChoose, at the partnership launch, "especially as they work hard to get students what they need to kick off a new school year."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;"iHeartRadio's Thank a Teacher aims to shine a light on the quiet and positive work happening in classrooms across the country and to offer a very public thank you to the teachers who are doing so much,” said Jon Zellner, President of Programming Operations and Digital Music for iHeartMedia.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Over the course of the 2025-26 school year, more than 60,000 teachers were nominated across all 50 states. iHeartMedia donated $500,000 worth of public service announcements to highlight the mission of DonorsChoose, encouraging listeners to directly invest in the success of their local public schools through &lt;a href="http://www.donorschoose.org"&gt;www.DonorsChoose.org&lt;/a&gt;. In September, DonorsChoose randomly selected the first 5 winners to each win $5,000 DonorsChoose gift cards. Now, in February 2026, the last 5 winners are here, and we can't wait to introduce you to them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Keep up the support for teachers! &lt;a href="http://iheartradio.com/teachers"&gt;Use&lt;/a&gt; promo code THANKATEACHER and find a local teacher to support – and DonorsChoose will double your donation!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;September 2025 Winners&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Robert Brightbill&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;"Mr. Brightbill is extremely knowledgeable in his field. Not only does he share his knowledge with his students, but he also instills giving and compassion in his students, teaching them to give back and pay it forward. He is very active at the school as well as in the community. He has the knowledge, skills, and compassion. He's just a great man and very deserving individual."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;"Ms. Burke is amazing. She is always willing to help anyone and teaches students at their pace to ensure they understand the lesson. She volunteers to tutor students after school who need additional help – free of charge. She also attends the monthly School Advisory Council and PTO meetings to stay involved and provide her opinion from the teacher point of view."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;"Ms. Karczewski recently moved to Southeast Career Technical Academy from Bob Miller Middle School. She is an exceptional science teacher who truly loves sharing her passion for science with her students. She has been a Science Olympiad coach for many years and mentored students who have achieved multiple awards for the Science Olympiad state competition in Nevada.

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;"Mrs. Yonts loves all of her students. She makes every effort to ensure all of her students reach their full potential. Most importantly, she runs her classroom with love, respect and discipline. Because of this, her students perform really well. Parents love her.

  <title>iHeartPodcast Spotlight: DJ Hesta Prynn gets vulnerable; “Boysober” takes a hard look at all things love (and more) </title>
  <link>https://blog.iheart.com/post/iheartpodcast-spotlight-dj-hesta-prynn-gets-vulnerable-boysober-takes-hard-look-all-things</link>
  <description>&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;With so much great content being made today, it can be hard to keep up on all the latest. Luckily, with the help of iHeartRadio’s Podcast Spotlight, you can find something new to listen to every week. Here’s the latest on our iHeartPodcasts, including new seasons and episodes:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-dj-hesta-prynns-music-is-314213684/episode/why-do-we-fight-so-much-with-randy-scott-slavin-321348465"&gt;DJ Hesta Prynn's Music Is Therapy&lt;/a&gt;: Love is in the air this February, and DJ Hesta Prynn is putting it under a microscope. In a strikingly intimate episode of “Music Is Therapy,” she does something unprecedented: interviews her own husband, filmmaker Randy Scott Slavin, for a raw discussion on tape. What starts as a sweet story about how they met through music turns into something deeper — and more uncomfortable. They fight all the time. She doesn’t know why. And when she finally asks the hard questions — Why do we fight so much? What are we building? Do you still want to choose this? — the answers crack something open. This conversation is messy, vulnerable, and uncomfortably real. It’s a reminder that loving someone and knowing how to build a life with them are two different things — and that sometimes you have to admit you forgot to dream together. If you’ve ever had a fight in the car on the way to a rave, this episode is for you.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-boysober-275801364"&gt;Boysober&lt;/a&gt;: From situationships to storybook endings, “Boysober” is taking a deeper look at what love and attraction really entail throughout February. Whether you’re in a relationship, casually dating, or proudly single, this month is about reflection, desire, and the stories we tell ourselves about romance. Join host Hope Woodard every Wednesday as she unpacks everything from cheating and affairs to the rise of romance novels, real-life meet-cutes, and the psychology of limerence. Love isn’t always simple, but understanding it can change everything.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-high-strange-110759575"&gt;High Strange Season 2&lt;/a&gt;: Master of chills and edge-of-your-seat suspense Payne Lindsey is back, and he’s turning his focus to UFOs. From the creators of “Up and Vanished” and “Radio Rental” comes a new season of “High Strange.” Lindsey shines a light on real-life coverups and infamous cases, all while leaving the tinfoil hat at the door. In the last few years, dozens of Navy pilots have come forward with compelling video evidence of objects in the sky that defy our current understanding of physics. The Pentagon has since confirmed the authenticity of these accounts, while admitting the objects remain unexplained. Can we finally have a healthy conversation about the possibility of intelligent life beyond our planet? With a refreshing approach to the topic, Lindsey aims to separate fact from fiction when it comes to the strange happenings way up high. With new episodes dropping every Friday, one question looms large…do you want to believe?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Check back next week for new podcasts, seasons, and episodes you won’t want to miss. And if you still want more podcasts, click over to &lt;a href="https://news.iheart.com/charts/podcasts-top-100/2026-02-10-february-10-2026/"&gt;iHeart’s Podcast Top 100&lt;/a&gt; to stay up-to-date with the most popular and trending shows!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-welcome-to-el-barrio-319436219"&gt;Welcome to El Barrio&lt;/a&gt;: What does it mean to be Puerto Rican today?

Tune in every Tuesday for laugh-out-loud interviews and the stories the textbooks left out.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-two-faced-john-of-god-318366557"&gt;Two-Faced: John of God&lt;/a&gt;: To thousands of people around the world, João Teixeira de Faria was known as John of God, a traditional Brazilian spiritual healer famous for performing miraculous medical procedures without anesthesia. But in 2018, it became clear that John of God was keeping a dark secret that would ultimately lead to his downfall. Listen on Wednesdays for a gripping look at a guru who built a holy empire, the criminal activity that made it possible and the powerful network of believers who protect him even to this day. You can also find this show en español wherever you get your podcasts.

  <title> iHeartPodcast Spotlight: "Betrayal" Returns; Cari Champion &amp; Jemele Hill Team Up (and more)</title>
  <link>https://blog.iheart.com/post/iheartpodcast-spotlight-betrayal-returns-cari-champion-jemele-hill-team-and-more</link>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With so much great content being made today, it can be hard to keep up on all the latest. Luckily, with the help of iHeartRadio’s Podcast Spotlight, you can find something new to listen to every week. Here’s the latest on our iHeartPodcasts, including new seasons and episodes:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-betrayal-season-5-95632727?"&gt;Betrayal Season 5&lt;/a&gt;: The newest season of the hit True Crime podcast dives into Saskia Inwood’s story and the husband she knew in the light of day who was a different person after dark. Follow along as this season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life, her fight to bring him to justice and the myth of the “perfect victim”: who gets believed, who gets doubted and why. New episodes will drop Thursdays, and all four gripping seasons of Betrayal are streaming now.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-flagrant-and-funny-with-c-318328019"&gt;Flagrant and Funny with Cari Champion and Jemele Hill&lt;/a&gt;: Former ESPN hosts and best friends Cari Champion and Jemele Hill debate the buzziest topics of the day in women’s sports, culture and beyond, three days a week. A home for all the drama behind the headlines, this show comes with no filters and lots of laughs. Tune in Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-mind-games-316990736/about"&gt;Mind Games&lt;/a&gt;: What if you could hypnotize yourself into a better you? Or hypnotize others into giving you anything you want? That’s the promise of NLP, which emerged in 1970s California before taking over the self-help industry – despite its connection to a gruesome, unsolved 1980s murder. NLP is the secret sauce connecting life coach Tony Robbins, Wolf of Wall Street Jordan Belfort, pick-up artist Ross Jeffries, and even NXIVM, the most infamous sex cult of the 21st century. Journalists and best friends Zoë Lescaze and Alice Hines investigate the controversies behind NLP, put the techniques to the test on themselves, and ask the ultimate question: Is mind control real? Mind Games dives into NLP’s crazy cast of disciples, including the fake doctor who invented it at a New Age commune and whose gruesome murder trial did little to stop its rise. The biggest mind game of all? NLP may actually work. Tune in every Tuesday.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Check back next week for new podcasts, seasons and episodes you won’t want to miss.

Luckily, with the help of iHeartRadio’s Podcast Spotlight, you can find something new to listen to every week. Here’s the latest on our iHeartPodcasts, including new seasons and episodes:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom:11px"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-two-guys-five-rings-matt-183023550/about"&gt;Two Guys, Five Rings: Matt, Bowen &amp;amp; The Olympics&lt;/a&gt;: Two guys (Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers), five rings (you know, from the Olympics logo), one essential podcast for the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics. The “&lt;a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-las-culturistas-with-matt-31090140"&gt;Las Culturistas&lt;/a&gt;” hosts are back for a second season of “Two Guys, Five Rings” – and this time, they’re going to the Games!

He married an ex-lesbian, had three children and became the poster boy for “conversion therapy” for over 15 years, traveling across the world to preach the idea you can “pray away the gay.” John Paulk was living proof that they could change, that God would love them, and that they could live a “normal” heterosexual life – but John was living a lie: he was still gay. Now, he’s ready to tell his story in iHeartPodcasts’ new series “Atonement: The John Paulk Story.” Tune in Tuesdays.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Live at CES 2026: iHeartMedia News Roundup</title>
  <link>https://blog.iheart.com/post/live-ces-2026-iheartmedia-news-roundup</link>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;It’s officially 2026 and you know what that means – we’re kicking off another year of new iHeartRadio product integrations at CES, the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We can’t wait to bring you more innovation in 2026, but until then, get caught up on our new integrations announced at CES below and enjoy even more ways to connect to all your favorite music, live radio stations and podcasts!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Google Gemini:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;iHeart and Google are partnering on a new integration combining the power of Gemini, Google’s AI assistant, with iHeart’s industry-leading catalog. In early 2026, users of Gemini will be able to discover, play and enjoy music and podcasts from iHeartRadio with simple commands like, “Play &lt;a href="https://www.iheart.com/artist/sabrina-carpenter-553828"&gt;Sabrina Carpenter&lt;/a&gt; on iHeart,” or, “Play ‘&lt;a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-las-culturistas-with-matt-31090140"&gt;Las Culturistas&lt;/a&gt;’ podcast on iHeart.” The integration will be available on Android and iOS via the Gemini app, and on &lt;a href="https://gemini.google.com/"&gt;Gemini’s website&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;iFIT:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In an expanded collaboration with iFIT, a global leader in fitness technology, users will be able to access their favorite live radio stations, playlists and podcasts instantly as the iHeartRadio app will come preloaded with no download necessary on iFIT devices early this year including on NordicTrack bikes, treadmills and more fitness machines. To celebrate, iHeartRadio stations nationwide will be giving away NordicTrack equipment in January 2026.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In addition to the seamless product integration, &lt;a href="https://trainergames.com/partners/iheart-radio"&gt;iHeart will serve as the official music sponsor of iFIT’s “Trainer Games,”&lt;/a&gt; an exciting new reality competition series where 10 elite athletes compete in intense physical and mental challenges to win a $250K iFIT contract and become an iFIT trainer. “&lt;a href="https://trainergames.com/"&gt;Trainer Games&lt;/a&gt;” is hosted by fitness influencer and talk show host Amanda Kloots and premieres on Amazon Prime on January 9, 2026. iHeart listeners can now tune in to the show’s official playlist featuring tracks that fueled this season’s competitors: &lt;a href="as" www.iheart.com playlist&gt;iFIT’s Trainer Games Season 1 Official Playlist&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TiVo OS:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In an exciting expansion of the existing content partnership, TiVo and iHeart announced the integration of iHeartRadio with TiVo OS – an operating system that powers smart TV manufacturers like Sharp, Panasonic and more. Users can access all of iHeartRadio’s features now on TiVo OS devices. CES attendees can experience the TiVo media platform in action on the showroom floor in the West Hall, Booth 4041 (Xperi booth).&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Podcast Spotlight: Looking for a New Show to Listen To? Here’s What’s New in Podcasts This Week!</title>
  <link>https://blog.iheart.com/post/podcast-spotlight-looking-new-show-listen-heres-whats-new-podcasts-week-261</link>
  <description>&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;With so much great content being made today, it can be hard to keep up on all the latest. Luckily, with the help of iHeartRadio’s Podcast Spotlight, you can find something new to listen to every week. Here’s the latest on our iHeartPodcasts, including new seasons and episodes:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Fans of the award-winning “Questlove Supreme” podcast can get an extra dose of Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson with his new show dropping every Wednesday. “&lt;a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-the-questlove-show-53194211"&gt;The Questlove Show&lt;/a&gt;” brings listeners into intimate, one-on-one conversations with peers, influences, and friends like Malcolm Gladwell and Chelsea Handler. Each episode uncovers the unexpected — from morning rituals and hidden talents to the art and experiences that shaped a guest’s journey. “QLS” offers rare insight into leaders in music, film, television, comedy, literature, mental health, and beyond. It’s a fresh, unpredictable spin from a trusted source.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Need a new and unique true crime story? Look no further than the twisted familial tale “&lt;a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-the-brothers-ortiz-308942436"&gt;The Brothers Ortiz&lt;/a&gt;.” Just south of Houston in a town along the Gulf Coast, brothers Gabe and Larry Ortiz shared a normal childhood under the roof of a small bungalow. But the paths they took into adulthood could not have diverged more. As Gabe rose through the ranks of Texas law enforcement to become the state’s third-highest-ranking officer, Larry became deeply involved with Puro Tango Blast, a notorious prison gang. Despite the stark contrast of their lives, the men maintained a careful bond. Gabe deliberately avoided the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings until Larry’s murder forced him to look deeper into what led to a fatal night in January 2023. Catch new episodes from host Sean Flynn every Wednesday.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;As Director of The Men’s Clinic at UCLA, Dr. Jesse Mills has spent his career helping men understand their bodies, their hormones, and their health. Now he’s bringing that expertise to “&lt;a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-the-male-room-with-dr-jes-306117711"&gt;The Male Room&lt;/a&gt;,” a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each Tuesday, Dr. Mills brings his real-world ER experience to break down the latest health headlines and explain what actually works (and what doesn’t). Smart, straightforward, and entertaining, The Male Room is the show that helps men take charge of their health – no jargon needed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Check back next week for new podcasts, seasons and episodes you won’t want to miss. And if you still want more podcasts, click over to &lt;a href="https://news.iheart.com/charts/podcasts-top-100/2025-12-02-december-2-2025/"&gt;iHeart’s Podcast Top 100&lt;/a&gt; to stay up-to-date with the most popular and trending shows!&lt;/p&gt;

But the story reaches far beyond a single clinic. The series exposes the cracks in a fertility industry built on hope, high price tags and minimal oversight. What Happened in Nashville isn’t just the story of one tragedy — it’s a warning about a system where families have everything at stake and far too little protection. Tune in Tuesdays.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-sacred-lessons-with-mike-304426528"&gt;Sacred Lessons with Mike de la Rocha&lt;/a&gt;: This show&amp;nbsp;redefines what it means to be a man. Hosted by best-selling author and artist Mike de la Rocha, each episode explores masculinity, healing and purpose through raw and honest conversations with men from all walks of life. In a culture that teaches men to stay silent, Sacred Lessons creates a brave space where true strength begins with vulnerability. Whether you’re on a journey of self-discovery, healing generational wounds, or seeking deeper connection, this podcast invites you to reconnect with your purpose and rediscover the power of love and community.

&lt;p&gt;From the underground clubs that birthed music that took over the world, to the hustlers who made the city a mecca for filmmaking, and the churches whose pastors influence politics, “&lt;a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-atlanta-is-303488876/"&gt;Atlanta Is…&lt;/a&gt;” tells the stories behind the rise of one of the most important cities on the planet.

Now, the infamous killer's face has finally been revealed. Join filmmaker Josh Zeman on Mondays as he investigates the harrowing story of the Long Island Serial Killer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When Niko Quinn saw her favourite cousin murdered in broad daylight, her life turned upside down. She went looking for justice, but instead uncovered a dark scandal at the heart of her community: A police detective had spent decades targeting, threatening and sexually abusing black women across Kansas City Kansas. Detective Roger Golubski used the power of his badge to launch a reign of terror – until Niko, and an incredible group of women, came together to take him down.

  <title>See What You Hear on iHeart! The iHeartRadio App Introduces iHeartRadio Highlights Powered by Genuin</title>
  <link>https://blog.iheart.com/post/see-what-you-hear-iheart-iheartradio-app-introduces-iheartradio-highlights-powered-genuin</link>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;Ever wish you could see the moments behind the voices you love? Now you can! We are excited to launch &lt;strong&gt;iHeartRadio Highlights&lt;/strong&gt;, a new feature powered by Genuin. iHeartRadio Highlights brings your favorite radio shows and podcasts to life with short, snackable videos—right inside the iHeartRadio app.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With iHeartRadio Highlights watch the reactions, laughs, and behind-the-scenes moments from the shows, hosts and personalities you can’t get enough of. The new video feature is built to enhance the special connection you have with your favorite audio personalities, extending everyday listening into an even more interactive, shareable experience.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With iHeartRadio Highlights you can:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Discover&lt;/strong&gt; curated short-form videos from top shows and podcasts.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Share&lt;/strong&gt; highlights instantly with friends and family.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Engage&lt;/strong&gt; with content in a fresh, dynamic way—bringing audio to life.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The rollout includes clips from some of the most popular shows including “&lt;a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/51-the-breakfast-club-24992238"&gt;The Breakfast Club&lt;/a&gt;,” “&lt;a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1014-elvis-duran-and-the-morni-26935920"&gt;Elvis Duran and The Morning Show&lt;/a&gt;,” “&lt;a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-the-bobby-bones-show-25100459"&gt;The Bobby Bones Show&lt;/a&gt;,” “&lt;a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-las-culturistas-with-matt-31090140/"&gt;Las Culturistas&lt;/a&gt;,” “&lt;a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-are-you-a-charlotte-247668155"&gt;Are You A Charlotte?&lt;/a&gt;” and more.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This new feature comes just under a year after iHeart unveiled the new, next-generation iHeartRadio app, complete with industry-first mobile features and access to exclusive content. The redesign is directly based on listener feedback and embraces the ease and simplicity that listeners want and expect with broadcast radio in the car — bridging the gap between the traditional car radio experience and mobile streaming.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;iHeartRadio Highlights is powered by &lt;a href="https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbegenuin.com%2F&amp;amp;data=05%7C02%7CAleRussian%40iheartmedia.com%7Cb992abe5009b450535ac08de23dd996e%7C122a527e5b714eba878d9810b495b9e3%7C0%7C0%7C638987631849367661%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;amp;sdata=RV%2B6KaRL%2BjTLO9ug5fRuomT43R21%2F%2BGT8I%2Fc3M%2FARGA%3D&amp;amp;reserved=0"&gt;Genuin&lt;/a&gt; -- a first of its kind generative video experience infrastructure for brands to embed social-style video and community engagement into their own websites and apps.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ready to dive in? Just open the iHeartRadio app and search for &lt;strong&gt;Highlights&lt;/strong&gt; to explore a growing collection of video moments from the shows and stations you love.&lt;/p&gt;
