iHeartMedia — Tue, 11/03/2026 - 07:00

Hosted by gender justice attorney, activist and queer ex-Mormon Kate Kelly, the 8-episode series investigates the history and ongoing impact of conversion therapy in Utah

WHAT: Acast Productions, an award winning creative podcast studio, and iHeartPodcasts, the No.1 podcast publisher globally according to Podtrac, today announced the season two debut of its limited audio documentary series, "Camp Shame.”

This season will trace the rise, fall and shifting identity of conversion therapy in a state uniquely positioned in the crosshairs of this practice: Utah. It will tell the stories of Mormons who’ve undergone conversion therapy, the cultural climate that helped conversion programs thrive, and the distance yet left to go as conversion therapy re-enters headlines nearly three decades after the first conversion therapy ban was passed in the U.S.

WHO: Hosted by activist, attorney, feminist and queer ex-Mormon, Kate Kelly will draw on her personal experiences within the Mormon Church and bring a unique perspective to the investigation. After founding Ordain Women in 2013 to advocate for gender equality within the Church, she was publicly excommunicated in 2014. Now an outspoken advocate for gender justice, Kelly examines the intersection of religion, identity, and institutional power, shedding light on the systems that enabled conversion therapy to continue for decades.

WHEN: Season 2 of “Camp Shame” is available now, with the first episode premiering today, November 3, 2026. New episodes will be released weekly on Thursdays.

WHERE: “Camp Shame” is published by iHeartPodcasts. New episodes will be available on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard. Listen now, HERE.

ABOUT KATE KELLY

Kate Kelly is a gender justice attorney and activist. She was raised Mormon, served a Mormon mission in Spain and graduated from Brigham Young University. In 2013 she founded a group called Ordain Women to call for gender equality in the Mormon Church, and for Mormon women to get the Priesthood. As a result of this unprecedented advocacy Kate was convicted of apostasy in a trial presided over by three male Mormon leaders. She was publicly excommunicated from the church in June 2014 for speaking out against the institutional oppression of women. After her excommunication Kate divorced her Mormon husband and came out as queer and now lives and works in New York City. Her work for gender equality continues unabated to this day.

iHeartRadio Introduces “Lite Mode”: A Simple, Fast Way For Users to Toggle Between Full-Function Mode and “Just Essential” Content

iHeartMedia — Thu, 10/29/2026 - 08:00

New functionality enables listeners to switch modes depending on their usage and needs at any given time

New York, NY — October 29, 2026 — iHeartRadio today announced the launch of “Lite Mode,” a new product feature for the iHeartRadio app designed to give users the ability to simply and quickly toggle back and forth between full-function mode and the ‘just essentials’ Lite Mode depending on their usage and needs at any time.

The Lite Mode toggle is located at the top of the homepage of the iHeartRadio mobile app. Available on both iOS and Android, Lite Mode offers a clean and intuitive interface that keeps users locked into their listening experience while enabling quick, seamless navigation between Presets, Recently Played, and Local Radio -- without ever leaving the screen.

“Radio is uniquely personal -- it’s about companionship. Our listeners sometimes want to browse and discover, and at other times they simply want to go directly to what they’re looking for. This new ability to toggle between full functionality and Lite Mode, which has just the essentials, gives them the opportunity to make every experience the right one for them,” said Conal Byrne, CEO of the iHeartMedia Digital Audio Group.

“We know that listeners have enormous loyalty to their favorite radio stations and personalities: The average radio listener listens to 2-3 radio stations in a month vs. watching 40 TV channels in a month,” said Tom Poleman, iHeartMedia Chief Programming Officer. "Lite Mode serves a real purpose when listeners are trying to quickly get to the shows and personalities they’re passionate about and aren’t looking to browse the entire service. We know that people use the iHeartRadio service at different times for different reasons, and the ability to seamlessly switch between those two functionalities serves that need.”

Key features of Lite Mode:

Focused Now Playing Experience – A simplified interface centered on the content currently playing
Quick Access Navigation – Easily switch between Presets, Recently Played, and Local Radio without changing screens
One-Tap Activation – Toggle Lite Mode on or off instantly from the top of the app
Designed for Speed & Clarity – Streamlined design for faster, more intuitive listening

Growing up, I never could have imagined where this journey would take me, and that’s what makes the stories behind success so powerful. With “Born to Become,” I’m excited to partner with TikTok and iHeartPodcasts to have honest, meaningful conversations that go beyond the headlines and explore the experiences that shape who we are.

Ethan Hawke Stars In The Serialized, Supernatural Podcast “Midnight Radio,” Created By Scott Derrickson And C. Robert Cargill

iHeartMedia — Tue, 10/13/2026 - 08:00

Additional cast includes Noah Centineo, Vincent D’Onofrio, Willa Fitzgerald, Levon Hawke, Austin Pendleton, Hubert Point-Du Jour and more

“Midnight Radio” is produced by Under The Influence Productions, Crooked Highway and iHeartPodcasts

NEW YORK AND LOS ANGELES – OCTOBER 13, 2026 – Five-time Academy Award®-nominee Ethan Hawke is set to star in a new, fantastical horror podcast, “Midnight Radio,” from the team behind SINISTER and THE BLACK PHONE franchise. The 9-episode series is created and co-written by Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill and produced by Under The Influence Productions, Crooked Highway and Mickey Schiff in collaboration with iHeartPodcasts. Hear a sneak peak of “Midnight Radio” now HERE.

Told in real-time through the framework of a cult-favorite late-night AM radio show, “Midnight Radio” will follow the titular show’s host (Hawke) whose eerie, conspiracy-themed call-in program takes a chilling turn. One night, he receives a call from a man claiming to be part of a secret U.S. space mission lost to history—just the first thread in a sprawling web of government cover-ups, interdimensional breaches and psychological warfare. As the broadcast unfolds, strange signals hidden in the radio static reveal themselves. With each episode building on the last, one question grows more urgent—who, or what, is really on the other end of the line? And what do they want?

Featuring a wide range of colorful call-in characters, the series will boast an incredible ensemble cast including Noah Centineo, Vincent D’Onofrio, Willa Fitzgerald, Levon Hawke, Austin Pendleton, Hubert Point-Du Jour and more.

“‘Midnight Radio’ is a labor of love, and an act of unfettered creativity,” shared Derrickson. “Ethan, Cargill and I decided to make this without any financial backing. Our aim was to make an eerie, complex and increasingly compelling narrative podcast with zero creative restrictions. ‘Midnight Radio’ has a purity to it –- it’s exactly what we wanted it to be. And now we're excited to be working with iHeart to bring it to listeners everywhere”

The first episode of “Midnight Radio” will be released October 22, 2026 and will be available on the iHeartRadio app and all major podcast platforms. New episodes will be released every succeeding Thursday at 12am PT / 3am ET.

“None of us had made a podcast before, so it was a blast to pour ourselves completely into a venture where we had total creative freedom,” said Hawke. “There’s an intimacy to the audio-only medium that can be really powerful, and in our case, used to a terrifying effect. Of course, it requires great writing… Fortunately, Scott Derrickson and Cargill are two of the best writers I’ve ever worked with.”

Ethan and Ryan Hawke's Under the Influence Productions is producing, with UTIP's Jimmy Bie leading for the company, alongside Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill's Crooked Highway and Mickey Schiff. The team is independently cofinancing the project. Vince Cheng, President of Production for Crooked Highway, is overseeing the release. The project is repped by CAA and WME. The series will be distributed by iHeartPodcasts.

Emma Klipstein’s Hit Podcast “too much.” Joins iHeartPodcasts

iHeartMedia — Tue, 10/13/2026 - 08:00

After independently launching and building the show from the ground up, the media personality and entrepreneur today brings “too much.” to iHeartPodcasts

NEW YORK – OCTOBER 13, 2026 – Media personality, entrepreneur and creator Emma Klipstein today announced that her hit podcast “too much.” has joined iHeartPodcasts, the No.1 podcast publisher globally according to Podtrac, marking a major milestone for a show she launched independently from the ground up in January 2025.

Following her departure from “Unhinged,” the podcast she had co-hosted since 2023, Klipstein made the decision to start over and build something entirely her own. Without a network, production company or team behind her, she launched “too much.” and became a one-woman operation — developing the concept, building the brand, booking guests, producing episodes and driving the social strategy that would ultimately grow the show into a breakout platform. Less than two years later, that independent bet landed “too much.” at iHeartPodcasts.

Emma's always been told she's too much and she's done apologizing for it. From NY to LA and back again, she's lived a thousand lives and if there's anything she's learned, it's to be unapologetically yourself. Every Tuesday, Emma will get raw and real about everything from f*ckups and breakups, thriving (and surviving) in your 20s and 30s to how to be the best version of yourself and so much more.

“There is something incredibly surreal about building this show from the ground up and now getting to say that ‘too much.’ is an iHeartPodcast,” said Klipstein. “When I started over in January 2025, there was no guarantee any of this was going to work. I just knew I had something to say and was willing to bet on myself enough to build it. To go from wearing every hat because I had to, to having the largest podcast network behind the show feels like proof that sometimes starting over isn’t actually starting from zero — it’s starting with everything you learned the first time.”

Known for her quick wit, brutal honesty, relatability and signature “unapologetic big sister advice,” Klipstein has built a devoted digital following of nearly 900,000, with her content garnering more than 250 million views in 18 months. On “too much.,” she blends humor, vulnerability and sharp cultural commentary to tackle modern dating, relationships, trauma, confidence, adult friendships and the realities of building a career and life on your own terms.

The partnership with iHeartPodcasts marks the next stage of “too much.” as Klipstein continues expanding the show and the larger media brand around it.

“For so much of my life, ‘too much’ was something I thought I needed to fix about myself,” Klipstein added. “This show turned it into the thing that built my career. The thing you’re being told to make smaller might actually be the thing you’re supposed to build bigger.”

“too much.” with Emma Klipstein is now distributed by iHeartPodcasts. New episodes are released weekly and are available on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard. Video episodes will be available on iHeart and YouTube.

About Emma Klipstein

Emma Klipstein is a media personality, entrepreneur, creator and host of the hit podcast Too Much. With a devoted digital following of nearly 900K and more than 200 million views in 18 months, she has become a rising voice in lifestyle, self-help and relationship media, known for her quick wit, brutal honesty and signature “unapologetic big sister advice.”

Her work has garnered coverage from more than 75 publications, and beginning in 2027, Emma will expand into true crime with a new podcast in partnership with PAVE Studios under its Crime House brand.

The longtime friends and co-stars bring nearly 40 years of chemistry to the mic for an episode-by-episode rewatch, plus candid conversations on entertainment, pop culture, sports and more

Bell. The series will premiere Thursday, October 15, with new episodes available every Thursday on the iHeartRadio app and wherever podcasts are heard.

Nearly four decades after becoming Dwayne Wayne and Ron Johnson on the groundbreaking sitcom “A Different World,” Hardison and Bell are back together and behind the mic. Each week, the pair will bring their nearly 40-year friendship and signature chemistry to conversations spanning entertainment, pop culture, sports and whatever else has their attention before heading back to Hillman. They’ll rewatch “A Different World” episode by episode, sharing behind-the-scenes stories, unpacking why the groundbreaking series continues to resonate nearly four decades later and welcoming familiar faces from the show along the way. They’ll also look ahead to the new Netflix sequel series, with conversations featuring members of both the original and new casts.

Debbie Allen will join Hardison and Bell as the podcast’s first guest, as the pair kicks off their rewatch with Season 2, Episode 2, Allen’s first episode with the series. Together, they’ll revisit how Allen came to “A Different World,” her early connection with Hardison and Bell and the transformation of the series under her leadership, while also looking ahead to the road that brought Hillman back for a new generation. Allen also serves as an executive producer on the Netflix sequel series, directs its premiere episode and appears as Dr. Langhorne.

“I am beyond excited to finally launch the ‘A Different World View with Darryl and Kadeem’ podcast,” said Bell. “Kadeem and I have only wanted to do this for over 25 years, and the time is now! I also could not be happier or think of better partners than Charlamagne Tha God, his team at The Black Effect and iHeartMedia.”

Kadeem Hardison and Darryl M. Bell are best known for their iconic roles as Dwayne Wayne and Ron Johnson Jr. on “A Different World.” Their careers have spanned film, television and production, with the pair first appearing together in Spike Lee’s “School Daze.” In recent years, they have reunited with their former castmates for the “A Different World” historically Black colleges and universities tour, celebrating the series’ lasting impact with a new generation of students.

iHeartPodcasts Announces “Basketball, Etc.,” a New Weekly Podcast Exploring the Stories, People and Culture Behind the Game

iHeartMedia — Tue, 09/29/2026 - 08:00

Hosted by basketball journalist Claire de Lune, the new series offers a fresh take on basketball storytelling, with a 30-episode debut season launching October 6

NEW YORK – September 29, 2026 – iHeartPodcasts, the No. 1 podcast publisher according to Podtrac, today announced “Basketball, Etc.,” a new weekly podcast hosted by established basketball journalist Claire de Lune. The series will blend long-form narrative storytelling with intimate conversations exploring the characters and cultural moments that make basketball more than a game. Produced by iHeartPodcasts in conjunction with Life Here Is Grand and School of Humans, “Basketball, Etc.” will launch October 6 with new episodes on Tuesdays.

Claire de Lune is a Los Angeles-based NBA writer, creator and lifelong musician known for blending informed basketball analysis with sharp wit, pop culture and human-centered storytelling. She currently serves as a national NBA writer for The Guardian, covering the league with a focus on the people and stories behind the game.

“I live and breathe basketball, and consume a ton of content about it,” said host and show creator Claire de Lune. “But I was really craving a show that dug into the kind of niche, interesting stories on the fringes of the sport, and did so with a level of nuance and empathy. When I realized that show didn’t really exist, I decided to make it myself.”

“‘Basketball, Etc.’ is for people like me, who love basketball, but don’t really find that the shouting-match debate shows or extensive breakdowns of player salaries and analytics are resonating with them,” continued de Lune. “I fell in love with sports because of the human stories at the center of them. Partnering with iHeartPodcasts gives me an opportunity to bring these stories and this different style of sports coverage to the masses, which I couldn’t be more excited for.”

The debut season will feature conversations and stories with guests including Flea, Nick Wright, Desus Nice, Kazeem Famuyide and Eve Peyser. Episodes will feature topics exploring the relationship between art, philosophy and the Los Angeles Lakers; LeBron James’ defining 23 moments in 23 years; the secret life of NBA mascots; the story of Lenny Cooke (featuring Carmelo Anthony); women’s professional basketball in the 1970s; the ups and downs of Knicks fandom; Connie Hawkins and basketball justice; and more.

The first episode, “Meditation & Mindfulness in Basketball,” uses a familiar sight on the court as a jumping off point: players pausing and centering themselves before taking a free throw. De Lune will examine how often professional basketball players practice meditation and mindfulness, both intentionally and unintentionally, and uncover surprising connections between these mental practices and performance on the court.

“Basketball, Etc.” offers a different take on the game, moving beyond the debate-driven coverage that often dominates sports media to explore the unexpected corners of basketball culture with depth, joy and curiosity," said Will Pearson, President of iHeartPodcasts. “It’s a show for longtime fans and anyone who loves great storytelling, and we’re excited to welcome Claire and ‘Basketball, Etc.’ to the iHeartPodcasts lineup.”

“Basketball, Etc.” is distributed by iHeartPodcasts and will be available on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard beginning October 6.

A lifelong musician and recording artist by trade who has long had a deep love for basketball, de Lune amassed a large and dedicated social media cult following and achieves regular virality with her signature brand of basketball commentary, which marries passionate and informed analysis, with cutting, sardonic wit, and throws in a healthy dose of memes & pop culture. De Lune currently works as a credentialed national NBA writer for The Guardian, covering the league at large, utilizing her lifetime of songwriting bonafides to tell stories with an emphasis on the human interest side of the sport.

iHeartMedia — Wed, 09/16/2026 - 08:00

Catalogue Expanding to include fan favorites Hey Jonas!, Joy 101 with Hoda Kotb, Pro Football Talk Live with Mike Florio, and Solved with Mark Manson, from hosting providers Flightcast, Triton Digital’s Omny, and Megaphone, and publishers including iHeartMedia, SiriusXM, Spotify

Video podcasts are now available to customers in the US, Canada, UK, Mexico, Brazil and Japan
across all subscription tiers

SEATTLE, WA—September 16, 2026—Today, Amazon Music announced new partnerships with several leading podcast hosting providers and publishers to grow its catalog of video podcasts. Amazon Music customers can now access shows hosted on ART19, Triton Digital’s Omny Studio and Flightcast, with additional hosting providers SiriusXM (inclusive of SiriusXM Media, AdsWizz and Simplecast), Megaphone, and Libsyn expected in the following months. These new partnerships will give Amazon Music customers access to podcasts available on video and audio from publishers iHeartMedia, SiriusXM, Spotify, NBC Sports, and Headgum, including popular shows such as Hey Jonas!, Joy 101 with Hoda Kotb, Pro Football Talk Live with Mike Florio, and Solved with Mark Manson. Amazon Music is also expanding video podcasts beyond the US to customers in Canada, the UK, Mexico, Brazil, and Japan.

Amazon Music now supports monetization for video podcasts as well, allowing creators to dynamically insert video ads into their shows while maintaining their existing brand sponsorships and baked-in ads. Publishers and creators will retain full control over their hosting, ad inventory, and audience targeting.

"Industry data confirms what our customers have been telling us — they want the flexibility to watch their favorite podcasts, in addition to listening. As video podcast consumption continues to grow, Amazon Music is building a destination for all-audio entertainment. By working with leading podcast publishers, we're bringing the top video podcast shows to customers across the US, Canada, UK, Mexico, Brazil, and Japan — spanning true crime, breaking news, celebrity interviews, and more. Just as importantly, we've built this in a way that lets creators keep full ownership of their hosting, ad inventory, and audience monetization,” said Shea Simpson, Head of Spoken Word for Amazon Music.

"Our strategy is simple: make the world's best creators and content available wherever consumers choose to listen, watch and engage. As podcasting continues to evolve, video has become a complementary extension of the audio experience. As the industry's leading audio platform, iHeart is focused on creating new opportunities for our talent and helping them build deeper connections with fans. This collaboration with Amazon Music expands the reach of our creators and programming, helps grow the podcast ecosystem, and creates new ways for audiences to discover and engage with the content they love," said Bob Pittman, Chairman and CEO of iHeartMedia.

“Video is fundamentally changing how podcasts are created, distributed, and discovered, and our job at Flightcast is to give creators and publishers the infrastructure they need to take advantage of that shift. When Amazon Music reached out about the upcoming video capabilities, we knew our creators would want to be there on day one. And now, hundreds of them will be. Amazon Music’s commitment to giving creators greater control over their ad inventory and brand relationships, while helping them reach new audiences around the world, aligns closely with how we’ve built Flightcast. This partnership gives the creators and networks using our platform another powerful way to expand their reach, grow their businesses and meet audiences wherever they choose to watch or listen,” said Rox Codes, Co-Founder and CEO at Flightcast.

With an expanded slate of video podcasts now available on Amazon Music, customers can now download episodes for offline viewing, giving them the flexibility to watch their favorite podcasts anytime, anywhere. Customers can discover featured video podcast recommendations, search for “video podcasts” or browse shows to find video podcasts, and seamlessly toggle between video and audio formats directly in the app. Video podcasts are available on iOS and Android to Amazon Music customers across all subscription tiers.
