The cult-favorite brand turns pizza deliveries into content gold as 52 episodes of its original celebrity-driven series joins two of the world's biggest platforms

Listen to “Delivering Happiness” now, HERE

NEW YORK — July 22, 2026 — TikTok and iHeartPodcasts, the No. 1 podcast publisher globally according to Podtrac, today announced that the original celebrity-driven series “Delivering Happiness” created by Lawrence Longo with Prince St. Pizza and hosted by actor Nick Turturro, is now available for the first time as a podcast joining the growing slate on the TikTok Podcast Network. Listen to “Delivering Happiness” HERE.

Born from the New York institution that turned pepperoni-loaded square slices into a cultural phenomenon, the feel-good series "Delivering Happiness" has built a loyal following by pairing celebrity guests with a surprisingly simple premise: real pizza deliveries and unscripted conversations, blending New York attitude and laughter with the universal power of sharing a slice.

Hosted by actor Nick Turturro, "Delivering Happiness" follows the longtime entertainer as he swaps movie sets for pizza routes, making real deliveries and stepping into candid conversations with celebrities, athletes and creators. The series was born after conversations between Turturro and Prince St. Pizza’s Chief Executive Officer, Lawrence Longo, about getting involved with the brand. Longo had one requirement: if Turturro wanted in, he had to deliver pizzas. The result is a show where no one knows exactly what will happen when the door opens.

Since its debut, the series has featured an eclectic lineup of guests including Spike Lee, Ice-T, Bill Burr, Dana White, Seth Rollins, Christina Milian and Alex Rodriguez. Equal parts pizza delivery, street-level talk show and cultural time capsule, "Delivering Happiness" captures the moments that happen when people least expect them.

Unlike traditional celebrity interview formats, "Delivering Happiness" centers on the moments between destinations. The talks that unfold naturally in cars, on front porches, inside neighborhood shops and anywhere else a delivery might lead. For Prince St., the show represents a natural extension of the brand's identity and a new way to engage audiences beyond the restaurant experience.

Founded in Manhattan’s Nolita neighborhood over a decade ago, Prince St. Pizza has become a national destination for its crave-worthy square pies, now served at more than 19 locations across the U.S. The full collection of episodes is available online, with episodes continuing to spotlight the personalities, humor and human connections that emerge from the simple act of delivering pizza.

"We're building the TikTok Podcast Network around voices and formats that feel original and culturally relevant, and Delivering Happiness is a great example of that," said Dan Page, Global Head of Global Media and Licensing Partnerships at TikTok. "Nick Turturro and Prince St. Pizza have created something that's entertaining, approachable and uniquely their own, and we're thrilled to bring the show to podcast audiences."

"Great podcasts create moments people want to be part of, and 'Delivering Happiness' does exactly that," said Will Pearson, President of iHeartPodcasts. "Nick Turturro has a way of turning a simple pizza delivery into an authentic conversation you can't script. We're excited to bring the series to podcast listeners through the TikTok Podcast Network."

"Pizza has always been the great connector," said Lawrence Longo, CEO of Prince St. Pizza. "People let their guard down around pizza. They tell stories they weren't planning to tell. They laugh harder. The conversations become real. What started as an experiment turned into something much bigger than we expected, and we're excited to bring it to a much larger audience through iHeart and TikTok."

Launched in March 2026, the TikTok Podcast Network is a first-of-its-kind partnership between TikTok and iHeartMedia that brings some of the platform’s leading creators into long-form podcasting. Designed to expand creator storytelling beyond short-form video, the network combines TikTok’s creator ecosystem with iHeartMedia’s industry-leading podcast production, distribution and monetization capabilities. GEICO serves as the network’s exclusive launch partner, creating new opportunities for brands to engage audiences through creator-led podcast content. The slate also includes “Sports Slice” hosted by sports creator Tim Martin (@timbosliceoflife12); “The Clifford Show” hosted by former college football player turned sports creator Clifford Taylor IV (@clifford); “Suite 305 with Lele Pons” hosted by multihyphenate and social media star Lele Pons (@lelepons); and coming soon “Caroline’s Closet” hosted by fashion editor, author and personality Caroline Vazzana (@cvazzana). All podcasts on the TikTok Podcast Network are distributed by iHeartPodcasts.

iHeartMedia — Thu, 07/09/2026 - 08:00

Premiering July 16, the series features the iconic duo as they reflect on eight seasons of adventures with the Mayor, wacky show characters, brunch and more

Special guests include Kyle MacLachlan, Aimee Mann, “Portlandia” director and co-creator Jonathan Krisel and more

NEW YORK – JULY 9, 2026 – iHeartMedia and Will Ferrell’s Big Money Players (BMP) today announced the launch of “Podlandia: A-O Rewatch,” a new “Portlandia” recap podcast hosted by comedian, writer, producer and musician Fred Armisen and writer, director and musician Carrie Brownstein.

Each week, “Podlandia: A-O Rewatch” will feature Armisen and Brownstein revisiting their cult-classic TV series, which documented the hipster fad of birds as decor, unique bicycles and intense mustache care that defined the capital of Oregon for an entire generation. During special visits from the Mayor (Kyle MacLachlan) and other beloved Portlandians, including Aimee Mann and “Portlandia” director and co-creator Jonathan Krisel, the hosts will recount the struggles, joys and surprises of each episode.

“Our hope with the ‘Portlandia’ rewatch podcast is to continue the conversations we began when the show first aired. Conversations around community, how a place shapes and defines us, how much of life is mere performance, and how absurdity is often the best way to make sense of the world,” said Carrie Brownstein, co-host of “Podlandia.” Revisiting these episodes also reminded me of the ways Fred is singularly hilarious; we loved getting to hang out and reminisce, sing the praises of the cast, crew, and the city itself, and to have a new means of connecting with our audience.”

“Re-watching these ‘Portlandia’ episodes was so enjoyable. I really laughed, which is a strange thing to say about something I’m in. Carrie made me laugh a lot, maybe I’ll put it that way. It was all illuminating and it sparked so many memories of shooting in beautiful Portland. Then, getting to sit with Carrie and talk about it all was another level of fun and connection. I’m so happy we have gotten a chance to do this,” said Fred Armisen, co-host of “Podlandia.”

“Fred and Carrie are such an iconic duo, and we’re excited to bring them back together again for ‘Podlandia: A-O Rewatch'," said Will Pearson, President of iHeartPodcasts.

Chelsea Handler and iHeartPodcasts Announce Dear Chelsea Network with New Show “You’re the Problem … with Yamaneika”

iHeartMedia — Wed, 07/08/2026 - 08:00

Chelsea Handler to serve as Executive Producer on all shows and continue hosting the flagship “Dear Chelsea” podcast

“You’re the Problem … with Yamaneika” will launch on July 15

NEW YORK – July 8, 2026 – Chelsea Handler and iHeartPodcasts today announced the launch of the Dear Chelsea Network, a multi-year partnership that includes Handler’s hit show “Dear Chelsea” and several new titles to come. The first new podcast launching on the network will be “You’re the Problem … with Yamaneika,” a come dy show hosted by Yamaneika Saunders covering pop culture, in-the-moment current events, news, politics and more debuting on July 15. Listen to the trailer now, HERE.

Alongside the flagship show “Dear Chelsea,” the popular iHeartPodcast available across all major podcast platforms and selected by Netflix as part of its licensed podcast lineup, the network will welcome its first new show later this month — “You’re the Problem … with Yamaneika,” a weekly comedic talk show where no topic across culture or current events is safe from Yamaneika’s takes. The comedian and her long time friend and producer Tyree Rush will invite listeners to share their thoughts, as the show will aim to create a community for the outspoken while reminding the audience that no matter what they think, they have a home with Yamaneika.

“When I started 'Dear Chelsea', I wanted to give people access to me and build a place where people could come for honest advice, real conversation and a lot of laughter," said Handler. "Building that community into a network feels incredibly meaningful, especially because I get to launch it with someone I know, love and believe in as much as Yamaneika. She’s one of the funniest people I know and I can’t wait for people to make her part of their lives the way I have.”

“Chelsea has become an incredibly influential voice in the podcasting space with her unique ability to create community among her listeners,” said Will Pearson, President, iHeartPodcasts. “We’re excited to expand that audience with the Dear Chelsea Network and welcome Yamaneika’s new show.”

“I’m so excited to be a part of the Dear Chelsea Network family, and for the world to listen to ‘You’re The Problem … with Yamaneika,’” said Saunders. “I love running my mouth, joking around and telling it like it is … cause I’m not the problem, YOU ARE.”

Handler will serve as Executive Producer on “You’re the Problem … with Yamaneika” as well as all shows across the network, which launches five years after the GRAMMY-nominated comedian, television host and seven-time New York Times best-selling author started her fan-favorite “Dear Chelsea” in April 2021. Handler has since become one of the most popular voices in podcasting, with “Dear Chelsea” winning a Webby Award in 2022 and now streaming on Netflix as part of the streamer’s inaugural video podcasting slate with iHeartMedia.

All Dear Chelsea Network shows will be distributed by iHeartPodcasts and available on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard.

iHeartPodcasts and Ryan Weiss Debut “Waking Up with Ryan,” a Daily Podcast Built to Change How Listeners Begin Their Day

iHeartMedia — Tue, 07/07/2026 - 08:00

The new series hosted by coach and former entertainment insider Ryan Weiss bets that ten minutes a day—one idea and one practice, not endless inspiration—is what actually moves a life

Premiering today, the podcast joins a show slate developed through iHeart’s unique creative partnership with The Lighthouse, the thriving creator campus launched by creator company Whalar Group

NEW YORK and LOS ANGELES — July 7, 2026 — iHeartPodcasts, the no. 1 podcast publisher globally, in partnership with The Lighthouse, today announced “Waking Up with Ryan,” a daily video podcast hosted by coach Ryan Weiss, premiering July 7. In a wellness landscape crowded with big ideas and longer and longer episodes, the show makes a deliberately contrarian bet: that lasting change doesn’t come from consuming more inspiration, but from practicing one thing, every day, until it becomes part of you. Listen to the debut episode now, HERE.

Each weekday episode (Monday–Friday, roughly ten minutes) centers on a single idea and a guided practice set to music—designed not to be heard and forgotten by lunch, but to be felt in the body and carried into the day. Every other week, the show widens into a long-form conversation with public figures, teachers, and artists about what awakening means to them, and the human experience beneath the public identity.

Confirmed guests for special long-form conversations include Sophia Bush, Edgar Ramírez, LeAnn Rimes, Scooter Braun, Jamie Lynn Sigler, Stacy London, Marianne Williamson, Daniel Sharman, Lance Bass, Jennifer Morrison, Krysten Ritter, Gerard Butler, Colton Underwood, Ricki Lake, Danielle Robay, Taye Diggs and JR Bourne, among others.

“Most of us are searching outside ourselves for something we already carry within,” said Weiss. “This show isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about remembering who you already are—and doing it in the first few minutes of the day, because how you begin your morning shapes the direction of your life.”

Weiss arrives at this work from an unlikely path. He began his career performing in Wicked on Broadway, then moved behind the scenes as an agent trainee at William Morris Agency and later became the Director of Development at Storyline Entertainment—before a deeper question about what people are really chasing pulled him out of entertainment and into coaching. For the past 17 years, he has worked privately with founders, creatives and public figures through his Emotional Fitness process, a three-step practice for moving from anxiety, stress and overwhelm into safety, trust and action. His coaching career began when actor Jamie-Lynn Sigler insisted he work with her, a story she recounts in her new book, “And So It Is.”

“Waking Up with Ryan” leans into cultural conversations rather than traditional promotional events. In Los Angeles at Lighthouse Venice, Weiss was joined by Emmanuelle Chriqui and Jenna Dewan for a conversation on how to show up for one another and in New York at Lighthouse Brooklyn, during an evening hosted by Danielle Robay and Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Ricki Lake interviewed Weiss on awakening, transformation and the intention behind the show. These conversations will be available later in the series as part of the long-form episodes.

“We’re always looking for authentic voices that meaningfully shift how people engage with audio, and ‘Waking Up with Ryan’ does exactly that,” said Will Pearson, President of iHeartPodcasts. “Ryan has created something distinct in a crowded wellness space—an experience that is concise, intentional and rooted in real daily practice. It’s the kind of show that creates a deep listener relationship over time, which is exactly what a great podcast does best.”

“Ryan embodies the ethos and mission of The Lighthouse: a multi-hyphenate creative committed to sharing his practice and wisdom in service of others. From his background in dance, to the agency world and into coaching, he brings a rare combination of artistry, empathy and lived experience to his work. With a deluge of wellness content, ‘Waking Up with Ryan,’ as a shorter daily format, reimagines personal growth into something accessible,” said Jon Goss, CEO, The Lighthouse. “Ryan isn’t simply creating a podcast. He’s creating a daily practice that helps people reconnect with themselves at that captive morning moment. To see that IP originated, and then picked up by iHeart, at The Lighthouse shows we are fulfilling our promise to creators: an infrastructure for frictionless creativity.”

“Waking Up with Ryan” premieres today, July 7 on the iHeartRadio app and wherever podcasts are available. New episodes post each weekday and are distributed by iHeartPodcasts.

About Ryan Weiss

Ryan Weiss is a coach and guide whose work lives at the intersection of emotional intelligence, relationships, spirituality, and personal transformation. Over 17 years he has worked with founders, creatives, and public figures, and has brought his work into companies including Amazon Music, Cash App, OSEA, Seed, MeUndies, Sweetgreen, Summit Series, YPO, and EO. He is represented by UTA and lives in Venice, California with his husband, daughter, and dog.

Additionally, iHeartMedia customers can now leverage Amazon DSP including Amazon’s authenticated first-party shopping, browsing and streaming signals across iHeart’s owned-and-operated digital inventory both locally and nationally, including digital, audio, podcasts and creator-led content, creating a more unified path for advertisers to activate multi-platform campaigns at scale.

Incorporating Amazon’s authenticated signals into iHeartMedia’s premium inventory allows advertisers to access solutions supported by real shopping insights.

Broadcast Radio Enters New Era: iHeartMedia First to Bring ‘AudioGraph’ to Market, Introducing Digital Precision and Measurability to the Largest Audio Audience in America

iHeartMedia — Thu, 06/18/2026 - 08:00

New advertising capabilities connect broadcast radio to the digital ecosystem by enabling precise targeting and measurement, providing additional reach and scale for brands, and leveraging the live cultural moments created in broadcast

New York, NY – June 18, 2026 – iHeartMedia, the No. 1 audio company in America today unveiled AudioGraph™ a suite of advertising capabilities that, for the first time, will bring digital-like targeting, identity-based planning and measurement, and outcome-based attribution to broadcast radio at scale. These capabilities are powered by Triton Digital, the global technology and services leader.

The vast majority of audio consumption (64 percent) comes from broadcast radio, yet up until today, it has lacked the targeting and measurement infrastructure available in digital. iHeartMedia's broadcast radio stations reach more than 278 million consumers every month, and now with AudioGraph, for the first time, advertisers can plan, target, measure, and attribute that audience using privacy-safe, ID-informed insights with digital-like precision.

AudioGraph makes it possible by connecting a privacy-safe identity spine, enriched audience attributes built from TransUnion data, and proprietary ID-level listening models that enable planning and measurement at the listener level while activating campaigns at broadcast scale. Proof of concept shows that broadcast radio campaigns planned and measured using privacy-safe AudioGraph IDs can deliver a KPI outcome 75 percent higher than traditional demo-based plans.

"Audio has always delivered unmatched scale and human-to-human connection, but measurement and precision have lagged behind digital," said Lisa Coffey, Chief Business Officer for iHeartMedia. "With 9 out of 10 Americans listening to broadcast radio every month, it’s extremely important that buyers can access this scale and impact with the precision and efficiency of digital media. With AudioGraph, we've closed that gap. Marketers can now use audio as an addressable and measurable performance channel at a national scale; with the same accountability they expect from every other part of their media plan."

"This innovation plays into the demands of the digital ecosystem and how brands can now buy radio, addressable, measurable and automated,” said Vinny Rinaldi, Vice President of Consumer Connections for The Hershey Company. “Radio now has a chance to see its day, helping drive demand creation and new intent, for brands, aligned with the measurement architect of the rest of the digital ecosystem. AudioGraph, is a great innovation for the industry, bringing the massive scale of radio to help deliver against brand growth models, build on penetration and reaching genuinely new buyers."

AudioGraph is powered by three core capabilities: targeting, buying, and measurement:

Unmatched Scale, Now with Digital Precision

AudioGraph brings digital-like targeting to broadcast radio through custom ID-based audience segments built from first-party listener data and TransUnion's identity graph. These segments inform campaign planning and optimization using privacy-safe AudioGraph IDs, while advanced predictive listening models enable advertisers to reach audiences at scale with greater accuracy than traditional demo-based approaches.

These capabilities are now enabled across broadcast for the first time and extend to streaming and podcast environments, allowing brands to activate campaigns against consistent audience definitions across all of iHeartMedia's audio inventory.

A Modern, Digital Way to Buy Radio

AudioGraph supports multiple buying channels, making broadcast radio as efficient and easy to buy as digital media. The platform offers direct DSP connectivity – ensuring it operates seamlessly with today’s digital ecosystem – and is designed to integrate with the emerging agentic landscape. DSP connectivity is important to sit in the digital ecosystem as it is today.

"We're excited to build on our existing partnership with iHeartMedia by adding AudioGraph, bringing more precise targeting and measurement to broadcast radio," said Chandra Cirulnick, VP Strategic Partnerships at Yahoo DSP. "Our collaboration through Yahoo ConnectID has already improved match rates on iHeartMedia's digital inventory. Adding broadcast radio via AudioGraph means our clients can reach even broader audiences with measurable results."

Measurement Built for an Open Ecosystem

AudioGraph was built to be interoperable with the digital measurement ecosystem. The platform supports any measurement, attribution, or analytics partner that advertisers already work with. iHeartMedia has validated deeper integrations with preferred partners including Magellan AI, PlaceIQ, and GroundTruth, connecting audio exposure to real-world outcomes such as foot traffic and in-store visits for a national home improvement brand. Early results showed that AudioGraph-powered campaigns informed by ID-based planning and measurement, outperformed traditional demo-based buying.

“One of the biggest challenges for advertisers has been evaluating broadcast radio within a unified, cross-channel measurement framework,” said Cameron Hendrix, CEO and Co-Founder of Magellan AI. “AudioGraph helps close that gap by making radio listenership addressable and attributable within the same systems as digital and podcasting. That alignment gives marketers a way to translate their media mix into the same language, enabling a more complete view of performance and proving the incremental reach and value broadcast radio delivers.”

Additionally, iHeartMedia's Guaranteed Human commitment means every AudioGraph impression runs alongside content created by real hosts, real creators, and real communities, not AI-generated personalities or synthetic voices.

"It turns out that unlike TV, which was just a delivery system for programs, consumers think about radio differently. It's a companion," said Bob Pittman, Chairman and CEO of iHeartMedia. "There are more people listening today than 10 or 20 years ago, and that trust is something no technology can manufacture. AudioGraph lets advertisers harness trust and unparalleled reach harness that trust with the precision and proof the modern marketplace demands."

Triton Digital created AudioGraph as an industry wide solution that will be deployed across the broadcast radio landscape in the US and globally. By creating a standardized set of digital signals and data-science driven models, Triton has enabled AudioGraph as a common identity solution for all radio broadcasters. AudioGraph will launch with iHeartMedia inventory with plans to expand its capabilities across the broader broadcast industry in 2027.

Bubbler Media and iHeartPodcasts Launch “gay-i,” a Bold New Podcast Bringing LGBTQ+ Voices to the Forefront of the Marketing Conversation

iHeartMedia — Mon, 06/15/2026 - 08:00

Hosted by Gayle Troberman and Daryl Lee, the debut episode explores why HBO’s “Heated Rivalry” is reshaping sports, culture, marketing and selling of a gay love story

Series Premieres June 15, 2026

Listen to “gay-i” Now HERE

NEWPORT, RI – June 15, 2026 – Bubbler Media, the conversation company built for curious marketers, culture-watchers and thoughtful leaders who would rather start a dinner-party debate than sit through another panel, and iHeartPodcasts, the No. 1 podcast publisher globally according to Podtrac, today announced the launch of “gay-i,” a new podcast looking at marketing, media and culture through a distinctly LGBTQ+ lens.

Co-hosted by Gayle Troberman, co-founder of Bubbler and former CMO of iHeartMedia and Chief Creative Officer of Microsoft, and Daryl Lee, Global Chairman of McCann, “gay-i” gives listeners the gay eye on what is really moving marketing, media and culture – because as the show’s tagline says, all marketing is definitely not created equal. With C-suite firepower, queer curiosity and a healthy intolerance for boring brand conversations, each episode brings together LGBTQ+ leaders, allies, marketers, creators and cultural voices to unpack the campaigns, fandoms, entertainment, ideas and conversations reshaping culture and where brands must pay attention.

"Marketing is ultimately about understanding people and connecting through culture," said Gayle Troberman, co-host of “gay-i” and co-founder of Bubbler. "The LGBTQ+ community has always had a knack for spotting what’s next and shaping the conversations, trends and creative ideas that move culture forward. In a world increasingly focused on data and technology, ‘gay-i’ is a place for bold, human conversations about what's resonating today through the uniquely gay eye."

The debut episode, “Heated Rivalry,” dives into the unexpected impact of HBO’s breakout gay hockey romance, exploring what the show’s success reveals about fandom, representation in sports and the power of a love story once considered niche to mainstream culture. Guests include NHL CMO Heidi Browning, who shares insights into the series’ influence on the league and its audience, and McCann Chief Entertainment Officer Brendan Gaul, who explores why stories once overlooked are increasingly becoming the cultural moments brands need to understand.

“In a time of fear and caution, Heated Rivalry came along to shake us up and remind us that the stories of gay culture are also stories of universal human struggles – for achievement, for acceptance and for love,” said Daryl Lee, co-host of “gay-i” and Global Chairman of McCann. “The wild success of this gay romance and its effect on brands in the NHL is a reminder of the power of the LGBTQ+ community in generating excitement, conversation and sales.”

“Gay-i” is part of a growing slate of marketing and business podcasts from Bubbler Media and iHeartPodcasts hosted by some of the industry’s most recognizable voices. The slate aims to bring more human, unfiltered conversation into the marketing space – challenging how brands think about culture, creativity and connection. Podcasts launched on the slate, include “So, Get This” with The Harris Poll’s John Gerzema and Libby Rodney; “Unbossing” with Rishad Tobaccowala and Drew Ianni; and “Market Says?” hosted by Marcus Collins and his University of Michigan students.

“gay-i” is distributed by iHeartPodcasts and is available on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard. Listen now HERE.

Eleonora “Lele” Pons is a social media sensation who entertains an audience of more than 100 million with her comedy, music and creative content across platforms. Lele was the first person to be called an “influencer” in the United States as the most-followed woman on Vine in 2013 and has opened countless doors for Latino creators. In her debut podcast, Lele invites cultural movers and shakers, from global icons to rising stars, to kick back in their pajamas and talk candidly about everything from their pasts and dreams to their fears, pain, and sources of inspiration. Each episode will feature unfiltered conversations that pull listeners inside “Suite 305,” making them feel like part of Lele’s slumber party alongside her guests.

“I’m so excited to have my friends on this podcast and share the stories behind our friendships,” said Lele Pons. “So many people see us together online, but they don’t know how we met or everything we’ve been through together. I can’t wait to show a more personal and private side of each of them and have real conversations you’ve never heard before.”

Launched in March 2026, the TikTok Podcast Network is a first-of-its-kind partnership between TikTok and iHeartMedia that brings some of the platform’s most influential creators into long-form podcasting. Designed to expand creator storytelling beyond short-form video, the network combines TikTok’s creator ecosystem with iHeartMedia’s industry-leading podcast production, distribution and monetization capabilities. GEICO serves as the network’s exclusive launch partner, creating new opportunities for brands to engage audiences through creator-led podcast content. The slate also includes “The Set List with Carter Gregory” hosted by media personality, music executive and cultural tastemaker Carter Gregory (@thecarterb); “Sports Slice” hosted by sports influencer Tim Martin (@timbosliceoflife12); “The Clifford Show” hosted by former college football player turned viral sports creator Clifford Taylor IV (@clifford); and coming soon – “Caroline’s Closet” hosted by fashion editor, author and personality Caroline Vazzana (@cvazzana).

Additionally, it was announced today that “Suite 305 with Lele Pons” will join the slate of industry‑leading iHeartPodcasts on Netflix, expanding the range of compelling, conversation‑driven programming spanning lifestyle, pop culture, comedy and personal storytelling to Netflix members.

In the first episode, Lele will sit down with Shakira to discuss life, love, motherhood, dreams and a few secrets Shakira has never shared with anyone before. Additional upcoming guests include Paris Hilton, Simone Ashley, the cast of Netflix’s “Bridgerton” and more.

"Lele isn’t just a creator, she’s a social media legend,” said Leo Gomez, Head of iHeartMedia’s My Cultura Podcast Network. "Few people on the planet can command attention across generations, cultures and countries the way she does. Her humor is unifying, her energy is unmistakable and her pop-culture presence is undeniable. She’s built one of the most engaged global audiences in the world, and we’re proud to celebrate her and amplify her voice through My Cultura’s multi-platform network.”

iHeartMedia’s My Cultura Podcast Network launched May 2021 in collaboration with Enrique Santos, iHeartMedia’s top-rated on-air personality and President and Chief Creative Officer of iHeartLatino, and has since welcomed actor, producer, entrepreneur and activist Wilmer Valderrama along with Eva Longoria and her studio Hyphenate Media Group as stakeholders.

A defining bet on golf’s next generation.

NEW YORK - June 11, 2026 - NXXT Golf and iHeartMedia today announced a landmark sponsorship naming iHeartMedia the Official Media Partner of NXXT Golf. The agreement is one of the most significant audio sponsorships ever committed to women's and junior competitive golf.

Through the sponsorship, iHeartMedia will deploy its unmatched multiplatform ecosystem spanning live broadcast radio, podcasts, digital streaming and live events to amplify NXXT’s players and championship events.

As a cornerstone of the partnership, iHeartMedia will serve as a title and presenting sponsor across NXXT Golf's premier event portfolio - including the NXXT Faldo Junior Tour, the NXXT Women's Pro Tour, and the season's most prestigious championship events.

iHeart's broader sports portfolio includes iHeart Women’s Sports – the first audio platform built exclusively for amplifying women's sports – as well as partnerships with the NFL, NHL, Olympic Games, U.S. Ski & Snowboard, U.S. Figure Skating and the latest addition, NXXT Golf.
