NEW YORK – March 5, 2023 – iHeartPodcasts, the No.1 podcast publisher according to Podtrac, and Will Packer Media, a first-of-its-kind production and branded content company led by record-breaking Hollywood producer Will Packer, and journalist, host and author Tiffany D. Cross today announced the debut of “ACross Generations,” a new podcast series brings together Black women from different generations to have emotional, funny, and heartwarming exchanges about life experiences at different decades of their journey. The podcast will debut on March 12, with new episodes airing weekly on Tuesdays. Listeners can tune in to the official trailer here (under embargo).
Each episode will feature candid straightforward and heartfelt conversations with three multigenerational Black women – an elder (Boomer), a middle-aged (Gen-X/millennial), and a younger Black woman (Gen Z) – that will explore and celebrate the essence of womanhood in its myriad forms recreating the cultural cornerstone of “grandma’s kitchen table” that so many in the community have experienced. The discussions range from exploring issues like changing perspectives on love and sex through the years to what you might tell your younger self about money or career. life and lessons learned in your 20's.
“Seasoned women who have lived decades have so much wisdom to share and Black women throughout history have always been oracles providing comfort and wisdom to all and I want to invite audiences to relish in that love and sage insight,” said Cross. “I am so thrilled to have these conversations every week on ‘ACross Generations’ and learn from both the matriarchs and the younger women who both have so much to offer and I truly hope that people will watch with both their mothers and their daughters to have edifying conversations that bring us all closer and will provoke thought as well as laughter and, sometimes, maybe even tears.”
“ACross Generations” joins iHeartMedia and Will Packer Media’s iHeartPodcasts slate deal, which includes original scripted and unscripted shows. The partnership includes the two recent seasons of the dark comedy, “The Lower Bottoms,” and “IDEA GENERATION’S All Angles.”
“I am thrilled for Tiffany to bring to life engaging conversations that will spark dialogue and open minds. These are essential women centered discussions that all generations will enjoy, and Will Packer Media couldn’t be prouder to partner with Tiffany and iHeartPodcasts,” says Packer.
“ACross Generations” is distributed by iHeartPodcasts and will be available on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard.
