iHeartMedia and Will Ferrell’s Big Money Players Network and SmartLess Media Launch New Comedy True-Crime Anthology Podcast “CrimeLess”

“Hillbilly Heist,” a special 8-part CrimeLess story narrated by Johnny Knoxville, debuts October 15, followed by the weekly “CrimeLess” anthology podcast hosted by comedian Rory Scovel and true crime podcaster Josh Dean on December 10

Listen to the “Hillbilly Heist” Trailer HERE

NEW YORK – October 8, 2025 – iHeartMedia and Will Ferrell’s Big Money Players Network (BMP) and SmartLess Media, in collaboration with Campside Media, today announced “CrimeLess,” an anthology series that breaks down at least one crazy crime each week and answers the questions that listeners are too afraid, or embarrassed, to ask. The comedy true-crime series will kick off with “Hillbilly Heist,” a special eight-part CrimeLess story hosted by Johnny Knoxville. All eight episodes of “Hillbilly Heist” will be available on October 15 exclusively for listeners on the iHeartRadio app. Episodes will post weekly on Wednesdays across all other podcast listening platforms. All fans can listen to the “Hillbilly Heist” trailer now, HERE.

“Hillbilly Heist” will take listeners on a deep dive inside the true story of David Ghantt, a small-town security guard who, along with a band of hopeless accomplices, managed to pull off the second-largest bank heist in U.S. history. Narrated by Johnny Knoxville, the special 8-episode CrimeLess story will uncover how a team of criminals in over their heads got together to pull off one of history’s most unbelievable heists.

"If there is one thing I love in life it’s shortsighted (some would say dumb) criminals who have absolutely no business in the robbery game. They aren’t bad people, they are just bad at planning, worse at execution, and THE WORST at the cover up afterwards,” said Johnny Knoxville. “As an example I would like to introduce you to David, Kelly, and Steve who somehow pulled off one of the biggest and most unintentionally hilarious cash heists in American history.''

Following the conclusion of “Hillbilly Heist” and beginning on December 10, the “CrimeLess” podcast will broaden its lens with weekly anthology stories hosted by comedian Rory Scovel and veteran journalist and true crime podcaster Josh Dean. Each episode, Rory and Josh will explore a new brazen heist, outlandish scam, crypto caper, monkey gang war or otherwise outrageous crime – breaking down the wild characters and details behind it, and how they could have pulled it off better themselves. Equal parts comedy and investigation, the series will offer listeners an offbeat but surprisingly insightful look at the strange world of crime.

“We’re thrilled to team up with SmartLess Media for the first time and to continue collaborating with Campside on such a unique and hilarious project,” said Will Pearson, President of iHeartPodcasts. “By pairing Rory and Josh’s comedic curiosity with Johnny Knoxville’s narration of ‘Hillbilly Heist,’ we’re delivering a show that’s unlike any other in the true crime genre.”

“CrimeLess” is distributed by iHeartPodcasts and will be available on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard.

Coolfire Studios and iHeartPodcasts Launch Riveting New Podcast, “The Peacemaker,” Exploring Harrowing Events That Unfolded in a Serene Rural College Town 

Eight-part series uncovers the truth behind a string of deaths in Missouri at Truman State University’s Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity house, the most infamous suicide cluster in American history

Listen to the official audio trailer now HERE

ST. LOUIS – October 7, 2025 – iHeartPodcasts and Coolfire Studios announced today the launch of The Peacemaker, a new true-crime podcast hosted by investigative journalists Ben Westhoff (Fentanyl, Inc.) and Ryan Krull (St. Louis Magazine). The eight-part investigative series drops Tuesday, October 14, with new episodes released weekly, available on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard. 

The Peacemaker will take listeners to Truman State University, a small liberal arts college in Missouri often called the “Harvard of the Midwest.” Between 2016 and 2017, the campus was shaken by a rash of suicides. Many of them were from the Alpha Kappa Lambda (AKL) fraternity and all had close ties to a fellow student named Brandon Grossheim.

Grossheim, the house manager at AKL, was close friends with all of the victims and found some of their bodies. After their deaths, he began dating some of the victims’ girlfriends and wearing one of the victim’s clothes. He was kicked out of his fraternity and is now being sued in civil court over the deaths. Yet not everyone believes Grossheim is guilty. Some call him a caring and empathetic underclassman who had a string of bad luck. He even called himself “The Peacemaker” for his supposed ability to counsel his classmates in their darkest moments. 

But as the suicides continued mounting and police interviewed him at death scenes over and over again, suspicion grew. Why was he so closely tied to all of these suicides? Was he somehow responsible for them? Through exclusive interviews and on-the-ground reporting, hosts Westhoff and Krull will expose new revelations and never-told details, going deeper than anyone has before on this disturbing case—one that continues to divide a college town, perplex the devastated families of the bereaved, and raise urgent questions about mental health, responsibility and justice.

The Peacemaker will bring to light shocking revelations about what really happened inside the Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity house and the man at the center of it all. 

The Peacemaker is distributed by iHeartPodcasts. Listeners can hear the trailer now, here.

iHeartMedia and OSO Studios Launch “Cardiac Cowboys,” A New iHeartPodcast Narrated by Chris Pine Chronicling the Maverick Surgeons Who Risked Everything to Invent Open-Heart Surgery  

Discover the untold story of the fearless and flawed heroes who took on the medical establishment and forever changed the landscape of medicine

 “Cardiac Cowboys” premieres today on World Heart Day 

NEW YORK – September 29, 2025 – iHeartPodcasts, the No. 1 podcast publisher globally, and OSO Studios, founded by producer Dub Cornett, today announced the debut of “Cardiac Cowboys,” a new six-episode documentary series narrated by actor, producer, director Chris Pine (Star Trek).  The podcast will invite listeners to journey into the riveting true story of the birth of heart surgery, spotlighting medical pioneers from America’s heartland whose courage and ingenuity broke barriers and saved countless lives. The entire series will debut today on World Heart Day, September 29, 2025. Listen now, HERE.

For most of human history, the heart was a sacred organ, off-limits to surgeons. “Cardiac Cowboys” will transport listeners into the operating rooms where these audacious young doctors first dared to challenge conventional wisdom. They competed and feuded with each other, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Working on shoestring budgets, they made use of makeshift laboratories and home garages, rigging together old dairy pumps and beer tubes to build medical devices. In the span of a few short years, these American mavericks pioneered the world’s first open-heart operations, forging tools and techniques that still save lives today.

“As the narrator of ‘Cardiac Cowboys,’ I was struck by the sheer bravery and relentless determination of these medical pioneers.” said Pine. "This story is about rule-breakers who risked everything to save lives and changed the course of medicine for all of us.”

OSO Studios’ Dub Cornett and executive producer John Mankiewicz, in association with Barry Linen Motion Pictures and 13th Lake Media, brought together an award-winning creative team that includes writer and co-host Jamie Napoli, as well as GRAMMY award-winning composer David Mansfield to bring the story of the “Cardiac Cowboys” to life. 

“When I first read Dr. Gerald Imber’s book about the Cardiac Cowboys, I knew we had to gather our team and create this series. It’s epic in its real-life battles of life and death. These heroic doctors have saved countless lives and their work continues to this day,” said Cornett. “By partnering with iHeartPodcasts to bring this series to the world, we celebrate the physicians whose achievements have touched every family, in one way or another, reaching all of us who have a heart.”

Cardiac Cowboys” is sponsored by Jasper, the leading AI content automation platform that is purpose-built for marketing. Jasper enabled the iHeartMedia team to get this podcast to market faster by automating the production of its promotional assets, even across a broad and diverse set of audiences and channels—from social posts and video promotions to audio advertising spots—while ensuring quality and brand consistency. 

“The story of the ‘Cardiac Cowboys’ is a testament to human courage and innovation—qualities that resonate deeply with so many of us,” said Will Pearson, President of iHeartPodcasts. “We believe this series will not only honor the pioneers of heart surgery but also inspire listeners to consider what’s possible when boundaries are challenged. Thanks to Jasper, our team was able to rapidly create compelling marketing materials and seamlessly promote the podcast to audiences everywhere, helping us amplify the impact of this remarkable story.”

“Cardiac Cowboys” is distributed by iHeartPodcasts. Listeners can experience this groundbreaking series on the iHeartRadio app and across all major podcast platforms. Tune in now and rediscover the proud legacy of America’s heartland heroes—where every life saved and every boundary shattered, began with courage and conviction in the beating heart of the nation.

iHeartMedia’s My Cultura Podcast Network and Propagate Content Announce New Podcast ‘Viva Betty: An Ugly Betty Rewatch,’ Hosted by Series Stars Mark Indelicato and Ana Ortiz

The podcast premieres October 2, on the heels of the 19th anniversary of ‘Ugly Betty,’ featuring behind-the-scenes stories and interviews with cast and crew including America Ferrera, Vanessa Williams and more

Listen to the official trailer HERE

NEW YORK -- September 25, 2025 – iHeartMedia, the No. 1 podcast publisher according to Podtrac, today announced “Viva Betty: An Ugly Betty Rewatch,” a new weekly podcast hosted by Mark Indelicato and Ana Ortiz, who starred as Justin and Hilda Suarez on the hit ABC television series, Ugly Betty. Every week, the hosts will sit down to rewatch the TV show that changed their lives and made audiences feel like being different was a superpower. “Viva Betty” is a co-production of Propagate Content and iHeartMedia’s My Cultura Podcast Network, a network dedicated to elevating Latinx voices and stories. The first episode will be available beginning Thursday, October 2. Listen to the official trailer now, HERE

In each episode, Indelicato and Ortiz will dive into the popular show with fresh eyes and no filter as they revisit every messy moment, iconic outfit, and groundbreaking storyline, one episode at a time. The podcast isn’t just a nostalgia trip, it’s a love letter to Ugly Betty, a show that featured characters who shattered stereotypes and told stories that mattered, putting a working-class Latino family, the immigrant experience, and LGBTQ+ storylines front and center. 

The podcast will also bring listeners interviews with their favorite cast and crew. Confirmed guests include series regulars America Ferrera, Vanessa Williams and Judith Light, along with pilot director Richard Shepard, and Executive Producer of Ugly Betty and “Viva Betty” Teri Weinberg, among others.

“It’s beyond my wildest dreams to be hosting ‘Viva Betty’ with Ana. I’m so excited to have the perfect excuse to spend even more time with my best friend and catching up with our ‘Ugly Betty’ family,” said Indelicato.

"’Ugly Betty’ was more than just a TV show for me — it was a family, an experience that shaped my life in ways I’ll never forget. Getting to revisit those stories and reunite with the cast and crew who made them so special feels like coming home. I can’t wait to relive the magic with Mark and share it with old fans and a whole new generation,” added Ortiz.

“There aren't many stories of us in mainstream media that truly and respectfully represent the joy and amazing nuances of being Latino. ‘Ugly Betty’ did that and created an unprecedented impact in American pop culture at large. That's the power of authenticity. We’re thrilled to partner with Ana, Mark and the team at Propagate to revisit a show that touched so many lives from all walks of life,” said Leo Gomez, head of iHeartMedia’s My Cultura Podcast Network. “At iHeartMedia and My Cultura, we’re committed to supporting Latino storytelling in media and we can’t wait for ‘Viva Betty’ to bring together original ‘Ugly Betty’ viewers while also introducing the show to the next generation of fans.”

The 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. Since launch, the network has seen steady listener growth and has become home to more than 60 podcasts including hit series “Chiquis and Chill,” “Princess of South Beach,'' “Wrestling with Freddie,” “Sacred Scandal,” “Radio Ambulante,” “Magical Rewind,” “He Said, Ella Dijo with Eric Winter and Roselyn Sanchez,” “Enrique Santos Podcast,” “You vs You with Lex Borrero” and many more. In tandem with the network’s fourth anniversary this past June, it was announced that Eva Longoria and her studio Hyphenate Media Group joined actor, producer, entrepreneur and activist Wilmer Valderrama as stakeholders of My Cultura.
