LE SSERAFIM to perform songs from the new album, share inspiration behind the tracks and answer fan questions at the live event
New York, N.Y. – June 5, 2026 – In celebration of LE SSERAFIM’s recent album, ‘PUREFLOW’ pt. 1 released on May 22, iHeartMedia and TikTok will give fans exclusive access to a performance of songs from the new album during the iHeartRadio and TikTok LIVE Premiere with LE SSERAFIM. The event will take place on June 12 at 10 p.m. ET/ 7 p.m. PT at the iHeartRadio Theater in Los Angeles and stream LIVE on @iheartradio, @le_sserafim, and @tiktok. Hosted by iHeartRadio personality JoJo Wright, the preview will also broadcast across iHeartRadio CHR stations on June 21.
In addition to performing songs from the new album, LE SSERAFIM will share the inspiration behind each track and provide insight into the group’s highly anticipated new era for their global fanbase, including nearly 15 million followers on TikTok. Fans, both in person and at home, can also ask questions directly on TikTok LIVE during the event.
LE SSERAFIM’s second studio album title ‘PUREFLOW’ pt. 1 is derived from an anagram of “POWERFUL,” reflecting a shift toward continuous movement. Across the album, fear is explored in different stages — uncertainty, awareness, response, and release — forming a connected emotional progression rather than isolated moments.
“We are looking forward to performing songs from our recent album, giving fans a sneak peek ahead of our upcoming world tour,” said LE SSERAFIM. “This album means so much to us and this event with iHeartRadio and TikTok will allow us to connect with our fans across the globe in an intimate way.”
This is the fourth live event iHeartRadio and TikTok LIVE have partnered on, creating a next-generation release format that merges the scale of broadcast radio with the interactivity of a community-driven platform, delivering record-breaking results and outlining a new blueprint for artist launches moving forward.

Kaleidoscope And iHeartPodcasts Announce Season Two Of “Skyline Drive: How To Live Forever,” A New Limited Series Exploring The Science, Culture, And Emotional Cost Of The Quest To Live Forever

NEW YORK – June 2, 2026 – Kaleidoscope, the New York-based media company redefining science and technology storytelling, and iHeartPodcasts, the No. 1 podcast publisher globally, today announced season two of Skyline Drive: How to Live Forever, a new limited podcast series exploring the rapidly growing pursuit of immortality and the emotional, scientific, and cultural consequences of trying to outrun death. Hosted by Kaleidoscope co-founder Mangesh Hattikudur, the new season follows a deeply personal reporting journey through the booming worlds of longevity science, biohacking, epigenetics, and radical life extension, meeting the scientists, entrepreneurs, philosophers, and experimenters attempting to transform aging, and perhaps death itself, into solvable problems. The official trailer is available now, with the first episode premiering Tuesday, June 9, 2026. New episodes will be published weekly every Tuesday.
Skyline Drive: How to Live Forever follows Hattikudur across the United States and internationally as he investigates the growing movement determined to radically extend human life, reporting from MIT and Harvard in Boston, Stanford University and Bay Area biohacker communities, wellness spaces across Southern California, and the Reverse Infinity Lab in Goa, India. Along the way, he speaks with leading scientists, philosophers, biohackers, entrepreneurs, and everyday people confronting mortality in radically different ways, including Dr. Nir Barzilai (Director, Einstein Institute for Geroscience), Dr. Li-Huei Tsai (Director, The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory at MIT), Joseph Coughlin (Director, MIT AgeLab), Dr. William Mair (Professor of Molecular Metabolism, Harvard), Professor Stephen Cave (Academic Director for the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence, University of Cambridge) Professor John Fischer (Professor of Philosophy, UC Riverside), Lenny Guarente (Founder, Elysium Health and Professor, MIT), and Alua Arthur (Death Coach, Going with Grace). Sparked in part by an astrological prediction that he would die at 64, the season becomes a deeply personal exploration of aging, inherited trauma, grief, and the search for meaning in a world increasingly obsessed with immortality. The new season follows the critically acclaimed first season of Skyline Drive, which was named a “Series Essential” by Apple Podcasts and recognized on year-end Best Podcasts lists by New York Magazine and The Guardian.
“Some of the most powerful stories are the ones that help people grapple with the biggest questions shaping our future in a deeply human way,” said Oz Woloshyn, co-founder of Kaleidoscope. “What Mangesh accomplished with Skyline Drive is an incredible example of that. As my co-founder and creative partner, I’ve watched him transform a deeply personal journey about mortality, family history, and longevity into something universal that explores not just death, but how to live and what’s truly worth living for. This season is a powerful example of Kaleidoscope’s approach to science and technology storytelling through a deeply human lens.”
Hattikudur is a veteran media builder and creative executive who previously served as SVP of Podcast Development at iHeartMedia, where he launched critically acclaimed series, including Somebody and Hit Man. Before that, he co-founded and ran Mental Floss for 17 years, growing it from a college startup into a national media brand. Currently, he is redefining science and technology storytelling through Kaleidoscope and his podcast, Part Time Genius, which he co-hosts with Will Pearson, president of iHeartPodcasts.
“Skyline Drive is a podcast about topics that seem to be everywhere, and yet, no one has a handle on. Astrology in Season 1 and Longevity in Season 2 are both topics where scientific claims abound, but it takes effort to separate the truth from the snake oil,” said Hattikudur. “This season reflects so much of what we aim to do at Kaleidoscope: Exploring some of the biggest scientific and cultural questions shaping our future through joyous and deeply reported storytelling. The more I explored the world of longevenauts, death deniers, and biopunks, the more I found myself making plans for an uncertain future. Above all, I hope listeners come away thinking differently about life, death, and our responsibility to one another.”
Skyline Drive: How to Live Forever season two is distributed by iHeartPodcasts and joins Kaleidoscope’s growing slate of premium content exploring science and technology. New episodes will publish every Tuesday on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard.

iHeartRadio Named Title Sponsor for the USA Bobsled/Skeleton Recruitment Series
LAKE PLACID, N.Y. (May 28, 2026) - USA Bobsled/Skeleton (USABS) is excited to announce a new partnership with iHeartRadio, iHeartMedia’s free all-in-one live radio, streaming music and podcasting platform, to expand recruitment efforts for the next generation of USA sliders.
As part of the partnership, iHeartMedia will contribute significant on-air and digital marketing support to help promote USA Bobsled and Skeleton recruitment events to a broader audience nationwide and will become the title sponsor for the 2026 Recruitment Series.
Bobsled and skeleton are unique sports because most athletes do not begin their sliding careers until their late teens or early 20s, transferring athletic skills developed in other sports to the ice track.
Each offseason, USABS hosts in-person recruitment events, as well as a virtual combine, to identify new talent. Athletes participating in the 2026 iHeartRadio USA Bobsled/Skeleton Recruitment Series are tested in a variety of skills, including:
- 40-yard sprint
- Broad jump and vertical jump
- 5-10-5 pro agility shuttle
- Kneeling power ball toss
- 20-yard resisted sprint
No prior sliding experience is required to participate.
Top-performing athletes identified through combine testing are invited to Lake Placid, New York, for Rookie Camp, where they further develop their skills and have the opportunity to push a sled on ice for the first time.
Through this partnership, iHeartRadio will play an active role in helping USABS recruit the next generation of champions for the USA. The collaboration provides a valuable opportunity to introduce bobsled and skeleton to a broader audience as the organization continues its mission to recruit world-class talent and win medals for the United States on the world stage.
"Having iHeartRadio as the title sponsor of the USA Bobsled/Skeleton Recruitment Series is a game-changing partnership for our organization. Their incredible reach will help us introduce bobsled and skeleton to new audiences, inspire talented athletes to explore these sports, and identify the next generation of USA competitors,” shared Aron McGuire, CEO of USABS.
"We’re proud to partner with USA Bobsled and Skeleton to help amplify their recruitment efforts nationwide,” said Michael Biondo, President of Business Development and Strategic Partnerships for iHeartMedia. “This is an incredible opportunity to inspire new athletes and support the future of the USA team."

INTENNSE and iHeartMedia Announce Official Audio Partnership
League Exposure and Storytelling Opportunities to Grow with Access to Millions of iHeart Listeners Nationwide
ATLANTA – May 28, 2026 – INTENNSE, the revolutionary professional co-ed tennis league redefining the sport with its fast-paced, team-based format, today announced a landmark partnership with iHeartMedia, the No. 1 audio company in America and the largest podcast publisher globally, naming iHeartRadio the Official Audio Partner of INTENNSE. The partnership will bring INTENNSE’s unique brand of professional tennis to new audiences across iHeart’s unmatched multiplatform network.
Under the terms of the agreement, iHeartRadio will serve as the league’s official and exclusive audio partner, delivering promotional content, player storytelling, and INTENNSE programming across its live broadcast radio stations, iHeartRadio’s free streaming app, iHeartPodcasts network, digital platforms, and live events. The partnership is designed to amplify INTENNSE’s momentum as the league enters the 2026 season with 10 teams competing at Assembly Studios in Atlanta while building national awareness in advance of the league’s planned expansion and growth targets. Additionally, the INTENNSE Arena practice court will now become the “iHeart Practice Court.”
"iHeartMedia tells stories at a scale we simply can't replicate on our own, and that's exactly why this partnership matters," said Charles Allen, CEO, INTENNSE. "Tennis has never had a product like ours: co-ed, team-based, fast-paced, and built for the moment we're living in. But a great product still needs to find its audience, and iHeart opens doors well beyond where we are today. This is a chance to build something together, bring new fans into the INTENNSE world, and grow the league in ways that are good for everyone at the table."
The partnership will be activated across iHeartMedia’s full ecosystem and will include original INTENNSE-branded audio content; live streamed iHeart Practice Court segments at select matches; promotional campaigns aired across iHeartMedia’s national network of broadcast radio stations; cross-platform digital campaigns that drive tune-in and build INTENNSE’s national fanbase; and iHeartRadio brand integration and on-site fan activations during INTENNSE live match events at Assembly Studios in Atlanta.
“INTENNSE represents exactly the kind of bold, innovative sports property that resonates with the iHeart audience – co-ed, team-driven and built for the next generation of sports fans,” said Michael Biondo, President of Business Development and Strategic Partnerships for iHeartMedia. “We’re proud to be the official audio partner of INTENNSE and to use the full power of our platform to introduce the league to millions of new fans from coast to coast.”
The partnership is structured to grow alongside INTENNSE as the league expands from its Atlanta hub, positioning iHeart as the league’s long-term audio and media partner at every stage of that growth. iHeartMedia’s unmatched local-to-national infrastructure — connecting Atlanta-market radio and digital with national podcast and streaming distribution — makes it the ideal platform partner for a league built to scale.

iHeartMedia and Netflix Deepen Partnership with Daily Live Video Stream of Nationally Syndicated Hit Radio Show The Breakfast Club with Charlamagne Tha God, DJ Envy and Jess Hilarious
The iconic morning show becomes Netflix’s first daily live program airing each weekday, featuring nearly three hours of uninterrupted show with exclusive content during breaks
New York and Los Angeles – May 21, 2026 – iHeartMedia, the No. 1 audio company in America, and Netflix today announced the next major milestone in their video podcast partnership: The Breakfast Club, one of the most influential and culturally resonant broadcast radio morning shows in the country, will now stream live daily on Netflix, marking an unprecedented evolution of the show – and the first daily live program airing each weekday for Netflix.
Beginning June 1, The Breakfast Club, co-hosted by Charlamagne tha God, will air simultaneously as a live video show on Netflix each weekday, giving members nearly three hours of real‑time access to the show’s unfiltered conversations, headline‑driving interviews, and cultural commentary as it happens. While the radio broadcast will continue to include traditional commercial breaks, Netflix viewers will receive an enhanced, uninterrupted experience, with those breaks filled by exclusive bonus segments, behind‑the‑scenes moments, extended discussions and original content—resulting in nearly three continuous hours of programming each day.
This expansion builds on iHeartMedia and Netflix’s previously announced exclusive video podcast collaboration, unveiled in December, and represents how audio‑first franchises can thrive in a premium, video environment.
“The Breakfast Club has always been at the center of culture, breaking artists, shaping conversations, and reflecting real life in real time,” said Bob Pittman, Chairman and CEO for iHeartMedia. “Taking this show live every day to a global audience on Netflix is a powerful example of how we’re expanding the reach of our biggest brands while giving audiences entirely new ways to experience them. Whether it’s morning in NYC or the afternoon in London, the conversation is live and reaching the world in real time.”
“Do y’all understand what “Live Globally” really means? Mornings in New York. Daytime in the U.K. and Ghana. Evenings across other parts of the world,” said Charlamagne tha God. “The media landscape will always evolve, but one thing consistently cuts through: live programming. That’s a big reason The Breakfast Club has sustained its reign for so long. We’re building something powerful—real‑time conversation, real community, on a global scale. The future belongs to those who can see what’s possible—and trust me, the vision for The Breakfast Club and Netflix is crystal clear.”
With its live daily format, The Breakfast Club becomes one of the first shows of its kind on Netflix, showcasing the service’s growing investment in the podcast space and creator‑driven programming. The show will continue to feature its current lineup of hosts—Charlamagne tha God, DJ Envy and Jess Hilarious—bringing their signature energy, authenticity and cultural authority to Netflix members around the globe.
“The Breakfast Club has been a cultural staple for years, and we’re thrilled to make it our first daily live morning show on Netflix,” said Lauren Smith, Netflix VP of Content Licensing and Programming Strategy. "Every weekday, members can drop into nearly three hours of live, unfiltered conversation, plus exclusive moments they won’t hear anywhere else. It’s a big step forward in how we bring culturally defining audio‑first franchises to life for Netflix audiences around the world, and we’re excited to deepen our partnership with iHeartMedia.”
The morning program originates from iHeartMedia’s legendary Power 105.1/WWPR-FM in New York and will continue to be nationally syndicated by Premiere Networks on more than 100 broadcast radio stations nationwide and on the iHeartRadio app, with all audio‑only rights and distribution continuing to be retained by iHeartMedia. The enhanced Netflix version offers an additive experience—designed specifically for viewers.
Originally launched in 2010, The Breakfast Club has become the bullhorn for modern culture and is widely regarded as the most informative and entertaining top-rated contemporary Hip-Hop/R&B morning show today. Charlamagne Tha God and his co-hosts DJ Envy and Jess Hilarious are known for their unrivaled interviews with celebrities and recording artists. Esteemed guests who have appeared on the show include former President Barack Obama, former President Joe Biden, former Vice President Kamala Harris, Jay-Z, Cardi B, Kendrick Lamar, Kevin Hart, Snoop Dogg, Future, 50 Cent, Lizzo, Will Smith, Alicia Keys and many more. The crew also hosts “Weekends with The Breakfast Club,” a 3-hour weekly program featuring a countdown of the top 20 songs on the charts and signature interviews. Charlamagne Tha God and “The Breakfast Club” were inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 2020.
