iHeartPodcasts Debuts “Whatever It Takes with Carli Lloyd and Jenny Taft,” A New Series Covering Each Week in Sports, Family and What Defines Greatness
NEW YORK – September 10, 2026 – iHeartPodcasts, the No. 1 podcast publisher according to Podtrac, today announced “Whatever It Takes with Carli Lloyd and Jenny Taft,” hosted by longtime friends and broadcast partners Carli Lloyd, iconic two-time World Cup champion and Olympic gold medalist, and Jenny Taft, one of sports television’s premier sideline reporters and studio hosts. The weekly sports and culture show will join the iHeart Soccer Network today, with new episodes available on Thursdays. Fans can hear the first episode now, here.
Each week hosts Carli Lloyd and Jenny Taft will sit down on “Whatever It Takes,” a series where two friends who have been, and continue to be, at the top of their games, will discuss the week in sports, family and the ever-evolving definition of greatness. Becoming champions and top-tier sports broadcasters doesn't come easy and balancing that with motherhood and partnership is a masterclass in resilience.
"Jenny and I have developed a great friendship over the years, and I’m thrilled to team up with her and iHeartPodcasts on this new venture,” said Lloyd. "‘Whatever It Takes’ is a space where we can share our experiences, learn from incredible guests and talk openly about the challenges and triumphs that come with pursuing your goals both on and off the field."
“I first crossed paths with Carli Lloyd while covering the 2015 Women’s World Cup,” said Taft. “From the very beginning, I was struck by the way she carried herself both on and off the pitch; her relentless work ethic and unwavering commitment to greatness remain deeply inspiring. Over the past few years, it has been an absolute privilege to transition from covering Carli’s career to calling her a friend and fellow colleague. It has been equally special to watch her embrace motherhood and navigate this exciting new chapter. Now, we are thrilled to team up with iHeartPodcasts and share our stories—tackling everything from the beautiful game to the realities of being working moms. Ultimately, we are all just trying to figure out how to do whatever it takes to juggle it all, and we cannot wait for everyone to join us on this incredible ride.”
In their premiere episode, Carli Lloyd and Jenny Taft will share the story behind the creation of the podcast, reflect on World Cups past and present, and open-up about balancing career, family and motherhood. It will be an open and authentic conversation about chasing dreams, shifting into new phases of life and what it truly means to do whatever it takes. Throughout the series, the hosts will also welcome special guests including former soccer players and sports analysts Stu Holden and Alexi Lalas to weigh in on all things life and sports.
“Carli and Jenny are legends in their respective fields, but what makes them truly special is that they are also bold, relatable voices people genuinely want to hear from,” said Leo Gomez, head of the iHeart Soccer Network. “We’re thrilled they’re stepping into this new chapter with iHeart and bringing audiences beyond the headlines and highlight reels. Get ready to be inspired by their professional journeys, their personal stories and the remarkable guests joining them along the way.

iHeartMedia Announces “Big Kick Energy with Cameron Dicker and Timothy Tillman,” a New Podcast Bridging the Worlds of Football and Soccer
The weekly series, premiering September 11, breaks down the biggest moments across soccer and football through the lens of two active pros
NEW YORK – September 8, 2026 – iHeartPodcasts, the No. 1 podcast publisher according to Podtrac, today announced “Big Kick Energy with Cameron Dicker and Timothy Tillman,” a new weekly sports podcast hosted by Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker, who holds the highest career field-goal percentage in NFL history, and Los Angeles Football Club midfielder Timothy Tillman. The series will premiere Friday, September 11, with new episodes available every Friday on the iHeartRadio app and wherever podcasts are heard.
Built for fans who love all forms of football, the podcast brings together two professional athletes from opposite sides of the sports world for candid conversations and expert analysis spanning soccer, football and the culture surrounding both. From the pressure of a game-winning field goal to the tension of a penalty kick, Dicker and Tillman will break down the technique, mentality and moments that can decide a match in seconds.
“I am so excited about the launch of ‘Big Kick Energy’. Soccer was the first sport I fell in love with growing up, and ultimately it’s what led me to kicking and my career in the NFL,” said Dicker. “This podcast gives me the opportunity to come full circle and share my true passion for the game of soccer, while hopefully giving something back to the sport that has given me so much. I’m excited to blend my love for soccer and football in one place, share some fun stories, and have conversations with great guests from across the game. What better way to grow your fandom than to learn not only how the game works, but more importantly, about the people who make it what it is.”
With access and perspective shaped by their careers at the highest levels of their respective sports, Dicker and Tillman will take listeners beyond the highlights each week. The duo will react to the biggest storylines across the global game, unpack what fans may miss from the stands and bring listeners inside the experiences of professional athletes, all through the perspective of two lifelong fans who simply love talking ball.
"For me, soccer has always been about more than just what happens on the field,” said Tillman. “It’s brought me so many great experiences, friendships, and memories, and has taught me a lot about teamwork, discipline, resilience, and being part of something bigger. But most importantly, soccer should be fun. That’s what we want to bring to this podcast. Good vibes, real conversations, great guests, and a love for the game, while making soccer more accessible and fun for everyone."
Dicker, the most accurate kicker in NFL history, brings a rare perspective to the show. Raised in Shanghai, China, where he developed a lifelong love of soccer, Dicker went on to become one of the NFL’s premier specialists. Now with the Los Angeles Chargers, his understanding of kicking mechanics and performing under pressure gives him a unique lens on the defining moments of both sports. Away from the field, he remains an avid soccer supporter who has spent years following the game from the stands.
Tillman brings the perspective of a player shaped by soccer on two continents. After developing in Germany’s elite youth system, including time with Bayern Munich, he built his professional career in Germany before joining the Los Angeles Football Club in Major League Soccer. As a midfielder, Tillman brings first-hand insight from inside the locker room, on the training ground and under the stadium lights, pairing technical analysis with the perspective of someone who grew up as a fan before becoming a professional.
"We’re not just making a sports show, we’re blowing the doors off what a sports show can be,” said Leo Gomez, Head of the iHeart Soccer Network. “Two iconic young voices. Two leagues. Two massive fanbases. One stage, coming together to celebrate soccer. That only happens because soccer culture is getting bigger, louder, and more undeniable every day. This show isn’t just part of that growth... it’s the receipt"
“Big Kick Energy with Cameron Dicker and Timothy Tillman” is distributed by iHeartPodcasts and will be available on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard on September 11.

iHeartMedia’s My Cultura Podcast Network and SMAC Productions Announce “No Safe Words with October and Tony Gonzalez,” a Podcast Focused on Honest Conversations About Authentic Relationships
In the new weekly podcast premiering September 1, October and Tony Gonzalez take listeners behind closed doors as they bring on other couples in the public eye for honest conversations on navigating real-life relationship struggles, laughing through the chaos, and making love last
NEW YORK — August 25, 2026 — My Cultura, iHeartMedia’s podcast network dedicated to elevating Latino voices and stories, and SMAC Productions today announced “No Safe Words with October and Tony Gonzalez,” a new weekly podcast premiering September 1 that will peel back the realities of long-term relationships through honest, unfiltered conversations with high-profile and celebrity couples. Fans can hear the official audio trailer now here.
Married for more than 20 years, television host, and TV personality October Gonzalez and her husband, Pro Football Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez, know firsthand that a great relationship isn't born – it's built. From managing a dynamic blended family to balancing life in the media, they bring decades of real-world experience to "No Safe Words." Together with their guests, Tony and October deliver an unfiltered look at modern marriage, giving listeners a real look into the messy and beautiful work of staying connected.
“Relationships aren’t something you just get lucky with; they’re actively built through constant hard work every single day with your partner, across all areas,” said Tony and October Gonzalez. “In our time together, we’ve seen it all—big life transitions, having kids and combining families, weathering media attention, and more. A lot of couples don’t talk about these things because they’re afraid, but we’ve learned that being completely honest with each other actually makes things so much easier. We don’t have all the answers, though, and we’re still learning new things about communication every day. We’re looking forward to learning right alongside our listeners about different ways we can communicate deeper and grow together no matter what stage we’re at.”
Part memoir, part comedy and part relationship revolution, "No Safe Words" will create space for authentic conversations about love, conflict, communication, parenting and evolving together through life's different seasons.
“October and Tony are legends in their own worlds, and the relationship they’ve built resonates because it’s rooted in honesty, growth and authenticity,” said Leo Gomez, Head of iHeartMedia’s My Cultura Podcast Network. “Bringing them together to share personal stories and candid conversations about love, marriage and family creates something truly rare—and potentially as iconic as the two of them. With ‘No Safe Words,’ listeners will get access to a side of their lives that is seldom shared publicly. We’re proud to welcome them to My Cultura and continue expanding our slate with voices that reflect the depth, influence and diversity of our community.”
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.

iHeartMedia and Oscar-nominated Filmmaker Michael Epstein Launch “Fault Line: Haditha,” a Weekly Limited-Series True Crime Podcast That Re-Examines One of the Most Controversial Incidents of the Iraq War
The 13-episode investigative series created in partnership with Crowd Network and High Road Entertainment delves into the killing of 24 Iraqi civilians by U.S. Marines
NEW YORK – AUGUST 24, 2026 – iHeartPodcasts, the No. 1 podcast publisher according to Podtrac, and the Oscar-nominated filmmaker Michael Epstein today announced the launch of “Fault Line: Haditha,” a 13-episode investigative podcast and companion documentary series that re-examines one of the most controversial incidents of the Iraq War and the two-decade fight over what happened, who should be held accountable and whether the full truth was ever allowed to emerge.
On November 19, 2005, 24 Iraqi civilians were killed by U.S. Marines in the city of Haditha. The killings would become the subject of the longest and most expensive criminal investigation in U.S. military history, drawing international scrutiny and raising questions about accountability within the military.
At the center of “Fault Line: Haditha” is former NCIS Special Agent Michael Maloney, who was assigned to investigate the killings. As Maloney pursued the case, he encountered political pressure, disputed testimony and what he came to believe were efforts by senior officials to undermine the investigation. His pursuit of the case would ultimately come at a significant cost to his career.
Twenty years later, Epstein returns to Haditha to examine what happened and what followed. Produced in collaboration with Crowd Network and High Road Entertainment, the series draws on years of reporting, documentary footage and extensive interviews to reconstruct the killings, the NCIS investigation, the subsequent legal proceedings and the lasting impact on the Marines involved and the Iraqi families whose lives were changed that day.
Each podcast episode will be accompanied by an original film on YouTube featuring extended scenes, archival material and interviews that expand upon the audio investigation. The footage includes interviews with Marines involved in the incident, NCIS investigators who worked the case and the sole surviving Iraqi eyewitness, who lost members of her family in the killings.
“This is a new kind of storytelling, a serialized investigation you hear on a podcast and then watch on YouTube. This isn't just a video version of the audio. These are two distinct experiences that complement each other,” said Epstein. “As a filmmaker and a journalist, the most exciting thing for me is that there is no gatekeeper. I am able to take my investigation and all the revelations I’ve uncovered directly to a global audience.”
Epstein is an Academy Award-nominated documentary filmmaker and podcast producer whose work has earned two George Foster Peabody Awards, two Primetime Emmy Awards and a Writers Guild of America Award. His films have screened at the Sundance Film Festival, Berlin International Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and New York Film Festival. His credits include “The Battle Over Citizen Kane,” “LENNONYC” and “John & Yoko: Above Us Only Sky.” His 2020 investigative podcast “Murder in House Two” reached No. 1 on Apple Podcasts’ True Crime chart in the UK.
“‘Fault Line: Haditha’ represents the kind of ambitious investigative storytelling that podcasts are uniquely suited to deliver,” said Will Pearson, President of iHeartPodcasts. “Michael has spent years examining this story, bringing together firsthand accounts, extensive reporting and remarkable access to revisit questions that have remained unresolved for two decades. We’re proud to partner with Michael, Crowd Network and High Road Entertainment to bring this important investigation to audiences across both audio and video.”
“Over the last two decades, there have been hundreds of reported stories that sought to tell the truth of what happened in Haditha,” said Michael Carr, CEO, Crowd Network. “But Michael approached this tragedy differently. He never stopped questioning. He never stopped searching for the truth. His relentless passion and gift for storytelling reveal themselves not only in this podcast, but in the companion films that let audiences see this story, not just hear it.”
“Michael and I have worked together on this story of Haditha for many years now, driven by a shared vision of getting it heard as far and wide as possible,” said Richard Tulk-Hart, co-CEO, High Road Entertainment. “The more recent developments of this highly emotional and complex case have allowed for the podcast to come together in this unique format combining audio and documentary footage, and iHeart's support has been instrumental. Conversations are now underway to bring the remarkable story to our screens, continuing to allow these voices to be heard.”
“Fault Line: Haditha” is distributed by iHeartPodcasts and is available on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard. Video episodes will be available on YouTube.
