Premiering August 17, host Elizabeth Smart brings her unique perspective as a survivor and advocate to powerful conversations with survivors of impossible circumstances

NEW YORK – August 10, 2026 – iHeartPodcasts, the No. 1 podcast publisher globally according to Podtrac, today announced the launch of “The Survivor Files with Elizabeth Smart,” a new weekly true crime anthology podcast hosted by kidnapping survivor and longtime advocate Elizabeth Smart. Co-produced by Marwar Junction Productions, the 48-episode series will premiere August 17, with new episodes released every Monday. Fans can listen to “The Survivor Files” trailer now HERE.

Building on more than two decades of Smart’s advocacy, “The Survivor Files” will bring listeners inside the experiences most people only hear about from the outside. Through a hybrid format that pairs documentary-style storytelling with intimate conversations, the weekly series will follow survivors of abductions, home invasions, assaults and other traumatic events as they share the experiences that changed their lives with host Elizabeth Smart before joining her to explore the lifelong process of healing, justice and reclaiming what violence nearly took away. The series will also include special episodes that invite those at home into the conversation through listener-submitted questions.

“I’m so excited and proud to team up with iHeart and Marwar Junction to launch ‘The Survivor Files with Elizabeth Smart,’” said Smart. “My hope is to honor the extraordinary strength, resilience, hope and courage of survivors. Each of our stories are unique, but so many share a common thread: the strength to keep moving forward in the face of hell. I want this podcast to remind people that we are more than what we experience – and that we are so much stronger than we believed.” 

"Elizabeth's voice has become synonymous with resilience, hope and survivor advocacy,” said Will Pearson, President of iHeartPodcasts. “Through 'The Survivor Files,' she brings a deeply personal perspective to stories that deserve to be told with compassion. We're excited to partner with Elizabeth and Marwar Junction Productions on a series that expands the true crime genre in such a personal and meaningful way."

"We are honored Elizabeth asked us to help her launch this important podcast," said Joseph Freed of Marwar Junction Productions. "These stories have never been more important, and Elizabeth brings them to life with authenticity and care."

About Elizabeth Smart

The abduction of Elizabeth Smart was one of the most followed child abduction cases of our time. Now, Elizabeth Smart is an advocate, author, and founder of the Elizabeth Smart Foundation. After being kidnapped from her Salt Lake City home in 2002 and safely returned to her family nine months later, Smart became one of the country’s most visible voices on child safety, survivor advocacy, trauma recovery, and hope after tragedy. Her recent Netflix documentary was #1 in ten countries, reinforcing the enduring power of her story.

Smart has worked to support child-abduction prevention and recovery efforts, including advocacy around the National AMBER Alert system, the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act, and other safety initiatives. She is the author of the New York Times bestselling memoir My Story and Where There’s Hope, a deeply personal book about healing, resilience, and reclaiming life after trauma. Through her public speaking, writing, advocacy, and media work, Smart continues to use her experience to help survivors feel seen, support families, and encourage communities to remain vigilant in protecting children. Her voice brings compassion, credibility, and lived experience to conversations about survival, justice, and the possibility of life beyond trauma.

Official trailer available HERE

New York – August 5, 2026 – Bloomberg and iHeartPodcasts today announced the launch of “Our Town,” a new investigative podcast series about a small Tennessee town at the center of a fight over American identity. Hosted by award-winning journalist Meribah Knight and Bloomberg Senior Investigative Reporter Susan Berfield, the series debuts August 7. Listen to the trailer here.

When new neighbors move into Gainesboro, Tennessee, a small town at the foothills of Appalachia, locals are confused. They soon discover the new arrivals are connected to a network of far-right Christians who have ties to Washington and are backed by venture capital. As the outsiders' ambitions become clear, longtime Gainesboro residents push back — organizing, speaking out, and refusing to cede the town they've always known. “Our Town” captures that fight as it unfolds –  where acreage, heritage, and what it means to be an American are all up for grabs.

"This is a story about identity, heritage, and what happens when outside money and ideology land on small town soil,” said Susan Berfield, Bloomberg Senior Investigative Reporter. “Those forces are playing out across the country, and this is one place where they collided." 

Through firsthand accounts and on-the-ground reporting, the series will document not just the arrival of an ideological movement, but the community response that ensued. 

“This is a story about a battle over identity—in one small town, and by proxy the country. Who gets to define a community? What does it mean to be an American? Those are some of the biggest questions of this moment,” said co-host Meribah Knight. “Our Town lets you hear that debate play out in the voices of the people living it.” 

New episodes of “Our Town” will be available on Fridays beginning August 7 in the “Big Take” feed and in its own feed on Mondays starting August 10th. The series is available on Bloomberg.com, the iHeartRadio app, and wherever podcasts are available.

Bloomberg produces over 30 podcasts, offering smart analysis, timely insights, and compelling storytelling across business, finance, economics, politics, technology, healthcare, sports, and more. All Bloomberg podcasts are distributed by iHeartPodcasts.

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.

“Delivering Happiness” is available on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard with new episodes dropping on Wednesdays. Clips, highlights and behind-the-scenes moments from the show will also be featured across TikTok.
