A version of Queen’s Classic Hit Song, “Bohemian Rhapsody,” in its entirety to Play Across More Than 650 iHeartMedia Music Radio Stations Nationwide on November 1 at 9 a.m. Local Time

New York, NY – October 25, 2018 – iHeartMedia, the leading audio company in America which also has a greater reach in the U.S. than any other media outlet, today announced it will celebrate the release of the Twentieth Century Fox and Regency Enterprises film, “Bohemian Rhapsody,” about the life of iconic rock band, Queen with a first ever nationwide song roadblock on November 1 at 9 a.m. across more than 650 iHeartMedia music stations and websites nationwide.

As part of the largest song roadblock in history, all 650-plus iHeartMedia music stations and websites nationwide will play an entire six-minute version of Queen’s iconic hit song, “Bohemian Rhapsody,” at 9 a.m. local time, providing unprecedented instant awareness for the film’s November 2 release.

In addition, iHeartMedia has enlisted some of the biggest names in music to share special tributes about how Queen impacted their music careers and lives on iHeartRadio.com/BohemianRhapsody. Local iHeartMedia stations throughout the country will also air promos and brand spots to count down the days until “Bohemian Rhapsody” is in theaters and remind fans about the roadblock. The promotion will also include an all-day digital takeover across the iHeartRadio network, including iHeart.com and station websites, featuring streaming audio and banners.

“There’s an amazing moment in ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ where the executive at EMI Records, Ray Foster, says that radio will never play ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ because it’s too long,” said Tom Poleman, Chief Programming Officer for iHeartMedia. “He obviously was wrong. We’re thrilled to help celebrate Queen and this incredible film with a first-ever massive roadblock that only a company with iHeartMedia’s unparalleled reach could achieve.”

Bohemian Rhapsody is a foot-stomping celebration of Queen, their music and their extraordinary lead singer Freddie Mercury. Freddie defied stereotypes and shattered convention to become one of the most beloved entertainers on the planet. The film traces the meteoric rise of the band through their iconic songs and revolutionary sound. They reach unparalleled success, but in an unexpected turn Freddie, surrounded by darker influences, shuns Queen in pursuit of his solo career. Having suffered greatly without the collaboration of Queen, Freddie manages to reunite with his bandmates just in time for Live Aid. While bravely facing a recent AIDS diagnosis, Freddie leads the band in one of the greatest performances in the history of rock music. Queen cements a legacy that continues to inspire outsiders, dreamers and music lovers to this day.

“This nationwide celebration of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ will allow multiple generations of music lovers to enjoy the work of the incomparable QUEEN and the late Freddie Mercury,” said Twentieth Century Fox Marketing executives Julie Rieger and Michelle Marks. “From lifelong QUEEN fans to those hearing the song for the first time, listeners across the country will be able experience the eclectic energy of this undeniably groundbreaking group through this exciting partnership with iHeartMedia.

Launching on November 7, Stuff You Should Know co-host Josh Clark explores the future of humanity and the imminent dangers that lie ahead  

NEW YORK-- October 17, 2018 -- iHeartMedia, the No. 1 commercial podcast publisher globally with over 20,000 podcasts available on its platform, today announced the upcoming launch of The End of the World in collaboration with HowStuffWorks. The new podcast will be hosted by Josh Clark, co-host of the award-winning podcast Stuff You Should Know. On the new show, Josh will discuss the existential risks humankind faces and assess how they may be coming in the form of the technology we’re beginning to develop today. He will be joined by a number of experts across the podcast’s ten episodes, from astrobiologists to philosophers to economists and transhumanists. Fans can hear the official trailer now.

The first three episodes of The End of the World With Josh Clark debuts on November 7 and subsequent episodes will air weekly each Wednesday and Friday. Clark’s compelling and insatiable curiosity will guide listeners through a dark debate around the astoundingly odd and unique nature of human intelligence and how that might either destroy or save the species. The podcast will discuss pending threats to human life and the importance of mastering emerging technology – like high-energy physics, risky biotech experiments, and nanotechnology – in order to secure a future for humanity that could last for billions of years. The episodes in the series focus on fascinating and cerebral concepts like the Fermi paradox, artificial intelligence, digital consciousness and something called the Great Filter – which may or may not spell the end of the human race in the next century or two.

“Over the course of creating this series, I’ve gone from just interested in this stuff to coming to believe that humanity is in real danger of going extinct by our own hand soon,” said Josh Clark, host of The End of the World. “During these ten episodes on The End of the World, I hope listeners will come to see it too and that we’ll all start to do something about it.” 

For the past ten years, Clark has co-hosted 1,100 episodes of  Stuff You Should Know, which have generated more than 900 million downloads across the world and built an immense fan-following for the show and his unique style. In addition to the on-demand podcast, Clark has hosted live shows in cities across the U.S., Canada, U.K., Ireland, New Zealand and Australia. A 12-minute version of the podcast titled Short Stuff was recently released as well. 

“Josh is an excellent storyteller who has engaged and excited fans for many years with his iconic show Stuff You Should Know,” said Conal Byrne, President of iHeartMedia’s Podcasting Division. ”We’re thrilled to have him join the iHeartRadio Podcast Network as he continues to delight both his loyal fans and new listeners with this show, which tackles a fascinating and daunting topic — whether the human race might accidentally drive itself to extinction.”

The iHeartRadio Original scripted podcast series for teens debuts October 29 with two episodes

NEW YORK – October 15, 2018 – iHeartMedia, the No. 1 commercial podcast publisher globally with more than 20,000 podcasts available on its platform, and Einhorn’s Epic Productions (“EEP”), an entertainment creative house that builds heroic franchise intellectual property, today gave a first look into Lethal Lit, an iHeartRadio Original scripted mystery podcast, with the release of the official trailer. Lethal Lit will debut October 29 with two episodes and subsequent episodes will air each Monday. Listeners can hear the official trailer here.

Lethal Lit is a six-episode scripted podcast that follows teen detective Tig Torres as she returns to her small hometown of Hollow Falls where her aunt was framed as a serial killer ten years ago. Tig explores the mystery of the Lit Killer murders, each based on a murder from classic literature, and documents her findings on her own true crime podcast. But as she gets closer to the truth, the killings begin all over again — with her as the final target.

“We announced the debut of Lethal Lit back in May and we can’t wait to see how this unique podcast is received when it’s released on October 29th,” said Chris Peterson, Executive Vice President of Podcasting at iHeartMedia. “There’s never been a more exciting time for podcasting than now and I speak for the entire team when I say we are absolutely delighted and energized by the potential and opportunity in this space. Lethal Lit introduces a new podcast format and audience for us, and it’s just the beginning of our larger effort to expand and diversify the types of shows iHeartRadio will offer.”

Rebecca Soler will play the lead role of Tig Torres — a strong, smart, independent Cuban-American teen detective who is fascinated by classic literature and true crime. Additional voices to be played by JB Blanc, Matt Gumley, Paul Guyet, Jennifer Jiles, Rachel Oremland, Alba Ponce de Leon, Luke Slattery and Shelly Shenoy. Heather Einhorn, Adam Staffaroni, Alex Segura and Monica Gallagher co-created the series with each episode written by Segura and Gallagher; directed by JB Blanc; and produced by Einhorn, Staffaroni and Aroop Sanakkayala for EEP, Segura and Gallagher, and Sandy Smallens and Chris Peterson for iHeartMedia.

“Creating Lethal Lit has been an amazing experience” said Heather Einhorn, CEO of EEP, “The young adult podcast audience has been largely overlooked, so we’re especially excited to bring a strong, female heroic character to life in this exciting new format.”
