NEW YORK – March 8, 2024 – In celebration of International Women’s Day, Hello Sunshine, a part of Candle Media, and iHeartPodcasts, the No. 1 podcast publisher according to Podtrac, announced today they have teamed up to launch “The Bright Side” – an innovative, new, female-led audio project that will inspire listeners and add joy to their morning routines. Debuting March 25, “The Bright Side” is co-hosted by journalist, TV host and podcaster, Danielle Robay and Emmy-nominated journalist, host and producer, Simone Boyce who will deliver a daily morning show-style podcast created to inspire, educate and empower women as they tackle life each day. This new format will bring the Hello Sunshine community together for a daily dose of entertainment, culture, wellness, fashion, books and more. The announcement was made today during a conversation at the SXSW Festival in Austin, TX.

Reese Witherspoon will serve as executive producer on the podcast alongside Maureen Polo and Natalie Tulloch for Hello Sunshine; and Ali Perry and Conal Byrne for iHeartPodcasts.

“The Bright Side” is a funny, approachable and intimate forum that will tackle life with optimism. Committed to exploring the world through a female-centered lens, Robay and Boyce will share fresh, nuanced and playful perspectives on everything from pop culture to wellness, lifestyle and beyond. For 30 minutes each day, listeners will join the hosts as they share the bright side of life, alongside experts and celebrity guests.

“We have found that our audience makes it a point to seek out positivity in their personal and digital lives with 59% of female consumers agreeing that they want content that makes them feel joyful,” said Maureen Polo, Head of Direct-to-Consumer at Hello Sunshine. “Podcasting offers a level of thoughtful engagement you can’t really get in other media types, which is why it is such a perfect medium to launch ‘The Bright Side.’ We have been tracking the exploding podcast medium for a while – seeing new audiences, formats and genres everyday – and know that iHeartPodcasts is the best partner given its unmatched production, marketing and sales acumen at a level few others in media can deliver.”

“Hello Sunshine is the perfect partner for this ambitious project, given their incredible sense of cultural issues and trends, and their astute, highly engaged fanbase,” said Will Pearson, President of iHeartPodcasts. “Podcasting has managed to reinvent a few genres now – from fiction to sports to health and wellness – and we believe it can also innovate on this idea of a daily “morning show,” a format that is prevalent in TV, but is still missing in the podcast medium. With Reese and her team at the creative helm, we are excited to launch this show together.”

“The Bright Side” will be distributed by iHeartPodcasts, which is home to more than 850 original podcasts with over 200 million downloads each month. iHeartPodcasts span every category from business, sports, spirituality and technology to entertainment, family, comedy and true crime—and everything in between—making iHeart the largest publisher of podcast content in the world.

Los Angeles — March 6, 2024: "Finally! A Show" about women that isn’t a thinly veiled aspirational nightmare launches on March 13 produced by Bradley Cooper’s Lea Pictures, iHeartPodcasts, and Jane Marie’s Little Everywhere. The new show has no host, no narrator, and no interviews. Each 30-minute episode of the fifteen-episode season invites listeners to hang out with a different woman as she takes you through her day.

Social media marketing and influencer culture relies on keeping women in a perpetual state of aspiring to be someone else. "Finally! A Show" features women’s lives as they actually are. Executive Producer Jane Marie, known for “The Dream, Michelle Obama: The Light Podcast” and “This American Life” said, “Reality TV is a guilty pleasure for me because it’s fun to be a fly on the wall in other lives, with all of their messy feelings and unexpected twists, but we all know it’s fake, or at least highly scripted and edited. ‘Finally! A Show’ has 100% more reality, and it’s just refreshing to hear women talk uninterrupted without being coached to fit a narrative, and without feeling like I’m being told how to live.”

The new podcast’s subjects include an 83-year-old calendar girl shopping for a vibrator, a fish-throwing songstress delighting the crowd at an outdoor market, a young mother turned death care provider, and a TikTok viral plus-size boutique owner. Listeners will encounter cats both domestic and feral, ballroom culture, abortion pills, and a giant typewriter at a crematorium – all just part of the unique architecture of a day in a woman’s life in America.

“Finally! A Show" is distributed by iHeartPodcasts and can be heard on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are found.

Vanessa Hudgens kicks-off first episode under iHeartPodcasts this Wednesday 3/6

NEW YORK – March 4, 2024 – iHeartPodcasts, the No. 1 podcast publisher according to Podtrac, together with host and creator Emily Tisch Sussman announce that her award-winning podcast, “She Pivots” is now a part of the iHeartPodcast Network. Vanessa Hudgens will kick off the new partnership as the first episode under iHeartPodcasts this week.

An award-winning show, “She Pivots” is aimed at redefining women’s success stories. In a world where conventional notions of achievement often revolve around linear career paths, the show spotlights the real-life experiences of remarkable women who have shown that success is not defined by a one-size-fits-all formula. New episodes will be released weekly on Wednesdays and feature inspiring women who have gone through life-altering pivots and perspective shifts. 

Host and creator Emily Tisch Sussman gives listeners a peek inside the lives of powerhouse women with interviews from Vice President Kamala Harris, Brooke Shields, Allyson Felix, Priyanka Chopra, and Bobbi Brown, while also debuting never-before-heard stories from guests like trans Navy Veteran Paula M. Neira or fundamentalist cult survivor, Susi Massey. For Season Three, “She Pivots” will bring together a unique collection of interesting and influential women to tell the stories of the personal moments that lead up to their pivot, creating a space for women to embrace the full spectrum of their experiences. Guests for season three include actress turned entrepreneur Vanessa Hudgens, ballet dancer Misty Copeland, fashion designer Rebecca Minkoff, “Moms Demand Action” founder Shannon Watts and more. The podcast will shed light on the recognition that pivots are not setbacks but stepping stones to new success. 

“She Pivots is changing the cultural conversation around how women talk about and think about their careers," said Sussman. “I am excited to join forces with the No. 1 podcast publisher, iHeartPodcasts, and continue to make a show that inspires and empowers women to trust their instincts and skills. I want women to know that everything you have done has given you the toolkit you need to make your pivot. You have everything you need inside of you, and I can’t wait to showcase the stories of women who have proven just that in season three.” 

Sussman started “She Pivots” after leaving her decade-long career in DC politics and having three kids in just four years. Walking away from the career she loved - a career that gave her purpose and sense of value - created a deep sense of loss. That’s why Sussman decided to start “She Pivots” to hear stories from other women who experienced a significant, personal change that led them to reimagine their careers and lives. She has been able to redefine what success means to her and has made it her mission to give permission to other women to do the same. 

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