Reality star and former NFL-player husband co-host new podcast that takes a fun look at parenting and relationships with topics ranging from preparing for labor and delivery to maintaining a sex life

NEW YORK, July 18, 2018 – Monique Samuels, star of “The Real Housewives of Potomac,” and iHeartMedia, the leading media company in America with a greater reach in the U.S. than any other media outlet, announced today a new weekly iHeartRadio Original podcast Not For Lazy Moms based on Samuels’ popular lifestyle and parenting website by the same name. Fans can stream episodes beginning Aug. 1 on iHeartRadio or download everywhere podcasts are available.

Being a parent in today’s world isn’t easy and moms and dads face challenges every day. From babies who won’t go to bed to teenagers who won’t get out of bed, parents have to deal with it all. And if they’re lucky, they may get an occasional dinner out or maybe even a weekend trip to recharge. To help parents everywhere, the Not for Lazy Moms podcast is coming to the rescue.

The reality television star is joining forces with her husband, former Washington Redskins star athlete Chris Samuels, to bring parents across the country some relief and let them know they are not alone. The podcast will also feature Aly Jacobs, a first-time mom who is the complete opposite of Samuels, and “Cousin Hank” Davis, a forever bachelor who gives his perspective from the eyes of a man with no children or desire to be in a relationship. The weekly Not for Lazy Moms podcast is co-produced by iHeartMedia and will release new episodes every Wednesday.

“We’re excited to team up with iHeartRadio to launch our podcast. Chris and I are parents of two young children with a third one on the way, and not a week goes by when at some point we don’t feel overwhelmed, exhausted or frustrated,” said Samuels. “This podcast is to let parents know we all have moments when we question whether we can do it all and make it through the day. I hope the ‘Not for Lazy Moms’ podcast will not only provide support, information and resources but also make listeners smile and let parents know everything is going to be OK.”

“Not for Lazy Moms is a destination for moms and dads alike who sometimes just need a little help keeping it all together,” said Chris Peterson, Senior Vice President of Podcasting for iHeartRadio. “There is a lack of podcasts throughout the industry that really help women – and men – embrace the challenges of everyday life. Balancing work and parenting while maintaining a healthy relationship is something many of our listeners struggle with, so joining forces with Monique to make ‘Not for Lazy Moms’ into a podcast was an easy decision. She’s a true natural in the studio and we’re excited to bring her words of wisdom to iHeartRadio listeners.”

The Not for Lazy Moms podcast is an extension of Samuels popular website,www.NotforLazyMoms.com. Samuels and her husband Chris will share stories about overcoming obstacles, open up about everyday challenges and discuss ideas and advice for keeping a marriage spicy. Each approximately 45-minute episode will zero in on topics parents think about regularly, such as how to be your own health advocate, preparing for labor and delivery, parent jealousy and maintaining your sex life after having children. The podcast is light, fun and will have listeners nodding along to the comical things all parents go through, but none like to admit.

iHeartMedia is the largest publisher of podcasts in the country with more than 750 original shows available on the iHeartRadio Podcast Network. With iHeartRadio, listeners can enjoy their music and podcasts across more than 250 unique device platforms including in-car, in-home, on wearables, across gaming consoles and more – making their favorite audio content available everywhere they are, on the devices they use most.

Linda Byrd, Scott Hopeck, Brian Olson and Jeff Tyler will expand their current Region President roles to include Division President responsibilities -- joining current Division Presidents Kevin LeGrett and Tom McConnell -- and will report to Greg Ashlock, President of the iHeartMedia Markets Group.

“These solutions are in response to the needs articulated by our advertising partners,” he continued. “We now have solutions for the largest all the way to the smallest of our partners which will enable us to continue to both expand our platforms and build products that only a company of our scale can accomplish.”

iHeartMedia also announced that in addition to his Division President responsibilities, LeGrett has been named Executive Vice President of Operations for the Markets Group, reporting to Ashlock.

“I can’t believe it’s been three years since I embarked on this incredible journey with iHeartMedia to bring ‘Big Boy’s Neighborhood’ to my listeners on iHeartRadio’s Real 92.3, and now across broadcast radio stations nationwide,” said Big Boy. “Words can’t express how excited I am to bring the Neighborhood to millions of viewers through this television partnership with Fuse.”

“ANNA FARIS IS UNQUALIFIED” Podcast to Reach Millions of New Listeners Across the Country Through Collaboration with iHeartMedia

NEW YORK – June 26, 2018 -- iHeartMedia, the leading media company in America with a greater reach in the U.S. than any other media outlet, today announced a first-of-its-kind agreement with actor Anna Faris to bring her hit podcast, “Anna Faris is Unqualified,” to Top 40 broadcast radio and the iHeartRadio Podcast Network.

“Unqualified” features interviews with celebrities and cultural figures who tackle a variety of topics such as dating and relationships, in addition to taking phone calls from listeners seeking relationship advice. Faris created the podcast with her long-time friend and co-host Sim Sarna, who produces the show and runs the production company, Unqualified Media.

Leveraging its “Podcast, Meet Broadcast” strategy, iHeartMedia has struck a groundbreaking deal with Unqualified Media to produce a long-form “Anna Faris is Unqualified” radio program which will air weekends across Top 40 broadcast radio stations nationwide. This unique initiative will expose Faris’ podcast to iHeartMedia’s unparalleled broadcast radio audience, allowing it to reach millions of new listeners across the country. In addition, iHeartMedia will create short-form content which will air weekdays promoting “Anna Faris is Unqualified” nationwide.

Additionally, “Anna Faris is Unqualified” will officially partner with iHeartRadio Podcast Network to provide exclusive podcast content just for iHeartRadio listeners.

“I am absolutely thrilled to be partnering with iHeartMedia to bring “Unqualified” to millions of new listeners,” said Faris. “At “Unqualified”, we pride ourselves on generally not knowing what we are doing, and it seems iHeart is willing to accept our values and form this expansive partnership with us. Being able to embarrass Sim to millions of new listeners is simply a dream come true.”

“We are so excited to introduce our podcast to millions of new listeners that may not have known that Anna Faris had a podcast – or even what a podcast is,” said Sarna. “We hope that by working with iHeartMedia, we can give even more people deeply unqualified advice.”

“As big fans of Anna Faris and “Unqualified,” we know this series is the perfect partner to launch this Podcast-to-Broadcast opportunity,” said Chris Peterson, Senior Vice President of Podcasting for iHeartMedia. “We can help podcasts like ‘Anna Faris is Unqualified’ scale in a big way by introducing them to our quarter of a billion broadcast listeners each month. While podcasting continues to grow on iHeartRadio and across the industry, nearly three-quarters of the country still do not listen to podcasts. We have the ability to reach those listeners through radio’s massive reach, helping to introduce podcasts to the vast majority of people often for the first time.”

iHeartMedia’s “Podcast, Meet Broadcast” initiative works with podcast creators to scale their shows using iHeartMedia’s massive reach through broadcast radio, which sees more than 90 percent of Americans tuning in to its stations each month, and introduces these listeners to a variety of podcast content to which they may not have otherwise been exposed.
