“Gimme Timme” Sees the Best Player in College Basketball Break Down the Game from the Inside

Listen now HERE

NEW YORK, N.Y. – November 9, 2022 – iHeartPodcasts and the College Athletes Network (CAN) announced today the debut of “Gimme Timme,” an exciting new show from the most exciting star in college basketball, Gonzaga senior Drew Timme. The weekly podcast expands on iHeartPodcasts’ partnership with CAN to bring college sports-centered podcasts hosted by the athletes themselves to fans. “Gimme Timme” will feature Timme and co-host Noah Buono – a former walk-on at Duquesne University and host of CAN’s "Walkie TalkieZ.”

“Gimme Timme'' is a full-court, fast-break podcast that will take listeners behind the scenes of the college basketball world – and nothing is out of bounds. Follow as Timme and Buono give their honest opinion and commentary during Timme’s exciting last collegiate season. Timme, last year's WCC Player of the Year, hails from Richardson, TX, and was voted college basketball’s best player by a CBS Sports anonymous coaches poll. 

"I’m super excited to do this podcast. It's my senior season and it's going to be a lot of fun,” said Timme. “I can't wait to take people along for the ride. I love listening to Draymond Green's podcast. I want my podcast to have the same angle, just from a college perspective. Listeners will get the Full Drew Experience each and every episode.” 

"Drew Timme is arguably the best player in all of college basketball and in my mind, with NIL and the empowerment behind players continuing to have a voice in the media, he makes a lot of sense as a guy who should have a podcast,” said Buono. “He's a really good dude with a big personality and it's my job as his co-host to help create a space for him to speak freely and unfiltered and I'm excited for the opportunity to be part of it all."

“Gimme Timme” will be distributed by the iHeartPodcasts Network and will be available on the iHeartRadio app and wherever podcasts are heard. For more information on the The College Athletes Network, visit www.thecollegeathletesnetwork.com.

LOS ANGELES, CA – November 8, 2022 – Exile Content Studio and My Cultura, iHeartMedia’s podcast network dedicated to elevating Latinx voices and stories, is launching a new 12-episode series, “The Best Soccer Podcast in the World,” in English and Spanish. The podcast reunites executive producer and host, Exile's Head of Studio, Nando Vila, and producer and writer, Zac Lee Rigg, who together were responsible for Fusion’s weekly magazine show, “The Soccer Gods,” and the political sketch comedy show, “Happy Ending.” Ana Isabel Octavio also serves as the series producer, along with executive producers Rose Reid of Exile and Gisselle Bances and Arlene Santana of iHeartMedia’s My Cultura. The series will be available on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard.

“The Best Soccer Podcast in the World,” timed to coincide with this year’s FIFA World Cup, will guide the listener through the most memorable moments and players of the 92-year-old competition, which has grown into a behemoth commanding a global viewership of 3.5 billion people. The World Cup – where players announce themselves, heroes are born, legends are first whispered, and crowns are forged – is where soccer royalty are anointed. This podcast series will spotlight the great players who have forever changed history's most beloved sports tournament as viewers across the globe get ready to enjoy the 2022 competition taking place in Qatar.

“Soccer is the most popular sport in the world, and every four years, the FIFA World Cup assumes its rightful place as the most anticipated soccer event worldwide, uniting fans across the globe with a celebration of what’s become known as ‘the beautiful game,’ like none other,” said Vila. “That’s why we couldn’t be more excited to launch ‘The Best Soccer Podcast in the World’ at a time when the world is quickly and fervently turning its attention to all things World Cup, and to do our part to satisfy fan’s insatiable demand for high quality, engaging soccer-related content.”

“We’re thrilled that Nando and Zac have teamed up once again for this podcast series, which should be required listening for fans of sports in general, and soccer in particular, as well as podcast fans who are just curious about this global phenomenon,” said Daniel Batista, Exile’s Chief Digital Officer. “Together, they’ve proved to be a team that can break down a world phenomenon like the World Cup in a fun, engaging, and meaningful way, and we know anyone who gets caught up in the fervor of the competition will quickly get caught up in the tales shared in ‘The Best Soccer Podcast in the World.’”

In addition to co-creating and hosting “The Soccer Gods” with Rigg, the Miami-born and raised Vila executive produced, created, and hosted the popular Gimlet Media podcast, “We Came to Win.” Before that, Vila created and hosted “Midterm Mayhem: The Ultimate Political Smackdown” alongside Kal Penn, and he also served as the executive producer of the Emmy®-nominated documentary “The Naked Truth: Trumpland,” which profiled the people who fueled the Trump candidacy. Rigg, who produced Fusion’s most-viewed video, with more than 28 million views, has written for Goal.com, Simon & Schuster, ESPN, Robert Reich, The New York Times, and FourFourTwo.

“The excitement building up to the 2022 World Cup is palpable. We’re excited to bring this show to fans in English and Spanish and build on the importance of generational listening for our growing Latinx audience,” said Gisselle Bances, SVP, Head of Production and Development for iHeartMedia’s My Cultura. “This podcast is for everyone to enjoy and provides a platform for two proven and absolutely engaging storytellers to offer all of us a deep dive into the world of soccer, starting with some of the greatest players to take the field - and the legacies they left behind.”

WHAT: It was the most unlikely art heist of all time. At a 1999 New Year’s Eve party in actor Nicolas Cage’s palatial estate, the unthinkable happened: someone stole one of Cage’s most prized comic books, his priceless copy of Action Comics #1—the first appearance of Superman and the birth of the superhero genre.

Listeners will unravel the story in the iHeartPodcast Original “Stealing Superman” and join host Dana Schwartz as she teams up with the country’s only art detective and one determined comic book dealer to investigate the mysterious theft of the most important comic in the world.

Debuting today, “OBSESSIONS: Wild Chocolate” Takes Listeners Deep into the Amazon to Find the World’s Best – and Rarest – Chocolate 

LISTEN NOW

NEW YORK, N.Y. – October 26, 2022 – iHeartPodcasts, the No. 1 podcast publisher globally according to Podtrac, today announced a new distribution deal with Kaleidoscope, a podcast start-up – led by Oz Woloshyn, an Emmy-award-winning host and producer; and Mangesh Hattikudur, veteran podcast host and development expert – focusing on highly-produced narrative podcasts set in countries ranging from Brazil to Russia. Kaleidoscope’s collaboration with iHeartPodcasts includes an initial slate of six podcasts that tell largely-unknown true stories from different corners of the globe. The slate’s first show “OBSESSIONS: Wild Chocolate” debuts today and follows award-winning food journalist Rowan Jacobson on a trip into the Amazon to find the world’s rarest cacao beans and meet the people quietly making the best chocolate on the planet. 

“This partnership with Kaleidoscope offers iHeartPodcasts an opportunity to collaborate with some of the smartest, most creative producers in podcasting,” said Will Pearson, President of iHeartPodcasts. “We love their team’s focus on incredible stories from around the world and immediately gravitated to the slate Kaleidoscope put in front of us. We can’t wait for audiences to hear this line-up of brilliant shows.”

"We're very excited that iHeart will use its industry-leading reach, relationships with top-tier content creators, and cutting-edge analytics to help amplify these important and compelling stories from across the globe," said Oz Woloshyn, one of Kaleidoscope's two co-founders. "The podcasting industry is growing quickly, but it's still in its infancy. This partnership will create new genres of shows and reach listeners who may not yet be familiar with the rich, immersive storytelling experience that top-tier podcasts can provide."

As part of the collaboration, Kaleidoscope and iHeartPodcasts will release one new fascinating investigative podcast each month for listeners to enjoy. Shows launching over the next few months include:

• “OBSESSIONS: Wild Chocolate” - Available today - is hosted by award-winning food journalist Rowan Jacobson. This weekly podcast is all about the world’s rarest chocolate, Cru Sauvage, which features otherworldly tasting notes  -- place a square on your tongue and it yields “a chocolate fog” with waves of flavor, from leather to pineapple. Centuries ago, when Cortes opened Montezuma’s vault, he found over a million of these purest beans. But since then, the heavenly cacao has become a ghost, untraceable. That is, until Luisa Abram got a tip – deep in the Brazilian Amazon there might be a tiny grove worth the treasure hunt. The catch: she’d have to race there to beat other chocolate hunters, adventure into the heart of the Amazon and risk her life to save the land she loves. New episodes post every Wednesday. Listen now.
• “Skyline Drive” - a weekly podcast that takes a journey through the global obsession with astrology. From the doctor in Dubai who reads palms in utero to determine the exact moment a woman should have a c-section, to the way Nancy and Ronald Reagan first became lured by astrology and then used it guide national policy, to the millions of potential marriages across the globe that are either ended or initiated by the stars, this series peeks under the hood at the culture and business of astrology. Hosted by Mangesh Hattikudur, “Skyline Drive” will premiere November 29 with new episodes each Tuesday.
• “The Good Thief” - the weekly podcast follows Vassilis Palaiokostas, the bank robber known as “Greece’s Robin Hood” with a million Euro bounty on his head. Palaiokostas robs banks for millions and gives the money to the poor; when he kidnaps industrialists -- only those who are known for unfair labor practices -- they give baffling interviews to the press showing how he opened their minds and call him a friend for life; and when he escapes heavily reinforced prisons, as he’s done twice now, he does so by walking onto a helicopter. Palaiokostas is the rarest of masterminds -- a simple man who retreats to monasteries, has no wants aside from a love of 80s action movies and weed and a strong desire to keep robbing the rich to give to the poor. Through rare access, this podcast will give new context to Palaiokostas' background and showcase how one of Interpol’s Most Wanted became Greece’s favorite folk hero. “The Good Thief” will premiere January 2023.
• “Murder in Little Haiti” - a follow-up to the hit podcast “Forgotten: Women of Juarez,” this weekly show once again follows Oz Woloshyn as he and award-winning investigative reporter Ana Arana take up a cold case that continues to haunt Miami’s “Little Haiti” neighborhood. In the early 1990s, three radio DJs were murdered in short order. The detective in charge of the investigation said “These men were killed for words they spoke on the airwaves,” but the murders were never solved, leaving a wound in the Haitian community that is open to this day. Part spy story, part noir, the cold case involves racism, criminal operatives, corruption and drug trafficking, and paints a portrait of Miami as “a forward operating base for the CIA.” Arana first reported on the crimes in the early 1990s and revisits a story that has continued to haunt her, in a community that never receives the media attention that it deserves and needs to stay safe. “Murder in Little Haiti” is set to premiere this February 2023.
