The new podcast will also feature surprise celebrity and expert guest appearances to help weigh in on the listeners’ questions.

“iHeartRadio has been a great place for me to share all of my wild, unvarnished thoughts,” said Chelsea Handler. “I’m excited to start this journey with ‘Dear Chelsea’ to help people figure out what they need in life -- I’m more than happy to be that kick in the pants or shove that will give someone a new perspective on a situation and help them to make a decision.”

“Chelsea has been a part of our iHeartPodcast Network family for a few years now and we are thrilled to add ‘Dear Chelsea’ to the iHeartPodcast Network,” said Will Pearson, COO of the iHeartPodcast Network. “Chelsea’s comedic talent is incredible and we believe she will offer listeners great, raw advice to help them find more direction with life’s biggest and smallest questions.”

NEW YORK – April 29, 2021 – iHeartMedia, the leading audio company in America and No. 1 podcast publisher, announced today that it has extended its relationship with top-rated on-air radio personality and community leader Enrique Santos. Under a new five-year agreement, Santos will continue as President and Chief Creative Officer of iHeartLatino as well as morning host on his Spanish nationally-syndicated show originating from TÚ 94.9 in Miami and host of his English weekly nationally-syndicated radio show “On The Move with Enrique Santos.”

“The Latin community listens to radio more than any other group in the U.S., with radio reaching 95 percent of the Latin population nationwide,” said Tom Poleman, Chief Programming Officer and President of National Programming Group for iHeartMedia. “Enrique is an extraordinary talent with the unparalleled ability to connect with listeners and the Latino community across the country. As the President and Chief Creative Officer, Enrique has helped us grow the iHeartLatino multi-platform brand that now connects and engages with tens of millions of Hispanic listeners every month through our broadcast radio stations and digital platforms. Together, we are excited to continue this growth trajectory of our Spanish- and English-speaking Hispanic audiences even further.”

“iHeartMedia’s commitment to serving the needs of the Latin community throughout the nation is unparalleled and I’m honored to continue leading our commitment to our community,” said Santos. “In these times of misinformation, it is more important than ever for our listeners to have unfiltered, honest and credible sources, as well as relatable voices that they trust. We stand committed to continue to unite, lift, entertain and inform our LatinX listeners.”

In addition, Santos will continue to lead the development of iHeartMedia’s Latin-focused content for TV specials and other multimedia platforms. He will also continue to advance iHeartMedia’s efforts to activate the Latin audience across all of the company’s platforms; develop new Latin-focused programming; identify and develop new talent for the company in the Latin arena; and play a major role in iHeartMedia’s marquee live events – including the iHeartRadio Music Awards and the iHeartRadio Music Festival – and will host iHeartLatino’s signature event, the iHeartRadio Fiesta Latina.

Santos was represented in this negotiation by Michel Vega, CEO of Magnus Media, and Alexander Brown and Ravi Seepersad of The Concept Law Group, P.A.

Couples, siblings, BFFs, business partners – Rachel Zoe and her husband of 23 years, Rodger Berman, explore what makes every kind of relationship work on their first-ever podcast. Guests include Jessica Alba & Cash Warren, Tommy Hilfiger & Dee Ocleppo, Nate Berkus & Jeremiah Brent, The Home Edit’s Clea Shearer & Joanna Teplin, and more. 

Los Angeles, CA (April 20, 2021) – Rachel Zoe is known worldwide as a fashion authority and style icon. Now, on her new Cloud10 Media x iHeartRadio podcast, “Works For Us,” she gives listeners a look inside her own relationships. Co-hosted by her husband of 23 years, Rodger Berman, “Works for Us” examines what does (and does not!) make all kinds of relationships work. The podcast lets listeners in on intimate conversations with star duos, including many of Zoe/Berman’s celebrity couple friends, and highlights the raw, honest, and relatable issues that affect their relationships. “Works for Us” will debut today with new episodes airing every Tuesday. Listen to the first episode now on iHeartRadio and everywhere else podcasts are heard.

While her fashionista followers might be surprised that a Rachel Zoe podcast would focus on relationships rather than style, according to Zoe, relationships have always been a key part of her job.

“I wanted to do a podcast centered around relationships because, over the years, people have honestly spent more time talking to me about their relationships – in every sense of the term – than they have talked to me about fashion and style,” said Zoe.

It’s also a natural choice given that Zoe’s success is not limited to her career. She and Rodger Berman have been together for almost thirty years and share two children. Not only has their relationship thrived throughout the challenges of marriage and parenting, but they’ve made it work exceedingly well as business partners: together, they serve as co-CEOs of CURATEUR and Rachel Zoe Inc., where Berman lends the business and financial expertise that has helped Zoe’s brand succeed.

“I always say, behind many successful women there is a really, really good man rooting for them,” said Zoe. “Rodger has always, always, always rooted for me.”

The love and mutual respect they have for each other is evident in every episode of the show.

“Rachel and Rodger have such incredible chemistry, and it’s fun to see that in action on Works For Us,” said Cloud10 Media CEO/executive producer Sim Sarna. “They get so excited about their guests’ stories that they often complete each other’s interview questions.”

While listeners can expect a weekly glimpse into Zoe and Berman’s marriage, and the relationships of their famously coupled friends, the focus of “Works for Us” is not limited to romantic pairings alone. Zoe and Berman will also be chatting with best friends, business partners, siblings, mother/daughter duos and more. As Berman puts it, “We have a pretty low bar about what we will accept as a relationship, so provided you know the other person, we're pretty much happy to talk to you.”

“Works For Us” is distributed by the iHeartPodcast Network and is executive produced by Rachel Zoe, Rodger Berman and Sim Sarna for Cloud10 Media and iHeartMedia. The show will be available on iHeartRadio as well as all other major podcast platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts and more.

“In Fact with Chelsea Clinton” will open up the world of public health through conversations with experts, advocates, celebrities, and more 

Listen to the official trailer now, here.

NEW YORK (April 6, 2021) -- iHeartMedia, the No. 1 podcast publisher globally, announced today “In Fact with Chelsea Clinton,” a new iHeartRadio Original Podcast hosted by former First Daughter and public health expert, Chelsea Clinton. The show will join the iHeartPodcast Network — which includes “You and Me Both with Hillary Clinton” and “Why Am I Telling You This? with Bill Clinton.” Listeners can hear the first episode launching April 13 on iHeartRadio and all major podcast platforms.

“In Fact with Chelsea Clinton” will pull back the curtain on some of the biggest public health challenges of our time. Each week on the podcast, Clinton — who holds a doctorate in international relations, a masters in public health, and teaches at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health — will sit down with experts, activists and an assortment of surprising guests who share her passion for science, evidence and, of course, facts. Through conversations with guests including actress Jane Fonda, Mayor of Atlanta Keisha Lance Bottoms, Mayor of D.C. Muriel Bowser, actor Dax Shepard and more, Clinton will connect the dots between past and present public health crises and highlight stories that demonstrate how public health affects us all. From HIV/AIDS to environmental justice to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, “In Fact with Chelsea Clinton” will leave no topic unexplored.  

In the podcast’s debut episode, Chelsea will sit down with Queer Eye’s Jonathan Van Ness, who has been a vocal advocate for people with HIV/AIDS since publicly sharing his own HIV-positive status in 2019; activist Peter Staley; and Dr. Oni Blackstock, an HIV physician and health equity advocate, to explore the trajectory of HIV/AIDS from the early days of activism through modern day.

“With more attention than ever being paid to public health, we have an opportunity to expand awareness beyond COVID-19 to other real and pervasive issues that impact us all,” said Clinton. “On this podcast, I’m looking forward to bringing conversations with some of the smartest and most interesting people I know to a new audience. From stigma to choice to the environment, my hope is that listeners will walk away from each episode informed, entertained, inspired, and with a better understanding of why public health matters — certainly in this moment and always.”

The iHeartPodcast Network has grown rapidly over the past year and has built up an impressive library of “citizenship” podcasts, which are conversational podcasts focused on news and politics. “In Fact with Chelsea Clinton” will join the company of titles including “The Deciding Decade with Pete Buttigieg,” “How to Citizen with Baratunde,” “Reopening America,” “Contakt World: Truth in Health” and others.

“Chelsea has devoted her career to advancing important discussions around public health, and we’re honored to partner with her on a podcast that will further that important work,” said Conal Byrne, CEO of the iHeartMedia Digital Audio Group. “Her passion for fostering awareness and understanding around these topics makes her a natural arbiter for these conversations. ‘In Fact’ cuts directly through the noise and leaves listeners with the facts.” 

Listeners can visit iHeart.com/apps to download iHeartRadio and listen to the official trailer today on their favorite device.

NEW YORK – April 5, 2021 – New York Times bestselling author and TV personality Nicole Lapin announced today her new daily financial podcast, “Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin,” distributed by the iHeartPodcast Network. “Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin” is a call-in style financial podcast that demystifies money topics for everyday people. The first episode premieres today with daily new episodes airing every Monday through Friday. Listeners can hear the first episode now on iHeartRadio and everywhere podcasts are heard. 

The format of "Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin" centers around answering audience questions. Each week, Nicole will invite a listener to come onto the show for a one-on-one "listener intervention," where she has an extended conversation with the listener about a money issue and gives them advice so they can "rehab" their finances. Additionally, she will interview financial insiders, like an IRS auditor and debt collector, for their confessions and juiciest secrets. Lapin also interviews various trailblazing women celebrities, public figures and entrepreneurs, like fashion designer Rebecca Minkoff, co-founder of Drybar Alli Webb, and television producer Nely Galán.  

"I put myself through my own 'money rehab,' although it wasn't called that when I was getting my financial life together, from living paycheck-to-paycheck to growing my own wealth and teaching others to do the same," Lapin said. "I hope that by being really honest about my mistakes and straight-up about how personal finances work, I can help others do it faster than I did and not make the same mistakes."

"We are thrilled to announce Nicole Lapin's latest iHeartRadio original podcast, 'Money Rehab,'" said Will Pearson, Chief Operating Officer for the iHeartPodcast Network. "Nicole is a financial expert whose advice and teachings empower female audiences. Her podcast is authentic, allowing listeners to hear candid money conversations that were once taboo to discuss, now out in the open, allowing those in need of money advice to get out of their financial trenches. I think our listeners will find the podcast to be very relatable. "

Lapin has built a multimillion-dollar business around creating accessible financial content across media platforms and with her masterclasses "The Money School" and "The Boss School." She is known for being an anchor on CNN, CNBC and Bloomberg. In addition, she also hosted two seasons of the business reality competition show "Hatched" and is the New York Times bestselling author of "Rich Bitch," "Boss Bitch" and "Becoming Super Woman." 

"Money Rehab" is Lapin's second show on the iHeartPodcast Network. Her first podcast series is "Hush Money" that she co-hosted with the editor-in-chief of Entrepreneur Magazine, Jason Feifer.
