The iHeartPodcast Network and Newt Gingrich’s Gingrich 360 team up for a four-year, multi- series deal to launch new conservative-leaning podcasts with millennial and Gen Z voices

The first podcast in the new slate, “Rob Smith is Problematic,” available today 

ARLINGTON, VA and NEW YORK – August 24, 2020 – Building on the successful launch of the “Newt’s World” podcast, Gingrich 360 will co-produce several new podcast series with iHeartMedia for the next generation of conservatives with four new shows set to join the iHeartPodcast Network this year. The first podcast to launch through the new partnership is “Rob Smith Is Problematic,” a weekly podcast available now featuring America’s favorite gay, Black, conservative Veteran. Posting each Tuesday, Smith and his guests will tackle topics and offer unique perspectives you won’t find elsewhere.

The entire slate will focus on finding and cultivating voices and personalities that expand the audience for conservative values with content that informs, entertains and empowers people. Specifically, the shows will feature smart, entertaining personalities who connect with under-represented voices. 

“I enjoy the personal connection and immediacy of podcasting,” said former US House Speaker and Gingrich 360 Chairman Newt Gingrich. “I am excited to expand the Gingrich 360 brand with iHeart to develop and produce series with millennial, African American, Hispanic, and Gen Z voices. They will help define and lead the next generation of Americans as we overcome challenges and find new opportunities.” 

This September, the slate will also debut “Outloud With Gianno Caldwell.” The second podcast in the lineup will share the life lessons Caldwell learned while being raised on the south side of Chicago and inspire listeners to be the victor, not the victim in their own life.

Established podcast, “Newt’s World,” hosted by professor, historian, futurist and former Speaker of the US House of Representatives Newt Gingrich, will also join the iHeartPodcast Network and anchor the upcoming slate. “Newt’s World” has grown to more than six million listens in a short period of time. With three new episodes a week, Newt shares his lifetime of knowledge and access to the world’s most interesting minds. From history to health, and national security to science, “Newt’s World,” offers stories, conversations and context from the past, present, and future to uncover new perspectives, knowledge and insight. 

The partnership will also include the option to extend the content to other platforms such as TV or film as spin offs to the podcast series.

“We are passionate about finding authentic talent and building connections with the audience,” said Gingrich 360 President and CEO Debbie Adler Myers. “Taking these brands to other platforms through the iHeart marketing machine to help expand audiences is a targeted way to get these important voices heard.”

August 18 marks the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment, which guaranteed American women the right to vote, although it would take another 45 years for all women to have full access to voting through the Voting Rights Act of 1965. “Seneca’s 100 Women to Hear” will celebrate these critical moments in American history by focusing on 100 women who have shaped the present and who are designing our future. The podcast will be co-hosted by a trio of Seneca Women leaders: Co-Founder Kim Azzarelli; Co-Founder Ambassador Melanne Verveer, the first U.S. Ambassador for Global Women’s Issues; and Commissioner Sharon Bowen, the first African-American to be appointed as Commissioner of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

“Women’s voices throughout history have often gone unheard. That is why we launched the Seneca Women Podcast Network earlier this year and why we are thrilled today to announce this new ground-breaking series that will amplify the voices of 100 diverse women,” said Kim Azzarelli, Co-Founder of Seneca Women. “There has never been a more important time to hear women’s voices as we face multiple crises and have the opportunity to design a more inclusive future.”

Episodes will include conversations, groundbreaking speeches as well as interviews with historians and experts. For the premiere podcast, Azzarelli speaks with Dr. Daina Ramey Berry, an award-winning historian and professor, who shares important insights about Sojourner Truth. The second episode features a keynote address by Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, during the Girl Up 2020 Leadership Summit.

“We’ve been thrilled by our partnership with Seneca Women and the stories that we are able to tell together,” said Conal Byrne, President of the iHeartPodcast Network. “The ratification of the 19th Amendment and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 were important moments in our history, and we knew that we had to honor them in a special way. ‘Seneca’s 100 Women to Hear’ does a fantastic job sharing the accomplishments of these remarkable women and amplifying their voices for podcast audiences. Listeners from across the world will be able to draw from the experiences of these history makers.”

“Our world is shaped by the voices we listen to, the leaders we pay attention to and the ideas we choose to embrace,” said Marc Pritchard, P&G Chief Brand Officer. “We’re proud to support ‘Seneca’s 100 Women to Hear’ series which brings us powerful insights and inspiration from the diverse life experiences of 100 amazing women. It’s time to listen to more voices, especially the voices of women, to create a more equal, just and better world.”
