Podcast Spotlight: Looking for a New Show to Listen To? Here’s What’s New in Podcasts This Week!

With so many podcasts being made today, it’s hard to keep up. Luckily, with the help of iHeartRadio’s Podcast Spotlight, you can find something new to listen to every week. Here’s the latest on our iHeartPodcasts including new seasons and episodes:

OBSCURUM: INVASION OF THE DRONES: Dive into season one of this new investigative series -- hosted by Gabe Lenners and executive produced by legendary filmmakers Ron Howard and Brian Grazer through Imagine Entertainment -- that explores an obscure side of rural America. In INVASION OF THE DRONES, listeners are thrust into the chilling origins of mysterious drone sightings over the Midwest. Episodes unravel a wave of unexplained aircraft that rattled Nebraska and Colorado starting in 2019—sparking conspiracy theories, lies and shocking truths. The full story has remained untold—until now. Tune in Tuesdays.

The Set Up: Starring Harvey Guillén ("What We Do in the Shadows") and Christian Navarro ("13 Reasons Why"), this narrative fiction podcast brings listeners along as Juan, a lonely museum curator, meets Fernando on a dating app and thinks he's found the one. He's witty, charming, ridiculously attractive and seems too good to be true -- because he is. Fernando confesses that he's actually a notorious con artist and explains he planned on using Juan to access a famous painting from the museum, but now he thinks the two of them can work together. Juan, faced with the toughest decision of his life, must decide between playing it safe or throwing caution to the wind to join Fernando on one final con. Tune in Wednesdays.

Fighting Words with George M. Johnson: Host George M. Johnson knows how to counterpunch the culture wars -- their memoir ALL BOYS AREN’T BLUE of growing up Black and Queer in America is currently the second-most banned book in America, and that distinction has pushed George to the frontlines of the fight for freedom of expression. This show is George’s chance to bring listeners into the ring with some of today’s most talented, outspoken and courageous creative people, all ready, willing and able to use their words to fight back against intolerance, fear, censorship and marginalization. It’s a conversation that goes deep but stays light – fleet, fast and fearless, and each episode gives George a chance to shine a light on new music, timeless wisdom and some of today’s rising stars. Tune in Tuesdays. 

Plus, a bonus episode from Math & Magic: Stories from the Frontiers of Marketing with Bob Pittman: Dive into the minds of dozens of business titans in this bonus episode highlighting memorable stories and secrets from marketing masters from AT&T CMO Kellyn Smith Kenny to Gwyneth Paltrow and Jon Bon Jovi – what’s inspired them, how they’ve exceeded their career goals and the important lessons they’ve learned along the way. Tune in now.
