iHeartPodcasts, the No. 1 podcast publiNative Land Pod” hosted by Angela Rye, Tiffany D. Cross and Andrew Gillum. The iHeartRadio original podcast series will embark on a journey of reflection, taking stock of the news of the week during the country’s road to the polls in 2024. New episodes will be released weekly each Thursday beginning January 11. Listeners can hear the official audio trailer now.
“This new, groundbreaking podcast brings together an electrifying ensemble of hosts, hailing from a wide range of media backgrounds,” said Will Pearson, President of iHeartPodcasts. “As we head into an election year, we’re excited to see how ‘Native Land Pod’ elevates the political discourse and empowers listeners with new knowledge and diverse perspectives.”
Each week Angela Rye, award-winning television host, social justice advocate, lawyer, commentator and self-described “bringer of truth;” Tiffany Cross, television personality, political analyst and author; and Andrew Gillum, former mayor of Tallahassee, Florida, and fierce advocate for fair and just public policy reforms, will provide sharp political insights, navigate the intricate dance between past and present, and weave together a narrative of hope and empowerment for listeners across the country.
“Launching ‘Native Land Pod’ before one of the most consequential elections in our lifetime is our mandate,” said Rye. “Being able to co-host along with friends who have become family to talk about political and social issues from our perspective is an honor. This is a weekly show you do not want to miss!”
In the premiere episode, the trio will discuss the kickoff to a crucial election year, challenges in the current American body politic and their personal stories from navigating the landscape of the cable news industry including their own time in the headlines.
“The cable news industry has stubbornly refused to speak to the rising majority of America. That’s where we come in,” said Cross. “I’m thrilled to join my co-hosts in informative discussions that speak authentically to listeners from Capitol Hill to corner offices, from cyphers on the block to the Sunday brunch crowd. We are your relatable political group chat where news is digestible and speaks directly to you.”
“I’m excited to join Angela and Tiffany for some much-needed tough talk about our politics, our people and our collective work to reshape the way political conversations are had that ultimately inspires listeners to do the work that leads to our greater freedom and political liberation,” said Gillum. “Listeners can expect to be invited into our conversations and finally find a home where their lived experiences are reflected and where their ideas are validated. Welcome home.”
“Native Land Pod” will be the flagship show for an all-new political podcast network, Reasoned Choice Media, set to launch later this year. The network will provide a platform for diverse voices and perspectives throughout the 2024 U.S. presidential election cycle.
“Native Land Pod” is distributed by iHeartPodcasts and will be available on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard.
