iHeartMedia and Recount Partner for Political Podcast Series
Variety
The Recount and iHeartMedia are loading up on political podcasts in advance of the presidential election.
Recount and the radio giant have teamed to co-produce a series of weekly podcasts leading up to Election Day on Nov. 3.
Hell and High Water with John Heilemann, Battleground with David Plouffe and Steve Schmidt and Just Something About Her with Jennifer Palmieri are the first three podcasts to come from the partnership.
Getting smart on politics is no longer optional, said Nomi Ernst Leidner, executive VP of programming and development for Recount. Partnering with iHeartMedia enables us to venture into podcasts and continue producing high quality content that educates people on politics in a digestible and engaging way.
The first title scheduled for release is Hell and High Water, which will bow Sept. 8. Heilemann is co-founder and executive editor of Recount. Heilemann will converse with influential figures in politics, entertainment, technology and business to explore how the country is moving forward through the current turbulence.
