Warner Music Group launched Interval Presents in April 2022 to
create multi-format, culture-forward audio content at the
intersection of music, pop culture, and social impact. Interval
Presents’ first slate of podcasts including Rap Radar and Holding
Court with Eboni K. Williams launched last month. For other
upcoming shows, listeners can expect content from award-winning
artists such as Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong'o, and later
this year, a new show entitled The Last Resort, hosted by
Xiuhtezcatl, an indigenous artist and activist.
“Joining forces with an iconic music company like Warner Music
Group, known for their dedication to advancing the voices and
careers of artists, is a seamless fit for iHeartMedia," said Conal
Byrne, CEO of iHeartMedia Digital Audio Group. “Our team is
thrilled to be co-producing a slate of shows to elevate inspiring,
diverse voices and important conversations in this vein – and can’t
wait to get started.”
Interval Presents will utilize iHeartMedia’s industry-leading
Omny/Triton platform to provide hosting, distribution, programmatic
ad sales, as well as audience and data insights to power the
Interval Presents Podcast Network.
“Interval Presents provides listeners with fresh,
culture-forward content that resonates with communities
everywhere,” said Allan Coye, General Manager of Interval Presents
and SVP of Digital Strategy & Business Development at Warner
Music Group. “iHeartMedia is a leader and premier partner in the
audio space, with numerous hit shows and strong sales and
distribution capabilities. This collaboration allows us to expand
the reach of our existing shows and accelerate our ability to
launch new podcasts that feature stories and individuals that need
amplification.”
