American Futbol: In just two weeks, soccer will be front and center as the FIFA Men’s World Cup comes to North America for the first time since 1994. With multiple cities across the United States playing host to the premier sporting event of the summer, now’s the time to dive into the nation’s soccer culture and its underdog roots. Join award-winning journalist Fernanda Echavarri on Wednesdays to go beyond the game and into the stories of the people who have built, sustained, and reimagined the game across the country.
Unshaken with Gary V: This Monday, take a moment with Gary Valenciano to celebrate and reflect on human resilience. A survivor of cancer, tuberculosis, diabetes, and pneumonia, Gary V has a unique perspective on what it means to weather a storm. Through his new podcast, he extends that perspective into deeply personal conversations with guests who have faced their own defining struggles and emerged with renewed strength and clarity. Hosted with his signature warmth and openness, each episode blends vulnerability and hope, inviting listeners into stories that are both deeply human and quietly transformative. Without being overtly Christian, it points toward a universal truth: that even in life’s most difficult seasons, there can be meaning, growth, and redemption.
Elton John Impact Awards: Pride Month is about more than rainbows and parades. It’s an opportunity to hear LGBTQ+ stories, increase the community’s visibility, and make an impact that spans generations. Coming up on Monday, June 1, “Elton John Impact Awards” brings together Jonathan Bailey, Laverne Cox, Melissa Etheridge, Billie Jean King, Orville Peck, and Chappell Roan in a first-of-its-kind podcast series celebrating legacy and change. Co-hosts Billy Porter and Elvis Duran guide intimate, heartfelt, and candid conversations that reveal untold stories and messages of hope for both older and younger generations, honoring the power of living authentically.
