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:

This Fall marks the 50th anniversary of two iconic events, the legendary Rumble in the Jungle fight between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman, and the Zaire’ 74 music festival, headlined by the likes of James Brown, BB King, Miriam Makeba and myriad other stars. In the lead up to the highly politicized superfight, Ali and many other freedom fighters are forced to confront old truths and build bridges toward understanding as they learn to wield the power of influence and sacrifice. Featuring personal accounts of the monumental effort it took to put on these events, every Wednesday “Rumble: Ali/Foreman and The Soul of '74” walks backstage with a staggeringly powerful group of fighters, performers, producers and activists, uplifting the legacy of Black Excellence.

For an explosive fusion of hip-hop and history, tailor-made for music-loving kids and families, tune into “Historical Records”. From executive producers Questlove and the Story Pirates comes a show that proves that in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Each week, host Nimene, her in-house crew of hilarious historians, and a team of beat-making raccoons broadcast from a top-secret underground bunker where they learn about the unsung heroes of the past by turning their history into hip-hop. Check out new episodes every Friday.

Finally, “The Puzzler with A.J. Jacobs” is here to provide your daily puzzle fix in audio form! The Puzzler is a short-form daily podcast that challenges listeners and guests with original, audio-friendly puzzles, complete with weird history and “who knew?” trivia from the wide world of solving. In each episode, New York Times bestselling author A.J. Jacobs and his fellow puzzle obsessives try to stump each other with everything from anagrams to riddles to movie mashups and more. The show’s original puzzle team is headed by “Chief Puzzle Officer” Greg Pliska, the world-renowned puzzle creator who collaborated with Jacobs on his recent book, The Puzzler.
