“Questlove Supreme” Season 3 to debut on
the iHeartPodcast Network on November 6
iHeartMedia, the No. 1 commercial podcast publisher globally,
and Questlove, the drummer, DJ, producer, culinary entrepreneur, designer, New
York Times best-selling author and member of The Roots today announced a
partnership that will bring new seasons of “Questlove Supreme,” the
critically acclaimed music and pop culture based podcast, to the iHeartPodcast
Network. In addition, the famed Roots drummer and Tonight Show musical
director will hand curate and produce a new slate of iHeartRadio Original
content, which will go beyond just music, early next year. New episodes of
“Questlove Supreme” will be available weekly beginning November 6 on
iHeartRadio and everywhere podcasts are heard.
“Questlove Supreme” is hosted by Questlove and five of his closest
friends, and also features a new, well-known guest on every episode. It is
a fun, irreverent and educational weekly podcast that digs deep into the
stories of musical legends and cultural icons in a way that only Questlove and
Team Supreme can deliver. Each episode is driven by conversation ranging from
the guest’s origins (along with a few never-before-revealed secrets to their
success) to their life passions and current projects. Previous
guests have included Usher, Michelle Obama, Chris Rock, Maya Rudolph, Weird Al,
Chaka Khan and many more.
“We’ve attracted an incredibly passionate and enthusiastic fan
base so far with ‘Questlove Supreme,’ and partnering with iHeartMedia, the
leader in the audio space, will now allow us to bring these conversations to a
much larger audience and take it to the next level,” said Questlove. “I’m
also excited to have the opportunity to launch even more thought-provoking
content within the iHeartRadio ecosystem and beyond.”
“Questlove is a treasure trove of musical and historical
knowledge, with one of the smartest perspectives on culture today, and we are
thrilled to partner with him to bring his podcast and a new slate of original
content to the iHeartPodcast Network,” said Conal Byrne, President of the
