Premiere Networks and iHeartCountry VP/Creative Director Bobby Bones, who's also host of the national Country radio program "The Bobby Bones Show," announced Thursday the launch of a new iHeartRadio Original Podcast, "Talk to Chuck" with Chuck Wicks, distributed by Bones' Nashville Podcast Network. Executive produced by Bones, "Talk to Chuck" features the singer and songwriter as he shares his unique perspective on what's happening in the world of country music.

"As I've gotten to know Bobby over the last couple of years, I've been able to witness his work ethic and passion in everything he does," said Wicks. "Whether it's radio, TV, touring or writing a book, Bobby gets it and goes for it. After many conversations with him and expressing that I have those exact same passions, we ended up becoming friends and wanted to find a way to work together. I'll never forget him telling me, 'Chuck, you're not a #2 or #3 guy... you're the guy and you deserve your own show.' Well, here we are with "Talk to Chuck."

"Chuck has been a good friend of mine for a couple years and someone I admire in a lot of ways, especially for his determination and storytelling," added Bones. "He has such an interesting perspective that I know our listeners and beyond will be drawn to. I'm pumped to welcome him to the Nashville Podcast Network!"

Wicks burst onto the country music scene in 2007 when his debut single "Stealing Cinderella" earned him the highest debut for a new country artist that year. The Verge Records artist is currently in the studio working on new music. He released his new single "Solid Gold" on October 23, his first song in nearly two years.

"Talk to Chuck" will debut Thursday, October 29 with new episodes publishing on Mondays and Thursdays.
