Here's The Thing

iHeartMedia and Alec Baldwin announced Thursday that Baldwin's podcast "Here's The Thing" will join the iHeartPodcast Network. Celebrating his tenth season of "Here's The Thing," Baldwin will continue his pursuit of great conversations when the podcast moves to the iHeartPodcast Network in January, 2021.

Since debuting the series in 2011, Baldwin has interviewed countless guests including Chris Rock, Barbara Streisand, Billy Joel, Questlove and more. "Here's The Thing" invites listeners to peek behind the curtain into the lives of notable individuals including artists, policy makers and performers as they dig deep to uncover what motivates them, what inspires them and what keeps them up at night.

"With the shift over to iHeartRadio, we're breathing new life into a project I've been passionate about for nearly a decade," said Baldwin. "Hosting this show and speaking to so many remarkable people over the years has been such a joy, and I'm eager to see where we go from here."

"Alec is an unmistakable talent and he navigates the fascinating, oftentimes surprising conversations on ‘Here's The Thing' with remarkable intuition," said iHeartPodcast Network President Conal Byrne. "He's a natural conversationalist, which explains why his show is so well-loved by listeners. We're excited to grow the listenership of the series by putting the resources of the iHeartPodcast Network behind the show."

Executive produced by Kathleen Russo and co-produced by Cavalry Media, all episodes of "Here's The Thing" will be distributed by the iHeartPodcast Network.
