''The Why with Dwyane Wade''

iHeartPodcasts launches "The Why with Dwyane Wade" -- a new original podcast series hosted by NBA Hall of Famer, three-time NBA Champion and entrepreneur Dwyane Wade. Premiering on Wednesday, January 17, the debut two-part episode will feature a candid roundtable conversation with Wade's fellow Basketball Hall of Fame inductees Dirk Nowitzki, Tony Parker and Pau Gasol. The group will cover a range of topics including personal challenges amongst themselves, the Dallas Mavericks and Miami Heat rivalry, their experiences as rookies, and what really makes someone a GOAT.

Each week on "The Why with Dwyane Wade," the NBA legend will sit down with pioneers in sports, fashion, music and business for an intimate conversation about their rise to success and the reasons they keep pushing to innovate. Guests will include Carmelo Anthony, Rick Ross, Pat Riley, David Grutman, Lindsey Vonn and more.

"As someone who is always curious and wanting to learn, I am looking forward to sitting down with some of my friends, peers and people I admire most to hear more about their 'why' and what motivates them to get up every day to do what they do," said Wade. "iHeartPodcasts is a true leader in the industry and I am excited and grateful to partner with them for my first show."

"Dwyane Wade has always been a force on and off the court, and his influence reaches fans of sports, pop culture and beyond," added iHeartPodcasts President Will Pearson. "We are thrilled to welcome him to the iHeartPodcasts family, and excited for listeners to get up-close-and-personal with Dwyane and his guests."

"The Why with Dwyane Wade" is a co-production of iHeartPodcasts and Wade's 59th & Prairie Entertainment.
