Premiere Networks and syndicated radio personality Elvis Duran have announced the addition of "Give It A Chance with Kevin Devine and Casey Jost" to the Elvis Duran Podcast Network. The new weekly podcast will launch Thursday, April 25 on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard.

In each episode, musician Kevin Devine along withactor, writer and musician Casey Jost will review a famously despised pop song. After sharing their first impressions, as well as some insight as to when the song was originally released, they will break down the good, the bad and the ugly of the tune's musical attributes and lyricism. They will also compare it to similar songs that are beloved and discuss why the world has decided it's famously awful.

"There's nothing more subjective than what makes for good -- or bad -- art/entertainment, and fewer things are more fun to hash out at ridiculous length with your friends," said Devine. "Casey and I do exactly that, and in a seriously unserious way that gets us to reconsider our own taste biases and impulses, always punching up at songs way more successful than we will ever be. It's rangy and fun, and well worth a Chancey -- c'mon, c'mon, c'mon."

"We're all trying to be a little more positive, right?," shared Jost. "With that mantra in mind, we optimistically listen to songs we hate -- and we force ourselves to find value in them. My hope is, whether you agree or disagree with our opinions, you enjoy the fun Kevin and I are having while we discuss these lame tunes. Plus, I feel confident that you'll enjoy our silly tangents."
