In a fresh collaboration that merges Hollywood entertainment with interactive podcasting, The Black List, LAist Studios and The Ankler have announced the upcoming launch of a new game, chat podcast and radio show entitled "Nobody Knows Anything." The announcement, made from ADWEEK's Mediaweek event in New York, introduces a weekly series that will challenge Hollywood's elite with film and TV trivia.

Scheduled to debut in December, "Nobody Knows Anything" will be accessible on all major podcast platforms and is set to broadcast as a weekly radio program on NPR KPCC-FM (LAist 89.3) in Los Angeles. The show will be hosted by Franklin Leonard, founder and CEO of The Black List, and will feature a dynamic mix of Hollywood stars and creatives each week.

The inaugural episode promises high-caliber entertainment with guests including actress and producer Natasha Lyonne, Oscar-winning screenwriter Cord Jefferson and comedian Sherry Cola, known for her role in "Nobody Wants This." Set to be recorded in front of a live audience at The Crawford at LAist HQ, the program aims to provide both humor and a peek into the industry's insider dynamics.

The venture is backed by FX as the launch partner, with executive producers Jon Cohn, Megan Halpern, Shana Naomi Krochmal, and Franklin Leonard steering the show's creative direction.
