Actor and comedian Ed Helms is bringing back his hit podcast "SNAFU with Ed Helms" for a new season featuring a revamped weekly format, a video component, and a lineup of celebrity guests. The iHeartPodcasts series, produced in partnership with SNAFU Media -- Helms' Pacific Electric Picture Company and FilmNation Entertainment -- explores some of history's biggest blunders with humor and perspective.

The new season follows the release of Helms' bestselling book, SNAFU: The Definitive Guide to History's Greatest Screwups, and dives into more of history's wildest disasters, from the Donner Party to the Great Molasses Flood. Other topics include the Teapot Dome scandal, the 1977 New York City blackout, the Johnstown Flood, and even the Mona Lisa heist.

Among this season's guests are Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey (Office Ladies), Nick Kroll, Adam Scott, Jenny Slate, Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway, Adam Grant, Paul Scheer, Mike Schur, Jordan Klepper, Kal Penn, Jake Tapper, Sophia Bush, Desi Lydic, Dan Taberski, Jon Lovett, and Sarah Spain.

The season kicks off with Fischer and Kinsey joining Helms to discuss "The Lost Nuke of Japan," the true story of a 1965 "Broken Arrow" incident in which a U.S. Navy aircraft lost a hydrogen bomb off the coast of Japan.

"SNAFU with Ed Helms" premieres Wednesday, October 8. New weekly episodes will be available on the iHeartRadio app, major podcast platforms, and YouTube.
