Las Culturistas

iHeartMedia and Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Podcast Network have renewed their exclusive podcast partnership with Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers in a new multiyear agreement, extending the run of their hit show, "Las Culturistas."

The renewal comes as the pop culture podcast marks its 10th anniversary. To celebrate the milestone, the duo released a special episode featuring actress Nicole Kidman.

Since launching in March 2016, "Las Culturistas" has grown into a prominent podcast in the entertainment and comedy space, featuring a wide range of high-profile guests from across film, music and television. Yang and Rogers joined iHeart and Big Money Players in 2020, helping expand the show's reach.

The podcast has earned multiple industry honors, including Podcast of the Year at the iHeartRadio Podcast Awards in 2023 and 2025, as well as recognition from the GLAAD Media Awards, the Ambies and the Signal Awards. Earlier this year, the hosts also received the Stephen F. Kolzak Award from GLAAD for their contributions to LGBTQ visibility and advocacy.

In a joint statement, Yang and Rogers said they were pleased to continue the partnership, while Big Money Players co-founder Will Ferrell praised the duo for building a show that resonates with a growing audience through humor and inclusivity.

The weekly podcast features recurring segments such as "I Don't Think So, Honey" and explores cultural trends and defining moments with celebrity guests. Past guests have included Mariah Carey, Michelle Obama, Lady Gaga and Reese Witherspoon.

Beyond the podcast, the duo has expanded the brand with the "Las Culturistas Culture Awards," which aired on Bravo and Peacock in 2025 and is set to return. They also host "Two Guys, Five Rings," an iHeartPodcasts series tied to NBCUniversal covering cultural highlights from the Olympic Games.

"Las Culturistas" is available on the iHeartRadio app and major podcast platforms.
