iHeartMedia will launch "COVID-19 Immunity in Our Community," an original limited podcast series produced in partnership with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to share timely and accurate information about COVID-19 vaccines. The show is hosted by ABC News television broadcaster Robin Roberts and new episodes will be released every two weeks.

The podcast will host leaders and experts such as Dr. Anthony Fauci and other highly respected voices in the medical and scientific communities. Designed to separate fact from fiction, "COVID-19 Immunity in Our Community" will arm listeners with the tools they need to make educated decisions about COVID-19 vaccines. The new podcast will also draw perspectives from Americans across different communities including health care workers, journalists, and skeptics, who each share their unique and personal experience with vaccination.

"With more and more Americans getting access to vaccines as supply increases, it is important the public has the facts about the vaccines in order to understand how important they are to ending this pandemic," said Conal Byrne, President of the iHeartPodcast Network. "‘COVID-19 Immunity in Our Community' will provide listeners with reliable resources and information rooted in science, so they're equipped to make decisions about their lives - and the lives of those around them."

The podcast will release a total of 12 episodes with the first episode available today. Listeners can find the show on the iHeartRadio App, Apple Podcasts and all major podcast platforms.

"We know that there are some questions and concerns about the COVID-19 vaccines. So, I'm thrilled to be hosting Covid-19 Immunity in Our Community, which provides the information people need -- and are looking for -- to make informed decisions for themselves, and for their families," said host Roberts.
