''Dos Amigos''

iHeartMedia is expanding its My Cultura Podcast Network with a new weekly series entitled "Dos Amigos," featuring actor, producer, and activist Wilmer Valderrama. The network, dedicated to elevating Latinx voices and stories, will premiere the podcast on January 30. Valderrama, known for his roles in "NCIS," "Encanto," and "That '70s Show," co-hosts with his real-life friend Freddy Rodriguez, recognized for "Six Feet Under" and "Ugly Betty."

"Dos Amigos" is produced by Valderrama's WV Sound and joins a growing list of podcasts under his collaboration with My Cultura, including hits like "More Better," "Essential Voices with Wilmer Valderrama," and "Date My Abuelita, First!" Each episode promises candid reflections on the hosts' careers and personal lives, recorded from Valderrama's personal speakeasy and featuring special guests.

Valderrama expressed enthusiasm about the project, highlighting the joy of engaging in meaningful conversations with a close friend and the broader community. "Freddy is one of my best friends, so having an excuse to get together every week to meet new friends, joke, laugh, celebrate, and share meaningful conversations couldn't feel less like work," he said.

Rodriguez shared his excitement, noting the natural chemistry and history of friendship with Valderrama. "I'm thrilled to invite the audience to join us on 'Dos Amigos', and I'm honored to work with my long-time friend, iHeartMedia, and the My Cultura Podcast Network," he added.

The My Cultura Podcast Network, launched in May 2021 with Enrique Santos, an iHeartMedia personality, aims to tell diverse and authentic Latinx stories. It features a variety of popular podcasts, including "Radio Ambulante," "Hungry for History," and "Princess of South Beach."

"Dos Amigos" episodes will be available every Thursday on the iHeartRadio app and other podcast platforms starting January 30.
