"Questlove Supreme" season 3 is coming to the iHeartPodcast Network on December 4!
The move of Questlove's critically acclaimed music and pop culture based weekly podcast and his subsequent partnership with iHeartMedia was announced on Wednesday (September 25).
“We’ve attracted an incredibly passionate and enthusiastic fan base so far with ‘Questlove Supreme,’ and partnering with iHeartMedia, the leader in the audio space, will now allow us to bring these conversations to a much larger audience and take it to the next level,” the famed Roots drummer and Tonight Show musical director said in a statement. “I’m also excited to have the opportunity to launch even more thought-provoking content within the iHeartRadio ecosystem and beyond.”
Each episode of "Questlove Supreme" is conversation-driven and features guests — which have included Usher, Michelle Obama, Chris Rock, Maya Rudolph, Weird Al, Chaka Khan and many more — discussing everything from their origins, never-before-revealed secrets of their success, their life passions, current projects, and a whole lot more.
In addition to bringing "Questlove Supreme" to iHeartPodcast Network, Questlove will also hand curate and produce a new slate of iHeartRadio Original content, which will go beyond just music, early next year.
“Questlove is a treasure trove of musical and historical knowledge, with one of the smartest perspectives on culture today, and we are thrilled to partner with him to bring his podcast and a new slate of original content to the iHeartPodcast Network,” Conal Byrne, President of the iHeartPodcast Network said. “It’s always amazing to work with your heroes – and, for us, that’s Questlove. His passion is a great complement to our music podcasts, and with our unmatched reach across multiple platforms, we can’t wait to share ‘Questlove Supreme’ with more listeners than ever before.”
