Exile Content Studio and My Cultura, iHeartMedia’s podcast network dedicated to elevating Latinx voices and stories, announced a renewed podcast content partnership. Running through 2024, the deal will include new seasons of the true-crime series Sacred Scandal and More Than a Movie as well as a new season of El Flow and a new narrative nonfiction scripted series.
“After working seamlessly together on our previous slate of podcasts, we are thrilled to renew our partnership with iHeartMedia’s My Cultura. Their brilliant team is dedicated to elevating Latino stories and creatives, which aligns perfectly with Exile’s audiences and mission, and continues to make My Cultura our perfect partner,” said Daniel Batista, Chief Operating Officer at Exile.
“Exile has not only established itself as a leader of Latino-focused content but also as an innovative and trustworthy partner – always looking to challenge and reinvent with every new season and title they launch. We look forward to both building on the success of hits like Sacred Scandal, More Than a Movie, and El Flow, and to releasing a new series together that will continue to push the boundaries of what audio storytelling can do for this audience and beyond,” commented Conal Byrne, Chief Executive Officer of the iHeartMedia Digital Audio Group.
Exile Content Studio and My Cultura’s first season of Sacred Scandal shared the story of the 2001 murder of Sister Michelle Lewis, a nun at Miami’s Holy Cross Academy, by a teenage monk. The current season, Sacred Scandal: La Luz del Mundo, explores the story of the powerful Mexican Church and one of its self-proclaimed apostles: Joaquín Naasón.
The first season of More Than a Movie: American Me delved into the true story of Edward James Olmos’ 1992 cult classic American Me and the legacy the controversial film left behind.
El Flow tells the story of reggaeton, its most emblematic artists, and the secrets of how the genre’s top hits were made. It’s a story of migration, expression, evolution, sexuality, rebellion, and repression.
Under the partnership, Exile Content Studio and My Cultura will produce a new narrative-scripted non-fiction series. Additional details about the project will be announced soon.
All series under the partnership will be distributed by iHeartPodcasts and available on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard.
