Eva Longoria’s Hyphenate Media Group Teams Up with iHeartMedia for Exciting New Podcast Lineup with Diana Maria Riva, Ana Navarro, and Yris Palmer
Eva Longoria and iHeartMedia Launch New Podcast Slate
Eva Longoria’s Hyphenate Media Group, in collaboration with iHeartMedia’s Latino network My Cultura, has announced an exciting lineup of four new podcasts set to debut over the coming year.
Among the highlights is Who Made You, an interview series in which Longoria will engage with prominent figures from the entertainment industry to explore their journeys to success. Additional shows include Bleep! With Ana Navarro, Against All Odds with Yris Palmer, and How Hard Can It Be? with Diana Maria Riva. Longoria will serve as the executive producer for all four podcasts, which will be released through 2026.
Who Made You? is scheduled to launch this fall, coinciding with Hispanic Heritage Month. The show aims to celebrate legacy and community, featuring discussions with leading names in film and television about the pivotal moments that shaped their careers.
The slate commences with Bleep! With Ana Navarro, set for release on February 23. This weekly program will tackle current cultural and political issues, featuring Navarro, co-host of The View and CNN political commentator. Navarro stated, “We’re living in a moment when speaking up feels harder than ever, which is exactly why we have to do it anyway. I’m excited to have a new space to dive deep into the forces shaping our lives — politics, culture, and power — in a way that’s honest, raw, and yes, totally un-bleeped.”
Following that, Against All Odds with Yris Palmer will debut in late March, focusing on self-improvement and entrepreneurship. The show will highlight the stories of individuals who have defied expectations, as Palmer explores their mindsets and journeys.
In early May, How Hard Can It Be? will premiere, offering a platform for discussions on self-improvement and mental health tailored for GenX women. Hosted by Riva, the show will feature conversations with celebrities and experts about navigating midlife challenges.
All four podcasts will be available on the iHeartRadio app and across various podcast platforms, under the distribution of iHeartPodcasts.
Leo Gomez, head of iHeartMedia’s My Cultura Podcast Network, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, saying, “We’re thrilled to continue growing My Cultura’s partnership with Eva and the team at Hyphenate Media Group through this exciting slate of new podcasts that amplify Latino voices. Our shared commitment to telling authentic and diverse stories makes our collaborations feel seamless.”
Hyphenate Media Group, co-founded by Longoria and former Endemol Shine North America chair Cris Abrego in 2023, has quickly established a diverse portfolio, including projects with Apple TV, CNN, and FX, as well as an upcoming Netflix film.
Longoria reflected on the initiative, stating, “This slate reflects the cultural relevance, creative ambition, and audience engagement that drive meaningful influence across platforms. At Hyphenate Media Group, we’re committed to investing in exceptional talent and building the partnerships that support their growth.”
