Lemonada Media's Award-Winning Podcast "In The Bubble with Andy Slavitt" Expands To Three Times Weekly

The New Format Will Expand from In-Depth Pandemic Coverage To Key Topics In the Greater News Cycle Weighing on Americans-- Including War, Misinformation, Economic Upheaval, Elections & Democracy, and Climate Change

LOS ANGELES, May 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Lemonada Media, the podcast network that makes life suck less, today announces that its award-winning podcast, In The Bubble with Andy Slavitt, will be expanding to three episodes weekly, adding a Friday show to its lineup beginning today. The series, which won a Webby Award and was named one of Apple's Top Shows of 2020, is hosted by Andy Slavitt and will remain the best source for information on the pandemic and its impact on our society and families. Effective today, the show will expand to cover the topics weighing on Americans throughout the news cycle, including foreign policy crises such as the war in Ukraine, climate change, economic concerns, misinformation, and our democracy and values. While the scope of the series is expanding, the motivation remains the same: helping listeners understand these issues and the implications on their lives, and giving them the tools to get smarter and stay calmer. 

"For people who want a deeper understanding of the issues that scare us in the headlines and want insight into what is happening next, that's what we're here for," said Andy Slavitt, who is beginning his third year as In the Bubble's host. "I don't care who you are, the headlines today can be disturbing and scary. But if we do it with the right mix of  the most informed experts, a learning mindset, honesty, and a helpful toolkit, we can get through anything. Calm and joy is the goal in the bubble."

As a White House advisor and crisis response leader in two presidential administrations, Slavitt is plugged into the behind-the-scenes world of global thought leaders. His brand of dependable, nonpartisan analysis has made In The Bubble a trusted source for millions of monthly listeners and top news outlets alike, taking home the title of Best Health & Wellness Podcast at the 2022 Webby Awards, along with a nomination for Best Host. With this new, more comprehensive format of the series, Slavitt will continue to bring listeners into his bubble with leaders in science, government, culture, and politics -- like previous guests Jose Andres, Susan Rice, Chelsea Clinton, Ken Burns, Tina Fey, Pete Buttigieg, Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, Ron Klain, Gretchen Whitmer, Anthony Fauci, and Lori Lightfoot  --  many of whom rarely give in-depth interviews but will who drop their guard and give candid advice as news breaks, crises loom, and the complexities of the world seem impossible to navigate.

"Even more than his A-list guests, the show's ability to find the expert you've never heard of who brings us understanding and calm has been its hallmark," shares Lemonada CEO and co-founder, Jessica Cordova Kramer. "At the start of the pandemic, Andy told us he wanted our help creating a podcast that was part Fred Rogers and part Winston Churchill for a global crisis that we'd all be navigating together. We were energized by the way in which this vision has enabled us to help make life suck less for the entire country and world in a very urgent and specific way."

"As it turns out, feeling calmer about the unrelenting news cycles and crises is exactly what people needed. We're thrilled to expand the In the Bubble frequency and scope to bring Andy's calming, informative conversations into all the things we're panicking about," adds Stephanie Wittels Wachs, Lemonada's co-founder and Chief Creative Officer.

All current episodes of In The Bubble with Andy Slavitt are available now on all major podcast platforms. New episodes will be released weekly every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Listen and follow HERE.
