iHeartMedia has announced a new iHeartPodcast slate of scripted and unscripted shows in collaboration with Abominable Pictures and Honorable Mention, Abominable Picture’s audio production arm. The first new show will be Brewster High.
Founded by Jonathan Stern, Abominable Pictures is the production company behind comedy series including Murderville (Netflix) “Wet Hot American Summer” (Netflix),“Children’s Hospital” (Adult Swim), and “Burning Love” (Hulu).
“Ever since I was an infant, I’ve been a podcast enthusiast,” said Jonathan Stern, founder of Abominable Pictures and Honorable Mention. “But I always wanted to hear more comedies. Fortunately, so does iHeart.”
“We are thrilled to be teaming up with Jonathan, Abominable Pictures and Honorable Mention to bring our audiences more hilarious shows,” said Will Pearson, President, iHeartPodcasts. “He and his team are responsible for countless cult-classics in comedy and we can’t wait to share these brilliant new podcasts with listeners everywhere.”
The first show to launch from the slate is “Brewster High” – which premiered today, January 10th. This 10-part scripted comedy follows a group of students who suspect the official story about the mysterious disappearance of their beloved Ultimate Frisbee star is a lie. They do some digging, uncovering mysteries that don’t quite add up – a Frisbee gambling ring, a biker gang (well, dad cyclists), a rigged talent show and all sorts of torrid affairs. As our crew gets consumed by their quest for the truth, their personal lives struggle but they gain good material for their college application essays.
The first three episodes of “Brewster High,” executive produced by Stern and Keith Quinn, are available now with new episodes releasing every Tuesday on iHeartRadio and all major podcast platforms. Listen now, HERE.
