In 2019, award-winning journalist, culture critic, and multihyphenate creator Jemele Hill joined the Spotify lineup with her own Spotify Original Podcast, Jemele Hill is Unbothered. Now, she's expanding her exclusive partnership with Spotify with two big moves: a third season of the critically acclaimed show-and her very own podcast network.
The Unbothered Network Jemele's new groundbreaking podcast and production company, The Unbothered Network, seeks to elevate the voices, stories, agency, and nuance of Black women, an audience she feels is often chronically underserved across all mediums. Jemele will be working in partnership with Spotify and her longtime representative Evan Dick (Exit 39). Together, this powerhouse team of creatives and executives will create premium content that drives conversations and builds community, all through the power and intimacy of podcasting. Spotify, Jemele, and her production company, Lodge Freeway Media, will identify and develop new exciting series for the Network.
The Unbothered Network is more than just a content hub-it's a space where Black women can hopefully see their full selves, says Jemele. There's so much about the lives of Black women that hasn't been fully explored, and so many of our stories have either been dismissed or overlooked. I'm also proud of this network because it not only centers Black women, but it's also run by Black women. We can't empower Black women if we're not positioning them in leadership roles.
We are thrilled to be expanding our partnership with the incomparable Jemele Hill, says Courtney Holt, Head of Studios and Video, Spotify. An acclaimed journalist, storyteller, podcaster, and creative-whose bold and authentic takes on social politics, sports, and culture have shined a spotlight on topics that are often overlooked. We can't wait for her to continue her podcast and bring new and diverse talent to her network that amplifies and strengthens the voices of this important community.
Jemele's team of creatives and executives at The Unbothered Network include award-winning journalist Christina M. Tapper as Executive Producer & Head of Content, and Webby award-winning Creator/Producer Rich Boerner as Head of Operations and Production.
I'm beyond grateful and excited to join Jemele and Spotify in building an audio home where Black women are primary, says Christina. I'm energized by the work of creating an expansive portfolio of premium podcasts for Black women listeners and by Black women creators at The Unbothered Network. We'll tap into a variety of formats and genres to do just that.
Unbothered Podcast Season 3 To top it off, the third season of Jemele's podcast Jemele Hill is Unbothered is set to debut June 28. This installment of the critical and thought-provoking show is sure to stand up among its previous seasons. And the first guests? Singer-songwriter-actor Mary J. Blige, singer-songwriter Jill Scott, and actor Michael B. Jordan.
As an arbiter of culture and a storyteller, Jemele is a pioneer in the audio space who has continued to expand her reach and global audience. Whether breaking down difficult conversations about national discourse, racial inequality, gender equity, activism, politics, entertainment, or cancel culture, Jemele isn't afraid to have an honest, thought-provoking, always-entertaining analysis of American life, discussed in real time as it unfolds.
Tune into Season 3 of Jemele Hill is Unbothered, free on Spotify June 28.
