CNN Launches Three New Podcasts

 You have to hand it to CNN. The network is the master of the comeback. After being beaten in the ratings during the Trump years by Fox News, CNN dominated the ratings during the 2020 election season. 

Now after the ignominy of former CNN head Jeff Zucker being ensnared in an ill-advised romantic relationship at the network and the journalistic sleaziness of Chris Cuomo, the network has bounced back yet again.

It has hired Chris Licht to replace Zucker. Licht developed Morning Joe, revamped CBS This Morning and revitalized The Colbert Show and is widely respected for his business savvy and relationship skills. 

CNN's coverage of the Ukraine invasion has been courageous with its reports from the battlefields, and its podcast division has unveiled its podcast programming via CNN Audio in a manner so flawless that the stumblers and bumblers at Spotify can only look on in awe.

 CNN continues to expand its podcast programming with the launch of these three new audio projects.

DIVERSIFYING

Fostering insightful discussions about how the financial system can work for us, instead of against us, host Delyanne Barros—nationally recognized money expert also known as Delyanne The Money Coach on TikTok and Instagram—creates a space for people who have traditionally been left out of conversations around personal finance, and who are often faced with the challenge of balancing cultural expectations against their own financial needs. New episodes drop each Monday.

 LISTEN: 

Episode 1: Student Loans, A Dumpster Fire

Delyanne explores a financial system that asks us to take on debt to get ahead.

Episode 2: Tackling Your Student Debt

Delyanne is joined by debt expert Nika Booth to discuss options for paying off your loans, their money mistakes, and steps you can take to feel more in control of your debt.

 TUG OF WAR

In its first season, Tug of War took listeners to the most volatile corners of the world to document some of the greatest power struggles of our time—a mission that now feels more relevant than ever. In a special open-ended season, CNN reporters both here and on the ground offer us historical, political, and social context for the Russia/Ukraine conflict in a way that only CNN can. New episodes drop Sunday and Wednesday.

LISTEN: How Far Will Putin Go?
