We’ve been waiting so long for this day — since December 21, 2023, to be exact, when the last brand-new full episode of Heavyweight aired — that it’s hard to believe it’s finally here. After a year and a half away and now at a new home, everyone’s favorite narrative nonfiction podcast is back! To celebrate, we’re sharing the Open Book interview we did with longtime Heavyweight producers Stevie Lane and Kalila Holt last month — for free all day today. In it, the two talk about how they decide which stories to green-light, what it’s like to work for years on one piece, how they came to work on the show in the first place and much, much more. (Yes, there’s mention of Jackie Cohen!) Give it a listen before delving into the new episode of the pod, or save it for after when you need more content from this team STAT.
