Another Round (podcast)


Another Round is a culture podcast co-hosted by Tracy Clayton and Heben Nigatu. Debuting on Buzzfeed on March 24, 2015, Another Round featured interviews with guests such as writer and MacArthur Genius Ta-Nehisi Coates and U.S. Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, as well as segments on topics ranging from race, gender to pop culture. The podcast has been on hiatus since late 2017 when BuzzFeed ceased production.

Production team

Buzzfeed's Tracy Clayton and Heben Nigatu hosted Another Round. Occasional guest hosts sat in for Nigatu after she joined The Late Show with Stephen Colbert staff in July 2016. Buzzfeed Managing Editor for Mobile News Stacy-Marie Ishmael hosted Stacy's Career Corner as a recurring guest.
Another Round was one of five podcasts formerly produced by BuzzFeed's audio team. Producers included Jenna Weiss-Berman, Eleanor Kagan, Julia Furlan and Meg Cramer, collectively referred to as the Pod Squad.
In late 2017, Buzzfeed announced on their social media accounts the decision to stop producing Another Round, but that Nigatu and Clayton could take ownership and production of the show after a hiatus.

Guests

In addition to Coates and Clinton, notable guests included New York Times best-selling author Roxane Gay, writer and comedian Issa Rae, Hamilton writer and star Lin-Manuel Miranda, and writer and First Lady of New York City Chirlane McCray.

Segments

In addition to interviews and Stacy's Career Corner, segments on Another Round included Drunken Debates, Tracy's Animal Corner, Is This Real Life?, What Had Happened Was, Rapid Fire, Nichole's Nookie Nook, Tracy's Joke Time, and White Devil's Advocate.
