EXCLUSIVE: The hit podcast Emergency Intercom, hosted by Enya Umanzor and Drew Phillips is set to join the iHeartPodcasts podcast network, iHeartMedia announced today. Known for their wild tangents, absurd humor and undeniable chemistry, Umanzor and Phillips have cultivated a loyal audience and now, they’re ready to take things to the next level. Fans can expect the same unpredictable energy, now supercharged with the massive scale and reach of the world’s No.1 podcast publisher, iHeartPodcasts.
“We’re excited to bring ‘Emergency Intercom’ to iHeartPodcasts,” said Umanzor and Phillips. “We enjoy the new sphere of podcasting that blends visual sketches with verbal improv. Our hope by the end of the year is that most are left confused as to whether it’s a scripted show or just two idiots who get into stupid situations and have the need to talk about it. Perhaps, it’s just a show about the endless stream of thoughts in our head that simply must be said out loud.”
Effective immediately, all new episodes of the show and its entire back catalog will be distributed through iHeartPodcasts. Along with the move comes a brand new cover look, an expanded guest lineup and more surprises the duo may or may not have thought through.
“Emergency Intercom is one of today’s most original and refreshingly honest shows –and with such delightful talent in Enya and Drew, the podcast has built an incredibly loyal Gen Z following,” said Will Pearson, President, iHeartPodcasts. “We’re thrilled to welcome them to the iHeartPodcasts family and look forward to helping them grow their audience with our scale and reach.”
Umanzor and Phillips launched the show in July 2021 and have since garnered tens of millions of streams across platforms. Recognized as voices of this generation, they have been recruited to collaborate with institutions and brands alike to create impactful, wide-reaching campaigns. Together and individually, Enya and Drew bring hilarity, impeccable taste and a unique outlook on life that has captivated a wildly engaged and loyal audience.
