Introducing the RADAR Creators U.S. Class of 2024

09/10/2024

Discovery is at the heart of what we do at Spotify, and since 2020, our RADAR program has helped introduce rising artists, burgeoning songwriters, and promising creators in more than 30 markets to new audiences around the world.

Previously, we've supported creators through our global RADAR Podcasters playlist. But as more creators experiment and engage audiences through both video and audio, we want to be inclusive of all the ways they're expressing their creativity. That is why we are expanding RADAR Podcasters to be RADAR Creators, reflecting our commitment to supporting creators across all formats on Spotify. In addition, we're expanding the reach of RADAR Creators to several new markets: the U.S., Australia, Sweden, France, Italy, Spain, Brazil, and Mexico.

To kick off RADAR Creators, we're announcing our U.S. Class of 2024. Featuring diverse and engaging voices, these five shows cover topics that span pop culture, sports, wellness, true crime, and comedy.

Here's the scoop on the new RADAR Creators class.

Joy of Missing Out After spending their twenties working for other people, Chloe Shih and Eric Wei are betting on themselves as they navigate their thirties. With their video podcast Joy of Missing Out, the two hosts provide listeners with a fresh and engaging perspective on taking the road less traveled and not conforming to societal expectations.

I'm Right You're Wrong We all have those friends we love to get into debates with over brunch. And every week on I'm Right You're Wrong, hosts Isa Medina-who previously cohosted the hit podcast Sounds Like a Cult-and Lydia Keating explore the ethical questions that people in their twenties and thirties face every day by picking a side and engaging in a humorous debate. So if you're unsure of where you land on nepo babies, or whether dating a friend's ex is right or wrong, this is the video podcast for you.

Small Ball with Kenny Beecham A self-described NBA super fan, Kenny Beecham has built up a dedicated following as a video creator who talks all things basketball. With a new season of hoops around the corner, Small Ball with Kenny Beecham is back to keep you up-to-date on all the action.

Black People Love Paramore Every Thursday, Black People Love Paramore explores the niche interests of Black people that might seem random at first glance but are definitely a thing. From anime to Tony Hawk to title inspiration Paramore, host Sequoia Holmes aims to make Black listeners feel seen and connected through this lighthearted, Webby Award-nominated dive into pop culture.

PRETEND PRETEND offers a fresh approach on the true crime genre by uncovering the stories of the most notorious scams and con jobs. Host Javier Leiva pulls back the curtain on cult leaders and undercover FBI agents, exposing the transgressive masterminds who pretended to be someone they weren't.
