Heavyweight as it exists under Spotify will be ending after this season, on Dec 21st. We’re so proud of everything we’ve made, and we’re hoping the show finds a new home in the future. Till then, stay tuned (stay subscribed)! And thank you all so much for your love and support.
Some exciting news: Heavyweight is back on all podcast platforms. This goes for the new season, too, which starts in September and will be available everywhere. Start polishing your earbuds.
Here’s the thing about seasons: They’re seasonal. Take summer, for instance. When it ends, there’s no need for panic. Summer will come again. It’s just that the Gods who make summer require some production time. Season 4 of Heavyweight returns at the end of September.
Dear listeners—very exciting news for us. To those asking, Heavyweight will still be available wherever you get your podcasts, not just on Spotify.
But maybe our new bosses will be more generous with the travel budget than
