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.
[1][2] The premise of the podcast was that the two hosts, Clayton and Nigatu, talk to each other and guests while both having fun and tackling serious topics, like mental health, feminism and racism.
"[4] In addition to Coates and Clinton, Another Round episodes featured many episodes with interviews of notable guests including New York Times best-selling author Roxane Gay,[5] Hamilton writer and star Lin-Manuel Miranda, comedian Margaret Cho,[6] writer and First Lady of New York City Chirlane McCray,[7] and NPR's Audie Cornish.
Producers included Jenna Weiss-Berman,[12] Eleanor Kagan, Julia Furlan and Meg Cramer, collectively referred to as the Pod Squad.
[16] In 2016, Forbes named Nigatu to its annual 30 Under 30 list, citing her work on "the popular and influential BuzzFeed podcast Another Round...which has monthly listener numbers in the hundreds of thousands.
"[18] In late 2017, BuzzFeed announced the decision to stop producing Another Round, but that Nigatu and Clayton could take ownership and production of the show after a hiatus.
Many people involved in the creation of Another Round have also come forward in the aftermath to say that even during production and the height of its popularity, the podcast was not given much support or resources internally.
