NEW YORK – January 23, 2025 – iHeartMedia, the No. 1 podcast publisher according to Podtrac, today announced “Dos Amigos'' -- a new weekly series from actor, producer, entrepreneur and activist Wilmer Valderrama’s exclusive slate with iHeartMedia’s My Cultura Podcast Network, a network dedicated to elevating Latinx voices and stories and of which Valderrama is a stakeholder. Co-produced by Valderrama’s production company WV Sound, “Dos Amigos" will join previously released podcasts from this partnership, “More Better" with Stephanie Beatriz and Melissa Fumero, “Essential Voices with Wilmer Valderrama,'' “Date My Abuelita, First!,” and "Forgive Me For I Have Followed." "Dos Amigos" premieres on January 30, and fans can listen to the trailer now, here.

Valderrama (NCIS, Encanto, That ‘70s Show) will co-host “Dos Amigos” alongside his real-life friend, actor and producer Freddy Rodriguez (Six Feet Under, Ugly Betty). Join the two amigos as they candidly reflect on their careers and lives, and share everything about everything. Each episode will be recorded from Wilmer’s very own speakeasy and will feature appearances from special guests. This weekly podcast will be all about bringing friends together, sparking honest reflection and toasting to the good times. 

“Freddy is one of my best friends so having an excuse to get together every week to meet new friends, joke, laugh, celebrate and share meaningful conversations couldn’t feel less like work,” said Wilmer Valderrama. “I am beyond grateful for the partnership WV Sound has built with iHeartMedia’s My Cultura Network and cannot wait to continue uplifting our community’s vibrant voices.”

“Wilmer and I have known each other for years, and every time we’ve crossed paths during our long journey in the entertainment industry, our conversations have always been filled with laughter, interesting stories and an overall good time,” said Freddy Rodriguez. “I’m thrilled to invite the audience to join us on ‘Dos Amigos’, and I’m honored to work with my long-time friend, iHeartMedia and the My Cultura Podcast Network.”

The My Cultura Podcast Network was announced in May 2021 in partnership with Enrique Santos, iHeartMedia’s top-rated on-air personality and President and Chief Creative Officer of iHeartLatino. Valderrama joined the network as a stakeholder in 2022. As the first majority Latinx-owned podcast network, My Cultura is committed to telling diverse and authentic stories in a way that resonates with the Latinx community. It is home to hit podcasts including “Radio Ambulante,” “Hungry for History” with Eva Longoria and Maite Gomez Rejón, “Princess of South Beach'' starring Rachel Zegler (West Side Story) and Sheryl Rubio (Casa de las Flores), “Wrestling with Freddie” with Freddie Prinze, Jr., “Nocturno: Tales from the Shadows” with Danny Trejo, “Chiquis and Chill” and many more. 

Listeners can find all My Cultura shows on the iHeartRadio app, and everywhere podcasts are heard. “Dos Amigos” will be available weekly on Thursdays, starting January 30.

About Wilmer Valderrama

Actor, producer, and activist Wilmer Valderrama has been making audiences laugh, listen, and think for nearly two decades. Perhaps most recognized for his role as exchange student ‘Fez’ on the Emmy-nominated series That 70s Show, Valderrama currently stars in the #1 TV drama NCIS on CBS. On the big screen, he most recently lent his voice to the hit Academy Award-winning Disney animated film Encanto. Behind the camera, Valderrama launched his production arm WV Entertainment to bring underrepresented stories to life across traditional broadcast and streaming platforms. Over the years, the team has produced beloved and impactful content including Yo Mama, Handy Manny, Charming, and the recent runaway hit Netflix docuseries Dancing for the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult. In their partnership with CBS Studios, the team also has a robust slate in development. As an extension of his production arm and his expanded role as a shareholder in the My Cultura Podcast Network from iHeartMedia, Valderrama also launched WV Sound to help curate the network’s slate of Latinx-focused podcasts. Continuing off the success of ‘Essential Voices with Wilmer Valderrama’ and ‘More Better with Stephanie & Melissa’, the team is committed to a slate of new programming that will be executive produced by and/or star him. Seeing a gap in the marketplace for bringing new below the line talent into the US marketplace, Valderrama partnered with John Pollack to launch Allied Management Group, which focuses on partnering with, collaborating, and representing new and existing Latino voices across traditional and digital media. In 2024, Valderrama also added author to his credits with the release of his memoir An American Story: Everyone’s Invited. Outside of acting and producing, Valderrama is active in several philanthropic agencies including HARNESS, which he co-founded with America Ferrara and Ryan Piers William to connect communities through conversation to inspire action and power change.  He also serves on the board of Voto Latino, a spokesperson for the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (CHCI), and a USO Global Ambassador.
