NEW YORK – February 17, 2022 – iHeartMedia, the No. 1 podcast publisher globally, and the Clinton Foundation announced today that the critically-acclaimed podcast, “Why Am I Telling You This? with Bill Clinton,” returns for a second season on Thursday, February 17th.

“With deep division taking tighter and tighter hold across America and all around the world, it’s clear that we all need to know each other better,” said President Clinton. “So I wanted these conversations to celebrate our differences and people’s unique gifts that make life interesting, but affirm that our common humanity matters more.”

In the Season 2 premiere of “Why Am I Telling You This?” President Clinton is joined by one of the most acclaimed storytellers working in music today, Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter and guitarist Jason Isbell. In the episode, titled “How to Find Something to Love,” Jason shares how his upbringing in rural Alabama helped him find his calling, why he feels a responsibility to speak out on issues he cares about, and how music can cut through our defenses and speak to our souls. Along the way, Jason and President Clinton talk about the challenges facing rural America, the overdose epidemic, and vaccine hesitancy—as well as Jason’s most recent album “Georgia Blue” and his film acting debut in Martin Scorsese’s upcoming “Killers of the Flower Moon.”

Last season, President Clinton spoke with award-winning writer and producer Shonda Rhimes; U.S. Representative Grace Meng (NY-6); political strategists James Carville and Paul Begala; Grammy and Pulitzer Prize winning musician Wynton Marsalis; voting rights activist Stacey Abrams; CNN’s chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta; presidential historian Douglas Brinkley; NBA legend and entrepreneur Magic Johnson; star of critically acclaimed documentary “Boys State” Steven Garza; faith leader and activist Dr. Bernice A. King; and advertising legend Roy Spence. To listen to last season’s episodes, please visit the
