Another Round (podcast)

Another Round is a podcast co-hosted by Tracy Clayton and Heben Nigatu, with occasional guest hosts. Debuting on Buzzfeed on March 24, 2015, Another Round has featured interviews with guests like writer and MacArthur Genius Ta-Nehisi Coates and U.S. Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, as well as segments on topics ranging from race, gender and pop culture to squirrels, mangoes, and jokes. Episodes are uploaded weekly on Tuesdays, and feature a new guest every week.
==Production team==
Buzzfeed's Tracy Clayton and Heben Nigatu (with Buzzfeed when the podcast launched, then later The Late Show with Stephen Colbert) host Another Round, with occasional guest hosts sitting in for Nigatu after she joined The Late Show around July 2016. Buzzfeed Managing Editor for Mobile News Stacy-Marie Ishmael has been a recurring guest, hosting Stacy's Career Corner.
The podcast is one of five podcasts from BuzzFeed's audio team. Producers have included Jenna Weiss-Berman, Eleanor Kagan, Julia Furlan and Meg Cramer. They are collectively known as the Pod Squad.
In late 2017, the show's social media accounts made an announcement that Buzzfeed had decided to stop producing Another Round, but that Nigatu and Clayton had been allowed to take ownership of the show and would continue it after a hiatus.
==Guests==
In addition to Coates and Clinton, notable guests have included New York Times best-selling author Roxane Gay, writer and comedian Issa Rae, Hamilton writer and star Lin-Manuel Miranda and writer and First Lady of New York City Chirlane McCray.
==Segments==
In addition to interviews and Stacy's Career Corner, segments on Another Round include Drunken Debates, Tracy's Animal Corner, Is This Real Life?, What Had Happened Was, Rapid Fire ("Pew Pew Pew!"), Nichole's Nookie Nook and Tracy's Joke Time, White Devil's Advocate, among others.
==Accolades==
Another Round episodes were rated "Best of 2015" by iTunes, Slate, Vulture, and The Atlantic among others. 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." Writing for The Guardian, critic Sasha Frere-Jones described hosts Nigatu and Clayton as "leading American cultural critics."
