Production team

Buzzfeed's Tracy Clayton and Heben Nigatu hosted Another Round. Occasional guest hosts sat in for Nigatu after she joined The Late Show with Stephen Colbert staff in July 2016. Buzzfeed Managing Editor for Mobile News Stacy-Marie Ishmael hosted Stacy's Career Corner as a recurring guest.[3]

Another Round was one of five podcasts formerly produced by BuzzFeed's audio team. Producers included Jenna Weiss-Berman,[4] Eleanor Kagan, Julia Furlan and Meg Cramer, collectively referred to as the Pod Squad.

In late 2017, Buzzfeed announced on their social media accounts the decision to stop producing Another Round, but that Nigatu and Clayton could take ownership and production of the show after a hiatus.[5]

Guests

In addition to Coates and Clinton, notable guests included New York Times best-selling author Roxane Gay,[6] writer and comedian Issa Rae, Hamilton writer and star Lin-Manuel Miranda,[7] and writer and First Lady of New York City Chirlane McCray.[8]

Segments

In addition to interviews and Stacy's Career Corner, segments on Another Round included Drunken Debates, Tracy's Animal Corner, Is This Real Life?, What Had Happened Was, Rapid Fire ("Pew Pew Pew!"),[1] Nichole's Nookie Nook, Tracy's Joke Time,[9] and White Devil's Advocate.[3]

Accolades

Another Round episodes were rated "Best of 2015" by iTunes,[10] Slate,[11] Vulture,[12] and The Atlantic.[13] 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." [14] Writing for The Guardian, critic Sasha Frere-Jones described hosts Nigatu and Clayton as "leading American cultural critics."[15]
