iHeartMedia has renewed TS Madison’s interview show *Outlaws* for a second season, with new episodes set to resume on April 28. (insideaudiomarketing.com) The pickup came one week after the company marked the show’s first anniversary: iHeart announced *Outlaws* on May 6, 2025, and launched it on May 13 as part of its Outspoken Podcast Network. (iheartmedia.com) Season one ran as a weekly series and reached 48 episodes by April 21, when the finale dropped with Lil Nas X in a 66-minute installment labeled “S1, E48” on Apple Podcasts. (podcasts.apple.com) At launch, iHeart said the guest list would include Tina Knowles, Chappell Roan, Sasha Colby, Laverne Cox and Lil Nas X, framing the show around long-form conversations with pop culture figures and LGBTQ voices. (iheartmedia.com) That format fits the Outspoken network, which iHeart uses to group LGBTQ-focused shows under a shared label instead of scattering them across its broader podcast slate. The *Outlaws* show page says the series features “living legends and rising stars” who tell personal stories in Madison’s voice-driven style. (iheart.com) Madison arrived at iHeart with a built-in audience from television, live performance and online media, and the company leaned into that in its original announcement by billing her as an entertainer and LGBTQ activist rather than introducing an unknown host. (iheartmedia.com) The renewal also extends iHeart’s habit of building podcast networks around recognizable communities and hosts, a strategy the company has used across branded groupings including Outspoken and The Black Effect Podcast Network. (iheartmedia.com) For listeners, the immediate change is simple: *Outlaws* moves from a completed first run into a second season without a long gap, keeping Madison’s Tuesday release rhythm intact.
