New York 鈥 February 20, 2020 鈥 Today Bob Miller, President of Flatiron Books, announced a new imprint, Stuff You Should Read: An iHeartBook, in partnership with 茄子污污视频鈥檚 . The imprint deal will start with four books based on iHeartRadio鈥檚 popular slate of curiosity podcasts, with an adult and young reader edition for each. The first book is set to hit shelves September 29, 2020. 

The imprint will make its debut with STUFF YOU SHOULD KNOW: An Incomplete Compendium of Mostly Interesting Things, by Josh Clark and Chuck Bryant, hosts of the iHeartPodcast Network鈥檚 award-winning and hugely successful podcast 鈥溾 (SYSK), one of the first podcasts to reach one billion downloads. With this book, Josh and Chuck have taken their near-boundless curiosity from earbuds to the printed page to answer all the questions readers didn鈥檛 know they wanted to ask, from the origin of Murphy beds, to the history of facial hair, to the psychology of being lost.

鈥淧odcasting is exploding right now, with some of the best and brightest minds launching shows in this medium,鈥 said Conal Byrne, President of the iHeartPodcast Network. 鈥淲e wanted to take a lot of that creativity and extend it into another amazing medium, serving it up in a whole new way and potentially to a whole new audience 鈥 readers. We found the perfect partner in Flatiron to launch our first four titles, with more to come.鈥

鈥淲e are extraordinarily excited to be working on a book with Flatiron,鈥 said Clark. 鈥淚t鈥檚 been a long time coming since we first wanted to create a SYSK book 鈥 since basically the beginning of the podcast 12 years ago 鈥 so this is a bit of a dream come true for us.鈥

Bryant continued, 鈥淥ur listeners have been clamoring for a book as well, but the time never seemed right until now. With so much experience under our belts and a wealth of information we know people crave, we鈥檙e finally ready to dive into this book project the right way with Flatiron. We can鈥檛 wait to finally see the finished book in our hands and the hands of our listeners everywhere.鈥

The imprint will be headed by Sarah Murphy, Executive Editor at Flatiron, and willpublish a minimum of one book per year. To start, it will feature titles based on other popular long-running iHeartPodcast Network curiosity shows including 鈥淪tuff You Missed in History Class,鈥 鈥淪tuff They Don't Want You to Know,鈥 and 鈥淪tuff Mom Never Told You.鈥 Additionally, Imprint, a part of Macmillan Children鈥檚 Publishing Group, will publish young reader editions of the books. 

鈥淪TUFF YOU SHOULD KNOW is as addictive as Cheese Doodles, full of the kind of fascinating details that book-lovers will love,鈥 said Miller. 鈥淲ho doesn't want to know how water treatment plants work? Or the history of the donut? We're thrilled to be partnering with the SYSK team and iHeartRadio to bring this delightful information to bookstores this fall."
