Another Round

United States
Another Round is a spirited blend of late-night salon and cultural dispatch, driven by Tracy Clayton and Heben Nigatu’s crackling chemistry and razor-sharp wit. Equal parts laughter and lucidity, it tackles race, gender, and pop life with the ease of best friends leaning in over cocktails—effortlessly smart, defiantly alive.
“Another Round was so, so special. It was groundbreaking for the genre and created a template for so many shows to come. Gone too soon ❤️"
- Alex Sujong Laughlin, Defector Media
Another Round was a groundbreaking blend of sharp cultural critique, personal storytelling, and joyous irreverence—hosted by the magnetic duo of Heben Nigatu and Tracy Clayton. At its peak, the show felt like both a salon and a safe haven, tackling race, gender, mental health, and pop culture with a mix of vulnerability and wit that was rare in podcasting at the time. Conversations could swing from hilarious to heartbreaking in a breath, always anchored by the hosts’ palpable chemistry and incisive voices. Another Round wasn’t just entertaining—it was essential, and its absence still echoes in the podcast landscape.
