WHAT: iHeartMedia and LinkedIn today announced, "Let's Talk Offline," the first podcast to launch in their co-produced slate of shows on the LinkedIn Podcast Network powered by iHeartPodcasts. "Let's Talk Offline" will help Gen Z job hunters navigate the job market and feel comfortable in their new careers. This podcast comes at a time when Gen Z is seeking guidance - according to a recent LinkedIn survey, 46 percent of Gen Z wish they knew who to reach out to for career advice.

The weekly podcast will launch with two episodes. Episode one will discuss ways to break the "not enough job experience" barrier, featuring Gen Z resume specialist Morgan Sanner - better known to her 83,000 TikTok followers as "Resume Official." The second episode will navigate how to negotiate pay with negotiation expert and Wharton professor Mori Taheripour, who will share tips on what (not) to say when talking about salary and benefits with a prospective employer.

WHO: LinkedIn early career development editor Gianna Prudente and community manager Jamé Jackson Gadsden will guide listeners through the crazy, confusing and occasionally wonderful world of work. The hosts will cover everything from negotiating pay and setting boundaries to crafting a personal brand and forming office friendships. They'll discuss how employees can advocate for themselves (without alienating their boss), stand out (without losing their job), fit in (without betraying their values) and change things (without rocking the boat… too much).

WHEN: "Let's Talk Offline" will debut with two episodes on September 10, 2024. New episodes will be available each Tuesday.

WHERE: "Let's Talk Offline" and all podcasts on the LinkedIn Podcast Network will be distributed by iHeartPodcasts and will be available through the iHeartRadio app, LinkedIn Newsletters and all major podcast platforms. Listen to the trailer now HERE.
