Today we are excited to announce that all twenty-two episodes of LEONARD are available on Wondery Media, the premium podcast studio known for stories like “Dr. Death," "The Shrink Next Door,” and “My Favorite Murder.”
Forty of Wondery’s shows have hit #1 on Apple Podcasts, so we’re hopeful that this partnership will bring greater awareness of Leonard’s story to the wider public.
For exclusive ad-free access to Seasons One and Two of the award-winning podcast LEONARD find Wondery Plus on the Wondery App or on Apple Podcasts.
In November, the final four episodes of Season Two will become available across all podcasting platforms in time for Native American Heritage Month.
They will feature advocacy breaks from the founder of CITYarts Tsipi Ben-Haim, Eve 6 guitarist Jonathan Siebels, director / choreographer Paul Becker, author Sheron Wyant-Leonard, Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello, and friend-of-the-show, Chase Iron Eyes.
