Courrielche, Cortez and Premiere Networks will co-produce Red Pilled America, a weekly storytelling series that promises only one thing – the truth.  Each episode will search for answers in the stories of forgotten men and women of America.  Why is the middle class shrinking?  What is causing the homeless crisis in Los Angeles? Is “fake news” really a new phenomenon? These are just some of questions that will be covered by hosts Courrielche, a former physicist and long-time Hollywood correspondent for Breitbart News, and Cortez, a writer, short film producer, and marketing expert.

“Premiere Networks is simply the best audio programming company in America and we are honored to be working with them,” said Patrick Courrielche and Adryana Cortez, creators of Red Pilled America. “There are so many voices across this great country that are being ignored. We are excited to tell their stories through our new iHeartRadio Original Podcast.”

“Patrick and Adryana are a powerful creative and investigative force,” said Julie Talbott, Premiere Networks President.  “With their background in journalism and marketing, they’ll expertly guide listeners through the tough questions and topics that Americans face every day in a crowded and often conflicting media landscape. We’re confident Red Pilled America will inform, entertain and enlighten audiences.” 

Courrielche and Cortez are no strangers to tackling tough questions. In 2017, they designed, developed and launched right-of-center media’s first long-form journalism platform for Breitbart News with the publication of Tinseltown Travelogue. Together, they also created, produced, and co-wrote a widely heralded web series starring comedians Sarah Silverman, Tracy Morgan, and Andy Samberg called The Darker Side of Green. The semi-scripted global warming debate series garnered press accolades from Variety, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. Courrielche and Cortez also helm a non-traditional marketing and publicity agency Inform Ventures, best known for pioneering the pop-up retail phenomenon, and its lead creative contributions and guidance in the creation of Intersect by Lexus | NYC – a brand gallery launching Fall 2018.
