WHAT: Launching today, July 9 from iHeartPodcasts and Thoroughbred Studios, “BUZZ” is a new scripted audio series starring legendary actor John Lithgow (“Conclave”) as narrator and voice of famed astronaut Buzz Aldrin as he reflects on his life and career. Penned by “24” writer Stephen Kronish, the limited series is a gripping audio thriller that peels back the myth of Apollo 11 to reveal the raw, untold story of Buzz Aldrin, a space pioneer, troubled hero, and relentless survivor. As Cold War tensions flare and the race to the Moon reaches its climax, Aldrin confronts rivalries, near-disaster, and personal demons that threaten to unravel both the mission and himself. Told with urgent intensity and psychological depth, “BUZZ” is a powerful reimagining of a legendary moment in history where courage, collapse, and the true cost of heroism collide.

“BUZZ” is a co-production of Thoroughbred Studios, Goldhawk Productions, and iHeartPodcasts. 

WHO: Created by Stephen Kronish and Directed by John Scott Dryden. Starring John Lithgow as the Buzz Aldrin of today and Geoffrey Arend as Apollo 11 Buzz Aldrin. Produced and cast by Emma Hearn for Goldhawk Productions. Executive Produced by Jeremy Fox and Howard Stringer for Thoroughbred Studios, John Scott Dryden for Goldhawk Productions, Stephen Kronish, and Jason English for iHeartPodcasts.

WHEN + WHERE: Distributed by iHeartPodcasts, the first four episodes of “BUZZ” are available today on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard. New episodes will be available on Wednesdays.
