The podcast world is buzzing with excitement as Kylie Kelce's Not Gonna Lie has received its first major nomination. On January 14, the 32-year-old mother of three shared the news via Instagram, revealing that her show is up for the Best Emerging Podcast at the 2025 iHeart Radio Podcast Awards. Kelce expressed her surprise and gratitude, acknowledging the support from her listeners, whom she affectionately calls "NGL-ers." She also took a moment to commend Caleb Hearon’s So True podcast, which is nominated in the same category, highlighting its impact on her personal social media experience.

Kelce launched Not Gonna Lie in partnership with Wave Sports + Entertainment on November 25, with the inaugural episode airing on December 5. Since then, she has tackled a wide range of topics, from parenting and social media dynamics to women’s sports advocacy. In the debut episode, Kelce discussed leveraging her newfound platform to address issues close to her heart, emphasizing the importance of controlling her narrative and amplifying voices in women's sports and philanthropy.

Kelce’s venture into podcasting has garnered significant attention, including praise from her husband, former NFL star Jason Kelce. During an episode of New Heights, he proudly announced that Kylie's podcast had reached the top spot on Apple Podcasts. Despite initial reservations about talking to herself, Kelce has embraced the opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations with remarkable guests, further enriching the content of her show.

The weekly episodes of Not Gonna Lie continue to drop every Thursday, inviting listeners into a space where candid discussions and insightful interviews thrive. Kelce’s journey from launching the podcast to receiving this prestigious nomination showcases her dedication and the growing influence of her voice in both media and advocacy circles. The recognition from iHeart Radio underscores the potential and promise of emerging talent in the podcasting industry.
