  Nickelodeon has announced a partnership with iHeartRadio to create two podcasts based on some of its biggest shows, SpongeBob SquarePants and Avatar: The Last Airbender.

  The SpongeBob show is called SpongeBob BingePants, and it's hosted by SpongeBob fans and personalities Frankie Grande and Hector Navarro. There will be 40 episodes in the re-watch podcast where Grande and Navarro talk about individual episodes and share "never-before-heard secrets" about the iconic animated show about a sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea. This show is scheduled to premiere later this year.

  Avatar's podcast is called Braving the Elements, and it debuts on June 22. It's hosted by Janet Varney (the voice of Korra) and Dante Basco (the voice of Prince Zuko), and it is also a re-watch series. The two actors will talk about each episode and share trivia that fans might be interested in. There will also be special guests throughout the season, including other cast members and producers who will shine a light on how the show came to be.

  iHeartRadio's Will Pearson added, "I'm not sure you could pick two better franchises to kick things off, and there's much more to come. We can't wait for fans to hear these shows."

  The SpongeBob and Avatar podcasts will be available everywhere you can think of, including iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.
