Taylor Swift’s appearance on New Heights premiered on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, at 7 p.m. Eastern Time. The full video was released on YouTube, and the audio was distributed to podcast platforms. The 7 p.m. time applies to that episode. It is not a standing release hour for every New Heights episode.
Release time for the Taylor Swift episode
Associated Press reported that the episode premiered at 7 p.m. Eastern Time on August 13, 2025. Because that date is in the past, describe the release in the past tense, and always keep the date attached to the time. Without the date, “7 p.m.” reads as a general schedule, which it is not.

Is 7 p.m. the show’s regular release time?
No. The official show destination describes new episodes arriving on Wednesdays during the NFL season. That describes the show’s cadence, not an hourly slot. The 7 p.m. Eastern time is the premiere time reported for the Taylor Swift episode specifically. Other episodes may have been released at different times, and the sources reviewed here do not establish a universal release hour for every episode.
