I'm Israel Gutierrez. I'm hosting a new podcast called Four Years of Heat. It takes you to Miami from 2010 to 2014

with LeBron James, Chris Bosch and Duane Wade, set the NBA ablaze.

You know, having an opportunity to team up with the best trio to ever play the game of basketball

will take you inside those four monumental years with behind-the-scenes access and insight about one of the greatest teams ever

for a sum of four years of heat on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
