Miranda Lambert is set to executive produce and be a featured castmember on the upcoming scripted podcast, “Make it Up As We Go.” The series, which debuts October 1st on iHeartPodcast, stars musician Scarlett Burke as an aspiring female songwriter trying to make it in the music industry, and follows her journey to find her own voice.

“I built a career telling stories, specifically through music,” Miranda tells “People.” “I was drawn to a new form of storytelling with podcasts, which I have never done before.” Miranda admits she can “relate” to the main character, noting, “I came to Nashville 18 years ago and really started cutting my teeth as a songwriter and performer.”

She adds, “So I can relate to the trajectory of a singer/songwriter’s career that comes with many highs and lows. This story captures those moments in a compelling narrative.”

In addition to Miranda, the podcast will feature Dennis Quaid, Billy Bob Thornton, Bobby Bones, Lindsay Ell and Craig Robinson. It will also include original music from Miranda, Lindsay, Burke and Nicolle Gaylon.
