This month, HISTORY launched its first original podcast, HISTORY This Week. Hosted by acclaimed radio producer Sally Helm, HISTORY This Week revisits historical events that occurred “this week,” with the latest episode looking at Auschwitz and its survivors 75
years after its liberation.
“With its robust slate of programming, the HISTORY This Week podcast is a natural extension of the HISTORY brand — meeting our audiences where they are with the content they crave, continuing a true 360-degree experience,” said Mark Garner, EVP Content Licensing and Business Development, A+E Networks.
The first of several podcasts that HISTORY plans to launch in 2020, HISTORY
This Week turns back the clock to meet the people, visit the places, and witness the moments that led society to where we are today. Averaging about 20 minutes in length, each episode explores such diverse topics as the 1964 public health announcement wherein the U.S. Surgeon General decried that smoking was bad; the Great Boston Molasses Flood that devastated the North End; Apple’s iconic 1984 Super Bowl commercial that launched the very first Macintosh computer; and the ratification of the 15th Amendment.
HISTORY This Week is available from Apple Podcasts, Spotify or other podcast platforms. A new episode will drop every Monday.
