National Geographic is launching a new podcast series, Overheard at National Geographic. The short-form, fact-based show will give listeners the inside scoop at the way the world is covered by National Geographic. The show will be hosted by Vaughn Wallace, National Geographic Senior Photo Editor, with each episode being 15 to 20 minutes. The eight-episode, eight-week season will begin June 11, releasing every Tuesday.
“As a kid growing up in Washington, D.C., I used to dream about what it was like to work at National Geographic, a place teeming with real-life adventurers, photographers, and scientists — and I know I’m not the only one,” said Wallace. “With Overheard, we’ve created a way for listeners to join the distinct, awesome conversation that could only happen right here. It’s super exciting to let audiences around the world peer behind the curtain and eavesdrop within the walls of National Geographic.”
“At National Geographic, experiential storytelling is really the common denominator of everything we create and share with our audiences,” said Whitney Johnson, VP of Immersive Experiences at National Geographic. “For decades, our photography and journalism have transported audiences to the farthest reaches of the world, and now, through the condensed, audio format, we’re taking listeners even further.”
The first episode, “Humpback Whale Song of the Summer,” explores the “culture” of the Western Pacific humpback whale and how these creatures create their “song of the year.”
