Campside Media is launching three new weekly podcasts showcasing distinctive personal storytelling from its co-founders and a respected former NPR journalist.
The company, described by The New Yorker as one of the most sophisticated players in the podcast industry, is behind more than forty acclaimed series including Suspect and Wild Boys.
Its new shows are Origin Stories, So Your Parents Are Old, and David Greene Is Obsessed. Each is designed to mix deeply personal experiences with engaging conversations.
The first release, Origin Stories, which launched on 10 September, is hosted by Campside co-founder and New York Times writer-at-large Matthew Shaer. The show takes listeners behind the scenes of creativity, as Shaer speaks to acclaimed journalists, screenwriters, musicians and filmmakers about how great works come to life.
Guests for the series include Noah Hawley, creator of FX’s Fargo and Alien: Earth and writer, director and Pulitzer finalist Dan Taberski (both available now).
Other confirmed guests are Mimi Leder, producer and director of the Apple TV+ series, The Morning Show, investigative journalist and author Patrick Radden Keefe, Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Connie Walker, film documentarian Yousef Srouji (Three Promises), journalist and author Stephanie Foo, and Adam Rapp, playwright whose adaptation of The Outsiders won four 2024 Tony Awards®, including Best Musical.
On 22 October, co-founder Vanessa Grigoriadis launches So Your Parents Are Old, a candid and often humorous take on the challenges of caring for ageing parents while raising children.
The veteran journalist, who has written for The New York Times Magazine and Vanity Fair, brings her experience of interviewing major celebrities to conversations about family dynamics, responsibility and resilience. Guests include comedian Barry Rothbart and real estate agent Tina Fallon.
The third series, David Greene Is Obsessed, arrives on 13 November with former NPR Morning Edition host David Greene at the helm.
Each week, Greene and his guests explore human obsessions, from food and sport to rituals and karaoke, through funny and revealing conversations, supported by insights from neuroscience and behavioural science.
Campside CEO Geoff Isenman said the company’s audience can expect the same compelling storytelling as its hit true crime shows, but with a more personal focus: “Our hosts and their guests are opening up about their journeys in ways that will entertain and inspire,” he said.
All three podcasts will release new episodes weekly across major podcast platforms.
