History Hit, the renowned podcast, SVOD, and content platform founded by historian Dan Snow and acquired by award-winning digital content studio and media network Little Dot Studios, has recently launched its latest podcast series, “After Dark: Myths, Misdeeds & the Paranormal.” This intriguing series aims to delve into history’s spookiest, strangest, and most sinister stories, offering true crime, paranormal, and folklore enthusiasts the opportunity to uncover the true facts behind these dark and unusual tales.
Co-hosted by Dr. Anthony Delaney and Dr. Madeleine Pelling, “After Dark” will take listeners on a journey to explore the darker side of history. With episodes airing every Monday and Thursday, this podcast promises to shed light on the mysteries surrounding true crime and the paranormal, offering a unique insight into the true history behind these stories.
Recognizing the growing popularity of true crime and paranormal stories within the podcast community, History Hit aims to satisfy the curiosity of its listeners by providing them with a fresh perspective on these topics. Moreover, “After Dark” marks History Hit’s first podcast with two hosts on each episode, adding a new dynamic to the network.
The first four episodes of “After Dark” titled “The Origins of Halloween,” “HMS Terror,” “Murder in Ancient Rome,” and “Graverobbing: Burke & Hare” will be available for free on all podcast platforms, including Apple and Spotify, starting from October 16th.
Dr. Anthony Delaney, one of the co-hosts of “After Dark,” expressed his excitement about joining the History Hit team and shared a glimpse into what listeners can expect from the podcast. He stated, “If you’ve ever wondered what hauntings, body snatching, murder sprees, or the Loch Ness Monster can tell us about how people in the past lived (and lost) their lives, then this is the podcast for you. Maddy and I have uncovered some truly spine-tingling tales from the archive and cannot wait to share them with you on After Dark.”
Dr. Madeleine Pelling, the other co-host of “After Dark,” added, “We are delighted to invite listeners of After Dark to join us in peeping through keyholes, retracing steps, and digging in the archive to find out just what people in the past got up to at night. Together, we’ll bring historical inquiry to the world of folklore and myth to uncover how people experienced darkness, how they slept, made love, betrayed, policed and punished each other, how they told stories, and both handed down and challenged traditions.”
In addition to its widely successful SVOD, History Hit is known for producing chart-topping podcasts such as “Dan Snow’s History Hit,” “Gone Medieval,” and “Betwixt the Sheets.” With a network that currently delivers over 9 million listens a month across 7 podcast shows, History Hit has established itself as the largest global podcast network dedicated to history.
