It Was Said, the 2021 Webby Award winner for Best Podcast Series, returns with a new season to look back on some of the most powerful, impactful, and timeless speeches in history. Written and narrated by Pulitzer Prize winner and bestselling author-historian Jon Meacham, this documentary podcast series takes you through another season of ten generation-defining speeches. Meacham, along with top historians, authors and journalists, offers expert insight and analysis into the origins, the orator, and the context of the times each speech was given, and they reflect on why it’s important to never forget them. 

It Was Said is a creation and production of Peabody-nominated C13Originals, in association with The HISTORY® Channel.


How does a generation, often defined by memes and digital natives, actually engage with the political world shaping its future? iGen Politics, from Politicon, moves beyond the headlines and hot takes to explore the lived experience of politics for the newest wave of voters and activists. This isn't a lecture series; it's a documentary-style journey into the movements, cultural shifts, and personal stories that define political life right now. Each episode digs into a single topic, blending narrative storytelling with insightful interviews, to understand how policy, government, and societal change are filtered through a distinctly contemporary lens. You'll hear from organizers, artists, researchers, and everyday people who are navigating this landscape, offering a ground-level view that statistics often miss. The iGen Politics podcast provides context for the noise, examining the intersection of news, culture, and power without assuming prior expertise. It’s for anyone curious about why things are the way they are and where they might be headed, listening not for partisan debate but for a deeper, more nuanced understanding. Tune in for a thoughtful, human-centered exploration of the forces at play in our collective life, one story at a time.
