Evergreen Podcasts Partners with Crowd Network to Elevate Standout UK Shows
Cleveland, OH — Evergreen Podcasts (Evergreen) proudly announces a strategic partnership with Crowd Network, an independent podcast network based in the UK and renowned for unforgettable stories and personalities. Evergreen introduces outstanding shows from Crowd Network, notably, We Didn't Start The Fire, a pop culture history podcast inspired by Billy Joel's song.
“We are so inspired to be working with Crowd Network,” noted Michael C. DeAloia, CEO of Evergreen Podcasts, “They are a strong, captivating voice in the podcast industry, and we share a commitment to deliver diverse, high-quality content to a global audience.”
Mike Carr, CEO of Crowd Network added,
“Evergreen has a great reputation in the North American market - we were looking to partner with an ambitious and creative company to take our US focused content to a wider audience. We are very impressed with the monetisation and marketing strategy the team at Evergreen put together and look forward to a successful partnership.”
Crowd Network enriches Evergreen's portfolio with nine standout shows spanning genres such as history, true crime, documentary, and fiction:
We Didn't Start The Fire: A modern history podcast inspired by the lyrics of Billy Joel. Billy didn’t just write an unforgettable smash hit with ‘We Didn’t Start The Fire’; he also created the most fascinating, random, and original history of the post-war world. Each episode has a new lyric and a fresh subject, all presented by Katie Puckrik and Tom Fordyce. It's politics, rock 'n' roll, sport, space, television, and the Cold War, explored and explained by historians, eyewitnesses, and mega-fans. Billy started it. We're going to finish it.
Death of a Rock Star: Powerful, poignant, and raw stories of music legends from Kurt Cobain to Whitney Houston. The series explores the impact and legacy of these influential figures.
Death of Rock Star: David Bowie - David Bowie is dying, and no one knows it. No journalists, no fans. Just the chosen few. His wife. His grown-up son, his young daughter. A handful of others, all sworn to secrecy. And he’s been rushing to get songs recorded, videos made, plays performed. Because his life's always been about reinvention, about creativity, about working out who you are, what you want to say, about control of image, and intent, all those wild incarnations – the costumes, the make-up, the poses. All those characters he becomes – Ziggy Stardust, the Thin White Duke, the Man Who Fell To Earth. And now, he's releasing one more album. It’s time for the final performance. The last great artistic move...
Death of a Film Star: A follow-up to Death of Rock Star, this series delves into the lives and legacies of film icons like Heath Ledger, Chadwick Boseman, and James Dean.
Death of a Film Star: Heath Ledger - When you see the news, his face stays with you. Heath Ledger as the Joker. Smeared in white grease paint, a slash of red across the mouth, a shock of dark blue around the eyes. When you take on a part so completely, it’s hard to get out. Things merge. Actor and character meet and mix.
But Heath’s not that Joker. He’s another. Because he’s an actor who doesn’t play by Hollywood’s rules. He’s a man who doesn’t follow suit…
Death of a Sports Star: Unforgettable and tragic stories of sports superstars like Kobe Bryant and Ayrton Senna. The series reflects on their meteoric rise, fall, and the impact on fans.
Death of a Sports Star: Kobe Bryant - Where were you, when you heard? In the opening episode of the series, we tell the story of the final act of basketball superstar Kobe Bryant – how it unfolded, what it meant, how we all felt about it. It’s Kobe, but as you’ve never heard him before.
American Vigilante: True crime with a twist, exploring the complex life of the American Vigilante who delivers justice beyond the law.
KC is the American Vigilante - A hugely complex, intelligent, contradictory man who could save your life but end it too. Who leads a group of violent men standing on the blurred line between right and wrong, between revenge and redemption. A man you want on your side when it all falls apart.
American Vigilante is true crime, but so much more. It’s saving abducted children, it’s stepping beyond the law. It’s rescue missions, assassination attempts and last-gasp protection. It’s all the stuff you hope never comes to you, until it does.
Murder in House Two: What really happened in the Haditha Massacre of November 2005, when 24 unarmed Iraqi civilians were shot multiple times by a group of US Marines. This podcast is about one man’s fight for justice, about how the US government tried to prevent the truth from ever getting out, about paranoia and persistence, and an unshakeable belief in what is wrong and what is right.
Dot Com: The internet is an increasingly anonymous and faceless place. Or at least, that's what we're told. Dot com is the podcast documentary series about the people of the web, drawing back the veil on the faces of the internet in a way that can give us hope, but also leaves questions about its future.
In series one, host Katie Puckrik explores the complex universe of Wikipedia, where nerddom rules, communities thrive, and information is everything. It's fascinating, it's weird, it's stories you've never heard before. But there are lies and darkness behind that veil, and it's catching.
Eliza: A Robot Story: Tanya Reynolds (Sex Education) stars in a dark, near-future science fiction fairytale about a robot who can feel, and the world that attempts to control her. When a robot called Eliza falls in love with Him (Arthur Darvill, Doctor Who), they work together to make her fully sentient. But consciousness doesn’t come without consequences. As Eliza gets caught in a web of both loving and abusive relationships, she has to fight to survive. #OneVoiceRaisesAnother
