Dan Snow: How History Hit went from podcast to platform

Listen on

Episode notes

Award-winning presenter and historian Dan Snow has a passion for the past, whether it’s as the face presenting documentaries across the BBC or the voice behind the popular History Hit podcast, which has had a successful run since its launch in 2014. Now, Snow is the creative director of the History Hit podcast network and SVOD platform, home to eight podcasts and over 500 video programmes, after selling his company to Little Dot Studios in 2020. 

Snow sat down with presenter Rhianna Dhillon and Rethink Audio managing director Matt Hill in the latest episode of PodPod to talk about why he believes this is the happiest he’s ever been in his career, what makes a successful history podcast, the importance of super-serving a niche community, and the lessons he learned from failure. 

Hosted by Rhianna Dillon, and produced by Emma Corsham for Haymarket Business Media.
