New Series Explores the Life and Legacy of America’s Sixth President, John Quincy Adams

Hosted by Bob Crawford of The Avett Brothers and Featuring the Voices of Patrick Warburton, Nick Offerman, Grey DeLisle and More

Listen to the trailer HERE

New York - April 6, 2023 - iHeartPodcasts, Curiosity Inc., and School of Humans today announced a new history podcast “Founding Son: John Quincy’s America.” Hosted by Bob Crawford (The Avett Brothers) and featuring the voices of Patrick Warburton as John Quincy Adams, Nick Offerman as Andrew Jackson, and Grey DeLisle as Louisa Adams, “Founding Son” tells the incredible story of how John Quincy Adams went from a failed one-term president to an extraordinary ex-president. Additional voice talent includes filmmaker Ken Burns, CNN anchor John King, radio and CNN host Michael Smerconish, musician Scott Avett, and others. The six-episode Curiosity original series launches Thursday, April 13th on iHeartRadio and anywhere podcasts are heard. Listen to the official podcast trailer now, HERE.

In addition to playing bass for the Grammy-nominated band, The Avett Brothers, Bob Crawford recently obtained his Master of Arts in History. He has spent countless hours reading history books in tour buses throughout the country and feels that John Quincy Adams deserves a second look.

“John Quincy Adams is THE most important historical figure that no one knows about,” says Crawford. “He is the bridge between Washington and Lincoln. The man who stood in the gap and kept the promise of American democracy alive when the Slavocracy sought to undermine it. I have dreamed about making a series about John Quincy Adams for years and am so grateful to iHeartPodcasts, Curiosity, and School of Humans for helping bring America’s sixth president to life.”

“A fantastic opportunity working with Bob Crawford and having the opportunity to give voice to an American historical figure such as John Quincy Adams,” says actor Patrick Warburton. “I’m used to having others read for our projects so I was thrilled to get a call from Bob to provide a voice in his John Quincy Adams podcast,” says filmmaker Ken Burns. “I’ve always thought that our history is rich in stories that allow us to understand better who we were – and are – as a people. John Quincy Adams is a founding son but he was also a leading light who can continue to teach us about the early years of our country and, in particular, the original sin of slavery that has had such a tremendous impact on our history. I congratulate Bob and his team for sharing a story that is impactful, engaging, educational and also hugely entertaining. It is history at its best.”

“John Quincy Adams’ passionate advocacy for petitions against slavery and his role fighting other controversial issues are legendary, and the richness of the voices in ‘Founding Son’ truly transport us back to a critical moment in American history,” said Rob Burk, Curiosity’s Head of Content. “iHeart and School of Humans have produced another phenomenal podcast that is sure to keep listeners on the edge of their seat, wanting even more.”

“Founding Son: John Quincy’s America” is a Curiosity Original Podcast and is a co-production of iHeartPodcasts and School of Humans. Curiosity Inc. has partnered with iHeartMedia, the No.1 podcast publisher globally according to Podtrac, to launch the Curiosity Audio Network, featuring original content as well as podcasts that complement programming from Curiosity’s library of award-winning documentary films, shows and series.

The 8-part series hosted by Model, Sustainability Activist and Plant Influencer Summer Rayne Oakes launches April 12, 2023

Listen to the official trailer now HERE

ATLANTA AND NEW YORK – April 5, 2023 – School of Humans and iHeartPodcasts today announce “Bad Seeds”. The phrase “black market” evokes sinister images: Stacks of AK-47s. Crates of cocaine. Caged tigers. But potted succulents on a windowsill? No one is calling Crime Stoppers for that. And yet, the biggest black market you’ve never heard of is blooming right under your nose. Whether it’s a 4,000-pound cactus shoveled from the Arizona desert or delicate orchids pinched from the tangled jungle of Peru, rare plants are at the center of a rapidly growing -- and lucrative -- world of crime. The 8-part series begins with a special Earth Month launch on April 12 with two episodes.

From Mexican drug cartels cashing in by ripping succulents from the desert, or a cabal of corrupt government officials secretly peddling endangered species, “Bad Seeds” looks into an underworld where obsessive collectors and hardened criminals collide. Along the way, we explore how all these crime sprees and coverups affect everyday consumers and enthusiasts -- and the fate of the planet.

Model and sustainability activist Summer Rayne Oakes was stunned when a Modern Farmer feature on her prodigiously verdant Brooklyn apartment went viral in 2016. She catapulted into the forefront of a houseplant trend that peaked during the Covid pandemic. Little did she know that her popular unboxing videos and fame would inadvertently lead some obsessed consumers and suppliers to collect plants through nefarious means to fuel the growing plant obsession.

After years of advocacy in the sustainable fashion and food industries, Oakes urges consumers to take a closer look at how the succulents and orchids adorning homes and Instagram videos are sourced. “To be honest, I feel a level of responsibility,” Oakes says today. “One of the reasons that drew me to host this podcast was to help folks understand the underreported nature of unethical plant harvesting, the detrimental ramifications it can have on the environment, and how we can be more aware of what to look out for.”

In “Bad Seeds,” Oakes talks to the buyers, the sellers, the obsessives, those who came face-to-face with the criminals behind an underworld few know exist. The podcast features interviews with avid plant collectors, US Fish and Wildlife Special Agents, scientists, and historians who show us that the passion for plants has been going on for a long time - from tulip mania in the Netherlands to the poacher who derailed Brazil's entire economy at the height of the Industrial Revolution. We also talk to people on the ground in places where deforestation and plant poaching has taken a grizzly toll.

These stories feature some juicy twists and turns but also expose the real threats to biodiversity that these crimes cause.

“Bad Seeds” is distributed by iHeartPodcasts and will be available on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard.

Previous guests on the show have included Megan Rapinoe, Mallory Swanson (Pugh), Sam Kerr, Briana Scurry, Becky Sauerbrunn, and Rose Lavelle, among others. In giving NWSL fans a candid look at the league and its most talked about storylines every week, episodes with the sport’s most notable guests have given listeners unprecedented access and insights into the lives of the world’s most famous players as they discuss topics ranging from league transactions and pay equity to their favorite inside jokes. Through the new deal with iHeartPodcasts, the No. 1 podcast publisher globally, “Snacks” will now have an even larger platform to drive these larger conversations that often transcend sports from the athlete’s perspective.

"We’re excited to bring ‘Snacks’ back for another season as it’s one of the most important platforms in women’s sports right now,” Haley Rosen, Founder and CEO of Just Women’s Sports stated, “Women’s soccer has been on such an incredible growth trajectory over the past decade, and on this show, two of the game’s most decorated and accomplished players are not only providing their authentic perspective every week as professionals but also as burgeoning media personalities adding to the almost non existent conversations happening about women’s soccer games week to week.”

Lynn Williams mentioned, "We're thrilled to be back for a new season of ‘Snacks.’ We’ve been roommates together, we’ve won championships together, and we’ve represented our country on the national stage together. ‘Snacks’ is our way for us to connect with fans and to continue to grow the game by giving a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to be a professional women's soccer player and all that comes with it: the travel, training, trades, family, friends, injuries, coaches, the wins, the losses, it’s all there.”
