History Hit podcast brands expand to YouTube

April 7, 2025

History Hit, the SVoD, content platform and podcast network, has announced the launch of three new stand-alone YouTube channels for After DarkThe Ancients and its flagship podcast, Dan Snow’s History Hit. This expansion marks a significant step in History Hit’s evolution, allowing it to continue to bring historical content to new audiences in different ways.

After Dark delves into the fascinating and often scandalous history of the night, exploring topics from debauched royal parties to the murky world of Victorian crime. The Ancients takes audiences back to the world of antiquity, shedding light on legendary figures like Alexander the Great and exploring groundbreaking archaeological discoveries. Dan Snow’s History Hit, sees Snow in in-depth conversations with leading historians discussing pivotal moments in history, from the D-Day landings to the fall of Rome.

History Hit’s expert production and channel management team will manage the channels in-house. The After Dark YouTube channel will launch later this April, followed by Dan Snow’s History Hit and The Ancients.

Steve Lanham, Head of Podcasts at History Hit, commented: “Expanding onto YouTube is a natural next step for History Hit as we continue to grow our podcast audience. YouTube provides an incredible platform to reach new viewers while offering our existing listeners another way to engage with our shows. With the expertise and insights from our successful YouTube channel, we’re uniquely positioned to translate our podcast production into compelling video content.”
