CONCORD, Mass., OCT. 18, 2019 —The Emmy Award-winning series This Old House will enter the podcast space with the debut of Clearstory.
Launching October 24th, Clearstory is a podcast that sheds light on the surprising stories behind our homes. Host Kevin O’Connor digs into the systems, structures and materials in our homes from unexpected angles. Why is the window the ultimate machine? What can Las Vegas teach us about lowering our water bills? How did the Great Chicago Fire change the way we frame houses today? How do you build the perfect roof? You’ll hear from Richard Trethewey, Tom Silva, Norm Abram, Jeff Sweenor and the This Old House experts, as well as industry leaders, historians, and builders. Clearstory – your home in a new light.
“The launch of the Clearstory podcast marks a new chapter in the storied history of the most trusted brand in home improvement,” said Dan Suratt, CEO, This Old House. “This Old House has entertained and informed audiences for more than 40 years, and Clearstory will build on that tradition with a unique approach that goes beyond how-to advice to tell the oft untold stories of our homes.”
The name Clearstory is a play on clerestory windows – an architectural term for a section of windows above eye level with the purpose to admit light and/or fresh air into a space.
