Tucker Carlson announces new podcast, original series with FOX Nation
'Tucker Carlson Tonight' host announces collaboration with on-demand streaming service
FOX Nation announced a new, multi-year deal with top-rated Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Wednesday to provide content for the on-demand, subscription-based streaming service.
Carlson will release at least three new video podcast episodes a week beginning in April, which will feature interviews with newsmakers and analysis of key issues. He will also debut in April a monthly series of in-depth specials called "Tucker Carlson Originals," which will delve into topics with more depth than a typical television program.
Both the podcast and the specials will only be available on FOX Nation, and a trailer for the new endeavor can be seen here.
Carlson will continue to host his top-rated cable program "Tucker Carlson Tonight," weeknights on Fox News Channel at 8 p.m. ET.
