Apple TV+ Launches Companion Podcast for Highly Anticipated Original Series "Foundation"

"Foundation: The Official Podcast," hosted by Jason Concepcion and featuring interviews with David S. Goyer, premieres Friday, September 24 and debuts new episodes weekly

Apple TV+ today announces the launch of "Foundation: The Official Podcast," a companion podcast to the drama series "Foundation," the eagerly awaited epic saga based on Isaac Asimov's award-winning trilogy of the same name. Hosted by Jason Concepcion ("NBA Desktop," "Binge Mode," "Takeline") and featuring "Foundation" showrunner and executive producer David S. Goyer, each episode of the podcast will welcome creative talent for a deeper exploration into the making of each of the series' episodes. The podcast will launch alongside the series on Friday, September 24, with new episodes dropping weekly on Apple Podcasts at https://apple.co/FoundationPodcast.

In the premiere episode, Concepcion and Goyer break down the first two episodes of "Foundation": "The Emperor's Peace" and "Preparing to Live." They unpack Goyer's personal relationship to the material, the process of modernizing Asimov's works for television, and why a Star Bridge is a sci-fi lover's favorite technology. Future episodes will feature behind-the-scenes details and commentary from insiders including writer and co-executive producer Jane Espenson, co-executive producer Leigh Dana Jackson, and consulting producer Liz Phang.

"Foundation: The Official Podcast" is produced by Pineapple Street Studios with Max Linsky, Jenna Weiss-Berman and Bari Finkel serving as executive producers.
