Download Press Release

HILLSDALE, Mich. — The Hillsdale College Podcast Network surpassed two million downloads across its seven programs in 2023.

“Although the college has been producing its own audio content for a few years, the Hillsdale College Podcast Network officially was launched earlier this year, and it is exciting to see its rapid success,” said Scot Bertram, director of the Hillsdale College Podcast Network. “Our shows provide listeners with many opportunities to strengthen their connection with the College and draw closer to the teaching and discussion that happen on Hillsdale’s campus.”

Hillsdale College first entered into the audio space in 2012 with The Hillsdale Dialogues, a weekly radio hour hosted by nationally syndicated radio personality Hugh Hewitt that explores the great ideas of Western and American civilization through conversations with Hillsdale College President Larry Arnn and members of Hillsdale’s faculty.

In 2023, the college announced the launch of the newly integrated Hillsdale College Podcast Network. HCPN exists to support Hillsdale’s mission, offering nationwide access to Hillsdale’s audio content and currently includes seven shows: The Larry Arnn Show, Hillsdale Dialogues, Radio Free Hillsdale Hour, The Hillsdale College Online Courses Podcast, Beyond the Bubble, Imprimis, and the Hillsdale K-12 Classical Education Podcast.

The Hillsdale College Podcast Network’s shows are available on major podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts. Listeners can subscribe to the network’s shows for free and receive new episodes as they become available.
