So every week, I’ll talk to a fascinating person who can help us understand the moment we’re in, from politicians to CEOs to movie stars and more,” said Alter in a statement to Deadline. “After nearly ten years at TIME, 15 cover stories, and four national elections, I’m so excited to dive into audio journalism with the Person of the Week podcast.” “TIME has been delivering impactful stories for over a century now, and launching our first original podcast is an exhilarating new chapter in that storied history,” stated Mathias. “This isn’t just about embracing a new medium, it’s about bringing our passion for storytelling to life in a format that offers a unique, intimate connection with our readers and draws a new, listening audience to TIME. I’m thrilled to be collaborating with TIME’s phenomenal editorial staff on this journey – their dedication, experience, and journalistic integrity are what make our conversations truly stand out.” Remarked Co-Heads of Time Studios, Mike Beck and Alexa Conway, “We’re excited to bring TIME’s storytelling to audio and expand our relationship with Sugar23 to provide audiences with meaningful and impactful content across all platforms.” Added Oscar-winning Sugar23 principal Sugar, “Person of the Week features conversations with the people who shape every facet of our lives. One of the joys of working with TIME is the brand’s relentless curiosity about our world and how to make sense of it. Charlotte Alter has proven herself as a Senior Correspondent at TIME, and uniquely she brings journalistic insight, keen analysis, and warmth and openness to each and every conversation.” Time’s television, film, audio, and immersive division, which has emerged as the legacy media company’s fastest-growing business, Time Studios has developed and sold projects to such streamers and distributors as Netflix, Amazon, Paramount+, HBO, Showtime, Nickelodeon, ABC and CNN Films, among others.
