MEACHAM said, “Words matter, and I’m honored to have the opportunity to work again with the terrific team at CADENCE13 to bring some of the most important speeches and moments in our history to life again.”

“When the moment comes that we can look back on 2020, we’ll look to great speeches and leaders that helped guide us through the challenges and opportunities we faced, just as we do with these historic speeches,” said CADENCE13 Chief Content Officer CHRIS CORCORAN. “Having JON MEACHAM guide us through the words and context of these speeches, along with the collaboration of HISTORY, is exactly the type of meaningful content we are passionate to create at C13.”

“At a time when we’re all looking for beacons of hope, it’s incredibly cogent and even comforting to revisit some of the most moving speeches born from other indelible moments in our collective history,” said A+E NETWORKS EVP/Global Content Licensing MARK GARNER. “HISTORY is proud to again partner with JON MEACHAM and CADENCE13 for IT WAS SAID’s audio exploration of past inspiration.”
