Chris Black and Jason Stewart Launch 'How Long Gone Today' Video Series

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Acclaimed novelist ("Americanah") whose essays and talks offer sharp critiques of culture and feminism.

The popular podcast "How Long Gone," hosted by Chris Black and Jason Stewart, is expanding its reach by launching a video series. This new format, titled "How Long Gone Today," will be available on platforms like YouTube and Spotify, marking a significant step for the bicoastal duo. The venture, undertaken in partnership with Talkhouse and Amplify Pictures, aims to bring the hosts' unique cultural commentary to a visual medium while their established audio podcast continues its regular schedule of approximately three episodes per week. This move represents a strategic evolution for the brand, allowing for a broader engagement with their audience.

Chris Black and Jason Stewart first hinted at this new video endeavor in December 2025 with a special "Year in Review" episode. The upcoming series is set to feature a variety of content, including interviews with notable guests, engaging musical performances, and other unique segments that will be progressively introduced throughout 2026. The exact frequency of these video episodes has not yet been specified. This expansion allows the hosts to explore new dimensions of their content creation, leveraging the visual medium to complement their existing audio offerings.

Reflecting on the decision to embrace video, Chris Black commented on the natural progression of their work, stating that this visual approach felt appropriate for both them and their listeners. He noted that it serves as an organic extension of their audio podcast, enabling them to integrate into platforms like YouTube's algorithm. Ian Wheeler, founder of Talkhouse, humorously added that this initiative would finally allow a wider audience to see Chris and Jason, whose faces might previously only have been recognized from various prestigious magazine pages, thus correcting a perceived oversight.

Since its inception in 2020, "How Long Gone" has carved a niche for itself by delving into diverse topics such as culture, music, fashion, pop culture, and media. Black, based in New York, and Stewart, located in Los Angeles, consistently produce content that ranges from their unscripted discussions to insightful interviews with a wide array of personalities. Over the past year, the podcast has welcomed distinguished guests, including journalist Olivia Nuzzi, DJ and producer Mark Ronson, and actor-musician Joe Keery from "Stranger Things," further solidifying its reputation as a significant voice in contemporary cultural discourse.

The introduction of "How Long Gone Today" signifies a deliberate evolution for the podcast, embracing a visual format to deepen audience connection and broaden its cultural impact. This new series promises to maintain the distinct charm and insightful commentary that listeners have come to appreciate from Black and Stewart, now enhanced by the added dimension of video.
