Topline:
This Old House Radio Hour is a new hour-long weekly program hosted by This Old House editor Jenn Largesse. The show is the go-to destination on the radio and on-demand for all things home improvement, DIY, and restoration, bringing the same expertise and insights of the original and beloved TV home improvement show. The podcast is co-produced by LAist Studios, This Old House Productions, Ember 20 and distributed by American Public Media (APM).
New show details: Each week on This Old House Radio Hour, host Jenn Largesse and the show’s team of trusted experts will answer listeners’ home repair questions, share expert advice and quick fixes, and gamify their knowledge with a fun quiz to identify a mystery sound. They’ll also highlight powerful stories of artisans, builders and visionaries, about craftsmanship and the places we call home. From historic restorations to practical fixes, This Old House Radio Hour celebrates the art of doing things right.
Why it matters: This Old House Radio Hour episodes will bring listeners a unique blend of practical advice and in-depth storytelling.
“Southern California is home to every type of dwelling and architecture, and the LAist audience has consistently identified housing issues as a top interest,” said Shana Naomi Krochmal, VP of LAist Studios. “That was true for Angelenos even before the recent wildfires, and as so many in our community begin the long and difficult process to rebuild and resettle, we hope this show can be a familiar and helpful companion.”
How can I listen? Catch the show on the radio at LAist 89.3 Saturdays at 1 p.m. PST and Sundays at 10 a.m. PST.
Subscribe to This Old House Radio Hour on the LAist app, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Spotify and wherever podcasts are available. New episodes drop Tuesdays.
