Hallmark Media, known for its heartwarming content, is making an exciting foray into the world of narrative podcasts with the launch of its original series, “Crimson Hearts Collide.” As part of the Mahogany content initiative, this podcast marks Hallmark’s entrance into the narrative podcast market, promising a new dimension to its storytelling prowess.
Scheduled for release on August 24, the first two episodes of “Crimson Hearts Collide” are set to captivate audiences with an engaging narrative. Subsequent episodes will be unveiled every Thursday, ensuring a consistent flow of content for eager listeners, accessible across various podcast platforms.
The podcast centers around the captivating character of Sonora Williams, a tenacious and accomplished attorney based in the bustling city of New York. A pivotal moment arises when Sonora receives an unexpected letter in the mail, informing her of an inheritance – a farm in the picturesque landscapes of Alabama – left to her by her recently departed uncle.
The twist in Sonora’s life narrative triggers a cascade of emotions and questions. Having grown up in foster care with no knowledge of any living relatives, the sudden revelation of family ties raises a poignant query: Why did her uncle maintain silence until now? Determined to uncover the truth, Sonora embarks on a journey to the tranquil Alabama setting, where she encounters intriguing personalities managing the farm. Among them is the charismatic cowboy Zeke Summers, who quickly captures her attention and sparks intrigue.
Produced in collaboration with AYR Media under the guidance of Aliza Rosen, “Crimson Hearts Collide” features a talented cast of seasoned performers. Malinda Williams, recognized for her role in “Soul Food,” Amanda Seales from the hit series “Insecure,” and Keith D. Robinson, known for his appearance in “Sister Swap: A Hometown Holiday,” bring their craft to life in this immersive podcast experience.
Mahogany, a legacy brand of Hallmark that boasts a rich history of over three decades as a beloved card line, has transformed into a media entertainment venture. The Mahogany content initiative resonates with Hallmark’s values, weaving stories that embody family bonds, community spirit, connections, and the positivity that emanates from Black culture.
