Foundation, one of the most anticipated shows of Apple TV+, is finally premiering on September 24, the same day Apple starts selling its brand-new iPhone 13 line. Not only that, the company announced an official podcast for this sci-fi show with weekly episodes.

Join host Jason Concepcion and Foundation’s showrunner and executive producer David S. Goyer as they discuss adapting Isaac Asimov’s iconic novels for the screen. Writers from the show chat with Jason and David to unpack the latest episode of the Apple Original series, giving viewers a deeper dive into the story. Episodes of the show and the podcast premiere on Fridays. So watch first on Apple TV+ (where available), then listen to the podcast for the ultimate Foundation experience.

To start, there’s already a one-minute introductory episode that reminds listeners that the show is based on the award-winning novels by Isaac Asimov.

This is not the first time Apple has promoted its original content with a podcast. For example, For All Mankind features a limited show that invites cast members to talk about the show and specialists to explain how missions in space work. You can learn more here.
