Overview
- FOX News Audio plans to debut the 52-episode series on November 30, releasing four batches timed to Advent, Christmas week, Lent and Palm Sunday.
- Reporting indicates the podcast draws heavily from the 2010 Truth & Life Dramatized Audio Bible, with Ainsley Earhardt newly recording episode introductions.
- Representatives for Kristen Bell, Brian Cox, John Rhys-Davies and Malcolm McDowell say they learned only this week that archival performances were being reused.
- Bell’s team says she did not give permission for the repurposing and is reviewing the legality of Fox’s use of her 2010 recordings.
- A Fox spokesperson says the project was licensed with full cooperation from all actors, while Rolling Stone cites a producer email asking talent not to reveal the audio’s age.
