We’ve been working on a lot more long-form material here at Woofer and we’re excited that one of those projects, “Crossroads of History,” is finally about to premiere this Thursday on the History Channel at 11:30pm.
Each episode highlights a crucial, hilarious, and yet surprisingly little-known moment in history. As the music supervisor (and history buff), I’ve thoroughly enjoyed researching the diverse array of periods and styles (e.g. fin de siècle Vienna, American Civil War, pre-Columbus Caribbean), and working with our composers (and artists like Nik Freitas and He’s My Brother, She’s My Sister) to bring that sound to life.
History has just released the first teaser for the show, which is part of a whole new block of comedic content they’re promoting together as #NightClass, which also includes “Great Minds with Dan Harmon” (the creator of “Community”) and “How To Lose the Presidency.”
“Crossroads” was created by writer/actress Elizabeth Shapiro, and also features the talents of Paul Scheer (“The League”), Brian Baumgartner (“The Office”), Jack McBrayer (“30 Rock”), Lou Diamond Phillips (“Blindspot”, La Bamba), Angela Kinsey (“The Office”), Keir O’Donnell (“Fargo”), Wayne Knight (“Seinfeld”), as well as fellow Maker Studios creator Lloyd Ahlquist (“Epic Rap Battles of History”).
Hope you get to check it out, learn something, and laugh along the way!
