About This Podcast

The Curated Chapter — formerly Newsgram — is hosted by Sam Youmans and brings you hand-selected stories from independent voices. Through thoughtful, documentary-style episodes, you’ll discover remarkable lives, unexpected truths, and the moments that change everything.

Every book begins with a single chapter. But behind every chapter is a life — and the moment an author decides their story matters enough to share. It begins with an idea. A memory. A tradition. A desire to preserve history… or give shape to experiences that might otherwise be forgotten. Think of this podcast as a quiet corner of a good bookstore — where someone who loves stories pulls one off the shelf and says, “You should take a look at this.”

In each episode, we meet the author behind the pages — not just to talk about their book, but to understand what compelled them to write it in the first place. Fascinating people. Hidden stories.

Welcome to The Curated Chapter.
