A New Kind of Freedom: Jeff Pegues Joins ALIVE Podcast Network for History-Making Streaming Debut

Jeff Pegues headlines ALIVE Podcast Network's Juneteenth streaming debut on Roku, Apple TV, and Fire TV.

WASHINGTON, June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In an era where trust in traditional media is eroding and the fight for authentic representation intensifies, award-winning journalist Jeff Pegues is stepping into bold new territory—unfiltered, unrestrained, and unapologetically real.

On June 19, "Person of Interest with Jeff Pegues" will make its debut as a flagship original on the ALIVE Podcast Network®, now making history as the first Black woman-owned podcast network to simultaneously launch across Roku, Apple TV, and Fire TV.

Renowned for his commanding presence on CBS News and in-depth reporting on justice and national security, Pegues is now shifting gears—challenging what some might consider the gatekeeping status quo of mainstream media.

"This show isn't about sensationalism—it's about substance," says Pegues. "ALIVE gives me the freedom to follow the real story and examine the people and perspectives too often ignored by traditional media."

As the U.S. commemorates Juneteenth, marking the delayed emancipation of enslaved people in America, ALIVE stands as a modern-day declaration—a platform where Black creatives are free to tell their stories, their way.

"We chose Juneteenth on purpose," says ALIVE founder and CEO Angel N. Livas. "ALIVE isn't just a platform— it's a proclamation of creative freedom. It's a safe haven for storytellers to speak truth to power, to shape culture without code-switching or compromise."

"Person of Interest" leads a powerful slate of original content launching with ALIVE's streaming expansion—featuring creators whose work reflects the depth, range, and brilliance of the Black experience.

This next chapter solidifies ALIVE as more than a podcast network. It's a revolution that will be televised. A one-stop destination for curated, culture-rich content that informs, inspires, and ignites.

"I'm thrilled to collaborate with Livas, who is a visionary who believes in and is committed to creating content options for all communities," says Pegues.

Beginning June 19, viewers can stream "Person of Interest" and other newsworthy programming like Pivotal Moment, Minding My Damn Business, Healing Through Conversations among others on Roku, Apple TV, and Fire TV. Just search, download, and watch the ALIVE Podcast Network!
