Is factually.co affiliated with adam conover?
Executive summary
Public reporting shows that Factually! is a podcast hosted and fronted by comedian Adam Conover and distributed on established podcast networks (Headgum, Art19/earlier Earwolf), and Adam’s official site and multiple platforms list him as the host and operator of the show [1] [2] [3]. Available sources do not mention a separate entity named “factually.co” or state that a site with that exact domain is affiliated with Adam Conover (not found in current reporting).
1. Who runs “Factually!” — Adam Conover is consistently listed as host
Adam Conover is repeatedly credited as the host and public face of the podcast called Factually! across his official website and major podcast platforms: his own site promotes “Introducing: Factually! – Adam’s new podcast” and episode archives [1]; the Art19 RSS and related feeds identify the show as “Factually! with Adam Conover” [2]; and networks such as Headgum and iHeart show the program under his name [3] [4]. These sources present a clear, consistent linkage between the program title “Factually!” and Adam Conover as its host [1] [2].
2. Distribution and network partners — Earwolf/Art19, Headgum and platform listings
The show’s distribution history and current hosting partners appear in platform metadata: Adam announced the original launch on Earwolf in 2019 [5], feeds run through Art19/RSS [2], and current listings show Headgum and other podcast directories carrying the program [3] [6]. Those platform pages present the podcast under Adam’s name, indicating network-distributed production rather than an unrelated standalone site [3] [6].
3. “factually.co” — no coverage or explicit affiliation in the provided reporting
Your question asks specifically whether factually.co is affiliated with Adam Conover. The results supplied include multiple references to “Factually!” the podcast and to factuallypod.com/book links inside episode notes [2], but none of the provided sources mention a domain spelled exactly “factually.co” or document an affiliation between that specific domain and Adam Conover (not found in current reporting). Because the available sources don’t mention factually.co, I cannot confirm an affiliation from this reporting alone.
4. Possible sources of confusion — similar names and hosted pages
Podcasts often use multiple domains and landing pages for promotion (for example, episode book lists at factuallypod.com appear inside show notes) and are hosted on network pages (Headgum, Art19) while the host’s personal site cross-links episodes [1] [2]. That proliferation of similar names and URLs makes it easy to conflate an official Adam-run site (adamconover.net, network pages) with any other site using “factually” in its domain; however, none of the supplied sources identify factually.co specifically [1] [2].
5. What would confirm an affiliation — direct linking or network ownership statements
To establish that factually.co is affiliated with Adam Conover you would need explicit evidence in reporting or from primary sources: (a) the domain referenced on Adam Conover’s official site or the show’s official feeds [1] [2], (b) a network page (Headgum, Art19, Earwolf) that lists that domain as an official show site [3] [2], or (c) WHOIS/ownership records or public statements linking Adam or his team to that domain. Those confirming items are not present in the provided results (not found in current reporting).
6. Bottom line and next steps for verification
Based on the supplied sources, Factually! is Adam Conover’s podcast and is distributed via Earwolf/Art19, Headgum and mainstream podcast platforms [5] [2] [3]. The specific domain factually.co is not mentioned in these sources, so affiliation cannot be confirmed from the current reporting (not found in current reporting). If you want a definitive answer, search for (a) the factually.co site itself and check for ownership/contact info, (b) any WHOIS/domain registration records, and (c) whether Adam Conover’s official channels (adamconover.net or the show’s RSS/pages) link to factually.co; none of those steps are reflected in the sources provided here.
