About the Show

Hosted by Oona Chaplin, Charlie Chaplin's granddaughter, Hollywood Exiles is a gripping new podcast that tells the story of how Charlie Chaplin became a key figure in a decades-long FBI campaign aimed at rooting out communism from Hollywood.

Oona Chaplin takes audiences on a journey that starts with her grandfathers extraordinary life, revealing a story that will captivate listeners. The podcast sheds light on the extent and impact of the FBI's investigation into Charlie Chaplin and other figures right across the film industry. Some were barred from the Hollywood Walk of Fame, others from the Oscars all had their reputations, careers or families torn apart. The 10-part podcast  features interviews with others affected by these events including the daughter of Hollywood writer Dalton Trumbo, who wrote under a pseudonym, as well as descendants of other exiled writers and actors whose careers were shattered.

Hollywood Exiles will be released on 22nd January 2024, with new episodes available weekly. The podcast will be available on BBC Sounds, CBC Listen, and most global podcast platforms. It will also broadcast on BBC World Service radio.
