S3E1: The Department of Nike Archives (DNA) with Scott Reames

We’re starting fresh this season. For starters, we decided to go back to basics and rebrand as the History Factory Podcast. Why? Because we want to continue to serve you, our listeners, with content that best fulfills our mission of making clients’ history and heritage infinitely useful in pursuit of their missions. And that starts with our name. For fans of “History Factory Plugged In,” fear not: This doesn’t represent a departure so much as an evolution of the same great content you love. Our new format will feature guest hosts and a slate of all-star guests from some of the world’s leading companies. This week’s episode features Scott Reames, Nike’s former corporate historian and head of the Department of Nike Archives (DNA). Scott recently retired and spent some of his newfound free time speaking with guest host Erin Narloch, History Factory’s senior director of business insight & performance. The two discussed the hit movie “Air,” how DNA came to be, the value and uses of the Nike archives, and more.
