NOT JUST ANY PODCASTS. GREAT ONES.
I'm Monique Bowley. I've made hit shows, fixed broken ones, launched ideas from scratch, wrangled talent, stared down strategy decks - and built plenty of my own.
I was Mamamia's first Head of Podcasts. Then I ran the ABC's podcast division, ABC Audio Studios. And these days, I work with brands, networks and creators to turn good ideas into great podcasts.
I'm not into churning out content, or people who say "I don't even know what I'm going to talk about", or podcasts that get made because the CEO saw a microphone on Tik Tok.
I've sat in boardrooms and I've also cut tape. I still do both. And I've sat in enough podcast commissioning meetings to know the difference between a great idea, and three people in a room saying "It's a bit like.....Hamish and Andy, meets The Rest Is History..."
I'm into making podcasts that are smart and strategic and sticky.
I don't work with everyone. I work with people who understand a great podcast is an investment. A trust machine. A long game. A tiny cult in your audience's ears. A vehicle that makes people feel things.
Because when they're done properly, a podcast goes way beyond audio.
