Pod Squad
Why you should subscribe to Pod Squad now…
It’s hard to find new podcasts.
Pod Squad delivers recommendations the only way you can trust — word of mouth.
It comes from an authoritative source — Kellie Riordan, the creative force behind countless hit shows.
But don’t just take my word for it…
Here’s what my subscribers have to say.
“Word of mouth has always been the single most important way of discovering your next audio obsession, and the Pod Squad newsletter is a fantastic chance to hear about what you should be listening to next from one of Australia's most iconic podcasting luminaries. When it comes to tastemakers, they don't come more qualified than Kellie.”
— Guy Scott-Wilson, ANZ content director, Acast
“It's insightful to get podcast recommendations from not only a keen listener but also a very experienced creator. In a sea of podcast recommendations that often all mention the same shows, Pod Squad pinpoints the pods that live up to the hype and uncut gems many others miss.”
— Courtney Carthy, creative director of podcasts, Mushroom Group
“Kellie, thank you for Pod Squad. It’s perfect! Wnd now with continuing border closures, I’m in need of some external input (beyond my lovely family). This is just what I needed and I’m sure many others will agree.”
— Andrea Desmidt, Pod Squad reader
“With all the ‘best of’ lists that feel repetitive, it’s hard to find recommendations that are insightful and thought-provoking. So many of the podcasts I love have been thanks to Kellie and her Pod Squad newsletter. I know I can trust her tips and how much expertise and thought goes into giving them.”
— Anna Priestland, writer and podcast producer
“I have lots of meetings with clients and prospective clients about podcasts, and it's very helpful to appear to be down with all the latest shows. And now I'm going to reveal my secret weapon. Her name is Kellie Riordan and she writes the Pod Squad newsletter. It's my personal and professional saviour. It feels like a major privilege when her personal podcast recommendations and thoughts appear in my inbox. So, sign up and just remember who told you about Pod Squad first.”
— James Milsom, podcast producer & composer
“I appreciate Kellie's insights and honesty in her reviews for podcasts that have caught her ear. Her wide-ranging experience and interests — from on-the-ground journalism to comedy to the kids and family space — inform her insights. I can always count on a nice range of recommendations from Pod Squad.”
— Arif Noorani, executive producer of CBC Podcasts
“I’m always excited to see Kellie Riordan’s Pod Squad newsletter arrive in my email inbox. She provides thoughtful, well-written reviews and recommendations of many podcasts and has helped me find a number of new favourites.”
— Larry Rosin, president, Edison Research
