Since inception, Podium Entertainment has been devoted to amplifying the work of emerging and best-selling authors and supporting independent creators at every turn of their journey—from publication and marketing to monetization and distribution. Podium, originally founded as an audiobook publisher, now supports all traditional book formats, including print, e-book, and audio. Its diverse catalogue features more than 10,000 titles in genres such as romance, fantasy, science fiction, LitRPG and more. Podium aims to bring this breadth of titles—including New York Times bestselling series Expeditionary Force and Crowns of Nyaxia and cult fan favorite He Who Fights with Monsters—to audiences everywhere.
Earlier this year, Podium announced distribution partnerships that will make their audio titles available to more listeners than ever before, including through Audible, Spotify, Apple Books, Storytel, and Audiobooks.com, and in libraries via OverDrive and hoopla. The announcement comes on the heels of Podium’s 2024 partnership with Two Rivers Distribution, an Ingram Publisher Services LLC brand, to expand the availability of its authors’ print books and to reach readers everywhere.
Indie authors are at the heart of Podium’s publishing business, and the majority of the proj-ects they acquire are from authors who have forged direct relationships with readers via platforms like Kindle Direct Publishing, Patreon and Wattpad. The company has rapidly emerged as one of the largest audio publishers in the world. Among Podium’s recent hits is the audiobook edition of Callie Hart’s #1 bestselling romantasy sensation, Quicksilver. The company also acquired Bookstat in 2022 and after elevating the data service's capabilities every major publish-ing company in the world is now a subscriber in addition to Spotify, Netflix, ByteDance and several industry leading film & tv studios.
Podium thrives on thinking beyond convention and championing authors who share that spirit of innovation. With its new audiobook distribution partnership, Podium is ready to bring more stories to audiences everywhere.
