About Us
Message Heard - Podcasts with Purpose
Whether it’s creating our own investigative shows such as Finding Natasha, winning the True Crime BPA for our show The Catch, or working with charities and media companies to create shows like the ARIA nominated Power Lines, Message Heard always creates shows with purpose.
Our podcasts tell the stories that others miss, they are driven by powerful characters with complex motivations.
Podcasts are a powerfully intimate way to tell stories. We take that responsibility seriously.
We develop, produce and grow our own successful podcasts… such as Conflicted, with over 1 million listens in 2024 alone, partner with some of the biggest media companies in the world, being the first independent production company to have a Spotify commission.. and work with brands to help them do the same. Including the likes of… House of Commons, Red Bull, British Council and many more.
Everyone has a story to tell — but how do you tell it in a way that really resonates? We keep audiences at the centre of everything we do, focus on audio quality and champion creative storytelling.
