MIK MADE Nominated for Network of the Year at 2024 Australian Podcast Awards

MIK MADE continues to cement its reputation as a trailblazing podcast production house with its nomination for Network or Publisher of the Year at the 2024 Australian Podcast Awards.

The only independent company to be nominated for the award, MIK MADE has made a name for itself among the country’s top broadcasters, reiterating the importance of providing new voices a platform in the mainstream media.

MIK MADE is recognised for producing some of the most successful titles in this year's charts, including Big Small Talk, which delivers the week’s biggest stories in a bold, fresh format. The MIK MADE lineup also includes Black T-Shirts, an interrogation of creativity in advertising and beyond, and Give Me a Buzz, created in collaboration with Bumble and a nominee in the Commercial Branded Podcast category.

MIK MADE is the audio production arm of Sydney-based MIK Studio. With all content produced, crafted, and conceived in-house, MIK MADE has mastered the art of creating content that resonates with audiences worldwide.

“We’ve taken a new approach to podcast production and distribution,” said Adam Callen, founder of MIK Studio. “Podcasting is traditionally an audio-first experience, but it’s far more than just sound. Successful podcasts require thoughtful branding, visual design, and engaging social content to truly connect with audiences. We’ve also invested heavily in cutting-edge technology and infrastructure that allows us to create high-quality podcasts. It’s great to be acknowledged for our holistic approach.” 

MIK MADE also prides itself on integrity and success with brand partnerships across their podcast catalogue. Dylan Adams, partnerships director and custodian of MIK MADE elaborated on this: “At the heart of brand partnerships is relevance. Brands should feel like a natural extension of the podcast and vice versa. We’ve worked with the likes of Koala, Tempus One and Bumble because of their authenticity and relatability amongst podcast listeners."

The team at MIK are no strangers to recognition, having clinched the ‘Spotlight Award’ at the 2022 Australian Podcast Awards for Who is Daniel Johns? Additionally, they received nominations for Two Broke Chicks and Talking Frank.

Notably, the studio is also credited with national favourite podcast Anomalous, featuring star talent Em Rusciano.
