Are Media moves further into video podcasts with new role
Rachel Fountain will lead Are Media's charge into the video podcasting world
Are Media has appointed Rachel Fountain to the newly created role of head of vodcasts, where she is tasked with “accelerating the company’s expansion into premium video-led storytelling”.
Fountain spent 13 years at the ABC as a radio and podcast producer, and more recently worked at News Corp, where she was executive producer of the podcast Dear Rachelle.
Her hiring is another clear indication that Are Media is increasing its focus on the podcasting space, following the recent investment into purpose-built facilities at its Sydney offices, and a distribution deal with ARN’s iHeart.
