About Us
Who is
Emerald Audio
Your New Favorite Podcast Network.
We’re the ones that live for #booktok and the next season of The Summer I Turned Pretty. We create meaningful connection and community through female-driven storytelling, in digital audio form. Our podcasts are created by nationally recognized content creators, writers and producers, and our mission is to pave the way for a future filled with female-forward audio content and a community that feels like you’ve found a new binge-loving, supportive, big smart(but also living for the drama) sort of girl squad.
Back Story
Once upon a time… a world-renowned bestselling author (Jane Green) found herself talking shop with an audio industry powerhouse (Spencer Brown). The two of them shared a deep love for literature and quickly realized that there was a part of the industry that was missing; female-driven, female-led narrative storytelling.
Several years later, a gem of a network(hehe) was born and Emerald dedicated itself to creating high-quality, scripted series AND finding the best independent content creators of the non-fiction variety too.
In 2024, Emerald Audio converged with Webby Award-winning podcast production house and publishing company, Diversion. Emerald operates as Diversion Audio’s female-focused imprint.
But our story has only just begun… xoxo
