Podium Audio

Introduction Podium Audio is an audio-first entertainment studio and independent audiobook publisher that finances, develops, produces and distributes immersive audio content.  Originally Podium Publishing, the company rebranded to Podium Audio in 2020 to encompass all audio endeavors, while still continuing their primary business of publishing audiobooks.  Podium gained international notice for turning unknown author Andy Weir’s e-book The Martian into the most successful science fiction audiobook in the world. The first fiction audiobook Podium Audio published, The Martian created a strong foundation for the business, going on to become a top box office, award-winning film directed by Ridley Scott, starring Matt Damon. Podium Audio remains at the forefront of discovering new literary and voice talent, focused on supporting, nurturing and discovering independent authors and narrators from the U.S. and around the world.

Expeditionary Force In this vein, Podium was very lucky to partner with Craig Alanson in 2016 to publish Expeditionary Force Book 1: Columbus Day. Since then they have published all 10 books in the series, as well as both books in the Expeditionary Force Mavericks series. They are currently hard at work on Book 11 of ExForce, which will bring you more of the genius pair R.C. Bray and Craig Alanson. Data-driven, Podium stays on the bleeding edge of what’s trending in the audio world. It is an industry leader in the audiobook genres of Science Fiction and Fantasy and a pioneer in bringing the popular sub-genres of Gamelit, LitRPG, Wuxia and Xianxia to the fore. Additionally, Podium publishes mystery/thriller, young adult, romance and non-fiction genres. For more info on Expeditionary Force, R.C.
