OUR PEDIGREE, IN PRACTICE
Podium is best-known for supporting, nurturing and discovering up and coming, independent, self-published authors.
The company gained international notice when it took a risk on one-time unknown author Andy Weir and turned his e-book, The Martian, into the most successful audiobook in the world. The Martian was the first fiction audiobook Podium published, proving the independent model and creating a strong foundation for the business.
The Martian film was directed by Ridley Scott, starred Matt Damon and went on to gross over $630MM worldwide earning multiple awards and nominations from the Golden Globes, Academy Awards, BAFTA, Satellite Awards and more.
