Audiocraft, Australia’s leading podcast production company, welcomes Lorna Clarkson as its new Head of Production.

With over three decades of experience in music curation, broadcasting and audio storytelling, Clarkson joins Audiocraft after her recent role as Head of LiSTNR Parenting and Kids Entertainment. Innovation has always been at the heart of Clarkson’s work, part of the founding team of Kinderling Kids – Australia’s first broadcast radio station for children and families.

Clarkson not only designed the trailblazing music rotation (tailed to kids AND their grown-ups), but went on to create Kinderling’s suite of award-winning children’s podcasts, including Busy Bodies, The Fact Detectives and Bedtime Explorers (with over 30 million downloads… and counting). Her wealth of experience and passion for podcasting heralds and exciting new chapter for Audiocraft.

At Audiocraft, Clarkson’s leadership and oversight across their podcast productions will ensure the company continues to create sound rich and immersive storytelling in the rapidly evolving landscape of digital media.

Commenting on Clarkson’s appointment, Audiocraft’s Founder and CEO Kate Montague expressed enthusiasm for the future: “Lorna’s track record of creative excellence and her commitment to audio storytelling make her the perfect fit for Audiocraft. She’s a true innovator and we’re thrilled to welcome her aboard as we embark on our next chapter of growth.”
