Walked out of corporate radio to build something that actually sounds like home.
People's Media Co is an independent Aotearoa media company — home of The Morning Shift and everything we make next. The stuff a generation actually watches. We don't chase the algorithm — it chases us.
Three mates, one mic, every weekday from 5am. What started in a garage is now the most-listened-to podcast in the country — culture, sport, the funny stuff, and the conversations a generation is actually having.
Pick a vibe and we'll point you at the episode that hits — straight to Spotify.
Walked out of corporate radio to build something that actually sounds like home.
Says the thing the whole car is already thinking. The everyman of the show.
20 years behind the desk in NZ radio. Turns daily chaos into an actual show.
↳ Real crew photography in. Bios are short placeholders — final wording drops in.
Merch that doesn't look like merch. Launching with a tight core range — built to grow.
↳ Store lives on tmspodcast.co.nz — this section links out (cleanest for launch).
No fast food. No loans. No gambling. We only stand next to brands the audience can trust — because that trust is the whole business. These crews already back the show:
↳ Real partners. Logo lockups drop in once supplied.
2.5M+ engaged followers and a Gen Z audience that actually listens. Tell us what you're after and Charli will come back with a real plan.
One short email a week — the best bits, new drops, and what the crew's actually talking about. No spam.
