New Books Network is the world’s largest academic podcasting platform. We’ve helped institutions like Princeton University Press, the Sydney Southeast Asia Centre, and the New York Institute for the Humanities reach a highly educated audience of more than 2,000,000 yearly listeners. Over the past 17 years we’ve recorded, edited, produced, and published more than 25,000 podcast episodes. NBN listeners have downloaded these episodes over 130 million times.

Podcasting is one of the best ways that scholars, academic institutions, foundations, and think tanks can directly reach their target audience. NBN Productions is here to help these organizations reach their stakeholders through podcasting. Most podcast producers offer decent editing services, but they struggle when it comes to distribution. NBN Productions is different: we will not only produce your podcast, we will also distribute it to the NBN's hundreds of thousands of listeners. In short, NBN Productions guarantees an interested audience from the get-go. No other podcast production shop can match this service.

Whether your organization already has a podcast or is thinking about publishing a podcast, NBN Productions is here to help. We have years of experience producing and distributing podcasts, our services are very competitively priced, and we offer features that no other podcast production company can match.

If you represent an academic institution, foundation, or think tank and are interested in learning more about NBN's professional podcasting services, please fill out the form below or email Caleb Zakarin (caleb@newbooksnetwork.com).
