ABOUT US

Moonpie Media is a boutique podcast studio focused on human-centered audio storytelling.

We work with independent creators, cultural institutions, and global brands to develop podcasts that are thoughtful, rigorous, and emotionally resonant. Our projects are rooted in strong reporting, careful structure, and a deep respect for the people and stories at the center of the work.

We’re especially drawn to stories that sit at the intersection of culture, identity, memory, and power. Stories that don’t flatten complexity, rush to conclusions, or talk down to the audience. Stories that trust listeners to sit with nuance and reflect.

Moonpie Media was founded by journalist and producer Shannon McGarvey, whose work spans narrative nonfiction, investigative reporting, and culture-driven, impactful audio. Past collaborators include The Atlantic, Hauser & Wirth, Ferrero, and a range of independent creators and institutions.

What we do best:

• Narrative nonfiction and limited series
• Branded podcasts with strong editorial integrity
• Victim-centered true crime and investigative audio
• Arts, culture, and thought-leader conversations
• Mission-driven and impact-focused storytelling

We offer both strategic consulting and full end-to-end production, from early concept development through recording, post-production, and launch.

If you’re interested in working together, get in touch through the contact page. We’d love to hear what you’re thinking about.
