Stand-out productions
We helped conceive and develop this chart-topping, accessible, entertaining and thought-provoking books podcast. It combines A-list authors, knowledgeable co-presenters, a diverse and engaging band of book clubbers and, of course, one of the world's best-loved presenters - and writers - showing a slightly different side to himself.
98% 5* reviews. Commissioned for Series 5 and 6 in 2023/24. Currently in Audible's Top 10
“I adore this podcast! It’s so interesting, funny, bookish. It’s fantastic entertainment and very
instructive. Please make them quicker, it’s hard to wait for the new series.Graham at his best""My weekly ear candy. Fills me laughter and makes me pick up a book. I always leave with new list of reserved titles in our library. I enjoy every minute."
"I find these podcasts so interesting. Graham is as always an excellent host. The way in which the guests come from different backgrounds make the views interesting and varied. I also like the way he chooses books that you might not think of reading."
Created for Audible through So Television.

Journalist, broadcaster and speaker, Bruce Whitfield was extremely well-known in his native South Africa. He chose podcasting as a way of building his UK career.

Insight Story for Kaspersky
Helping brands connect with their customers
This global brand wanted a technology-based podcast that would capture the attention of top-level execs. We conceptualised and created this 6-part series to provide business leaders with unmissable insight into new tech trends, helping them make better strategic decisions. Covering topics such as blockchain, the metaverse (is it even a thing?), mixed reality and digital trust, we created a format combining top-level subject specialists with real-world case studies.
Plus, our focus was deliberately away from the usual global north-based voices and sourced contributors from, amongst other places, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Korea, South Africa, Turkey and India.
"Insight Story is an absolute must-listen foranyone craving a competitive edge in the tech-driven business landscape.”
"If you're leading a business, a team, or even a campaign, these stories are an easy, entertaining way to tap into tech, where it's at, and where it's going! Great host, great guests, great podcast!”

Who is behind this?
Jayne Morgan
Jayne started her production life with BBC Radio 4 and worked on a wide variety of feature, current affairs and entertainment shows including Start the Week, You & Yours and Loose Ends. She went to South Africa looking for adventure and discovered podcasting She saw its huge potential as a communications tool and, in 2007, launched Podcart, South Africa's first commercial podcasting company, to produce quality downloadable audio content for brands. Now back in the UK, she is a Series Producer creating work for a range of outlets and clients as well as her own originals.
"For me, audio is the most powerful medium there is. Its immediacy, its ability to transfix and transport listeners is unique. That's why podcasting is an extremely useful tool for any business - it delivers genuine attention that cannot be replicated elsewhere. The trick, though, is getting your content right. There are a lot of people not doing that. We are focused on the fact that delivering for a brand, means first delivering for a listener."
Podcart works with a network of talented producers and storytellers to create compelling content for anyone who wants to use audio to communicate with their audiences.
What people have said
"When we got the chance to do the Graham Norton Book Club for Audible, it was Mr Norton himself who said he knew the absolute best person to produce it. And as we have come to expect from Graham he was totally right. Jayne Morgan calmly, efficiently and brilliantly set up the entire operation and proceeded to create an outstanding audio experience for the platform. The great success and returnability of the Book Club is a huge tribute to the impressive skillset of both Jayne and Graham. The moral of the tale is always get Graham Norton to book your senior team and make sure Jayne Morgan is on it."
Graham Stuart, Managing Director, So Television.

"Jayne is incredibly gifted as a podcast producer – she really knows what will work in audio. She’s also a great delight to work with – bringing energy and attention to quality. If you’re considering launching a brand audio series or regular podcast, get in touch with Jayne, she will make the audio magic happen with you!"
