Back Story

Once upon a time… world-renowned bestselling author Jane Green found herself talking shop with audio industry powerhouse Spencer Brown in their storybook hometown of Westport, CT. The two of them shared a deep love for literature and quickly realized that there was a part of the audio industry that was missing; female-driven, female-led narrative storytelling.

Several years later, a new network was born out of passion, belief, and a commitment to bring the best stories to the podcast world. Jane and Spencer, together with the team at Gemini XIII, created the next great chapter of the written word… Emerald Audio.

In 2024, Emerald Audio converged with award-winning podcast production house, Diversion Audio, operating as its female-focused content studio imprint!
