The Duke And Duchess of Sussex Podcast Company Welcomes New Head Of Audio

 A great podcast is not only what happens in front of the mic. In fact, it's the vision, the writing, the preparation, the technical savvy, and the confidence that make a podcast "ear worthy" for listeners.

That's why it's notable that the Pivot podcast award-winning producer Rebecca Sananes will be joining Archewell Audio as the Head of Audio. Reporting to Ben Browning, Head of Content for Archewell, she will be joining the Archewell team in August to lead the organization’s creative partnership with Spotify. 

  Archewell Audio was founded by The Duke and Duchess of Sussex in 2020 to produce programming that uplifts and entertains audiences around the world by spotlighting diverse perspectives and voices. As Head of Audio, Sananes will bring powerful stories to life and build community through shared experiences and universal values.

Sananes previously served as the Lead Producer of Pivot with Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway, New York Magazine and Vox Media’s award-winning podcast. The show has won iHeart Best Business & Finance Podcast (2021) Webby Business Podcast of the Year (2020), Webby People’s Choice Podcast of the Year (2020), and Adweek Thought Leadership Podcast of the Year (2019). 

 A podcaster, journalist and storyteller, Sananes has 10+ years of experience in nonfiction narrative storytelling, including working in public radio where one of her projects was awarded the National Murrow Award for Best Audio News Documentary (2018) and the Regional Murrow Award for Excellence in Writing (2018). Additionally, Rebecca received the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting HIV/AIDS Fellowship in 2015. 

  The Pivot Podcast will continue with Recode’s Kara Swisher and NYU Professor Scott Galloway offering sharp, unfiltered insights into the biggest stories in tech, business, and politics. They make bold predictions, pick winners and losers, and bicker and banter like no other. Pivot episodes are released every Tuesday and Friday.
