I'm Robert Mulhern, a multi-award-winning podcast producer, journalist and storyteller who cut my teeth in RTÉ’s The Documentary on One before creating and series producing Sky News’ multi-award winning flagship StoryCast. I design and series-produce immersive audio narratives that fuse rigorous journalism with cinematic style tension led stories. I have led projects from investigative podcasts to long-form series that have earned international awards and been developed by Netflix, Amazon Prime, RTÉ and the BBC. Since 2018, StoryCast has defined my work—pushing editorially ambitious storytelling and delivering high-impact journalism that drives Sky News coverage across platforms. I’m passionate about mentoring talent, commissioning standout pieces, and building podcasts that inform, engage and spark conversations on current events. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss my work at interview.
