Multi-award-winning and versatile Executive Producer of audio and video for the BBC, Audible, Spotify, Crooked Media, and commercial brands.   With over a decade of experience in all aspects of the Executive Producer role and a solid record of pitching and winning contracts for innovative new formats, I have launched over 25 commercially successful podcasts and delivered them to incredibly high standards. My work has been recognised in Gold Awards from the Amnesty International Media Awards, the New York International Festival, the British Podcast Awards and the ARIAS. I am known for my versatility as I lead large production teams in factual, arts, comedy, drama, entertainment, news, and politics. My expertise in vastly different genres leads me to manage shows with contrasting needs and unique editorial concerns simultaneously. Having held strategic leadership positions at two of the top UK independent production companies, I have a deep understanding of complex budgets, detailed production schedules, editorial guidelines and media law. I ensure innovation, creativity, and watertight journalism in every production - combining editorial excellence with gripping, cinematic sound-design for global audiences. I won Podcast of the Year (2024) and Podcast Champion (2025) at the British Podcast Awards and Producer of the Year at the APA’s, 2023. Gold Award, Producer of the Year, Audio Production Awards, 2023 Judges’ comments: “Anishka’s compelling and affecting audio has emotional resonance. The storytelling moves the listener and impacts the world, illuminating these often untold stories and voices. Anishka deserves the Gold Award - the mark of a totally compelling producer.”
