About

Podcast producer and journalist with a decade of experience turning complex stories into compelling audio — across the UK, Turkey, and global platforms.

I founded medyapod, where I’ve produced award-winning podcasts reaching 100K+ listeners, collaborated with Spotify as a hosting partner across two countries, and produced episodes featuring internationally acclaimed authors like Elif Shafak. I also initiated and organise Turkey’s first podcast summit — now in its 4th edition.

My background spans the full production lifecycle: from pitching and scripting to booking talent, managing studios, post-production, distribution, and analytics. I’ve worked with broadcasters, fintech brands (11:FS), NGOs, and independent creators — bringing the same editorial rigour and project management discipline to every format.

Beyond podcasting, I’ve led EU-funded journalism projects, built editorial teams from scratch, and developed community storytelling initiatives with local governments and universities.

What drives me is the intersection of journalistic rigour and creative storytelling — where a well-reported story meets a format that makes people actually want to listen. I’m driven by stories that matter, and the craft of making them heard.
