With Wendy taking out first place, she receives a production and marketing grant and also access to the Nova production facilities to create her podcasts.

Wendy expressed that she is “absolutely over the moon” with the win.

“I love podcasts, I think it’s great being able to listen on demand and I hope people will be able to enjoy the journey of Doomsday,” she said.

Jay Walkerden, NOVA Entertainment’s Head of Podcasting added: “Wendy’s ability to give us an insight into the minds of doomsday preppers in a fun and engaging way while showing respect to the content providers was exceptional.”
