Jay Walkerden’s Podshape reveals new podcasts, Spotify partnership

Independent podcast publisher Podshape has launched three new shows.

The first episode of all three, including Little Lost Girls, Step Outside and Girls + Wine = Inappropriate Conversations, are now streaming.

Little Lost Girls is the story of Joanne Ratcliffe (11) and Kirste Gordon (4), two Australian girls who went missing while attending an Australian rules football match at the Adelaide Oval in 1973.

Ratcliffe’s sister Suzie is still searching for answers, 47 years after the disappearance.

In this 6 part new true-crime series there are rumours of a child pedophile ring in Adelaide, possible connections to the Beaumont children disappearance, a $1 million reward and the bikie who took on police to help solve the crime.

Step Outside is a new lifestyle podcast hosted by TV presenter Paul ‘Burty’ Burt.

‘Burty’ explores the outdoors while connecting with some of the best outdoor enthusiasts as they share their personal tips and cracker stories from around the country, and the world.

Girls + Wine = Inappropriate Conversations is a weekly “catch up over dinner and wine” podcast, where no subject is off-limits. It is co-hosted by Rachel Thaiday and Katie Mattin.

One of Podshape’s flagship podcasts, the twice-daily ‘Your Morning Mantra’, has also been included in the new Spotify Daily Wellness podcast playlist.

“We are so excited to have some great new titles join our stable and also to be included as an independent in the Spotify Daily Wellness playlist is just mind-blowing,” Podshape’s head shaper Jay Walkerden said.

“We are already seeing an excellent jump in our listening numbers”.

Podshape, launched by Walkerden in April, clocked over one million downloads last month.
