Doomsday, a podcast by Wendy John is the winner of NOVA Entertainment‘s second Podquest series.

Podquest is an initiative that was launched to discover and support new and emerging podcasts from around Australia.

Nova Entertainment received another high number of quality and diverse entries from talented content creators across the country.

​Wendy (left) was one of those applicants and has won a production and marketing grant and access to NOVA Entertainment’s production facilities, technical expertise and distribution channels to create her podcast series.

In Doomsday, preppers’ face-off with serious science for a pop-culture smackdown with Wendy John – a new mum freshly infected with anxieties about everything from nuclear war to a zombie apocalypse.
 

Episode one, to be released on Tuesday 5 September, will see celebrity preppers David and Lisa Oldfield reveal all their secrets from their Sydney bunker.

Jay Walkerden, NOVA Entertainment’s Head of Podcasting said, “Doomsday stood out to our judges. 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. We are excited by this very different podcast.”

Wendy’s winning podcast was selected from the top ten finalists by an internal and external industry panel including Henrik Isaksson, Country Manager at Acast, the world’s leading technology platform for on-demand and podcasting.
