Stockholm, 09.12.2024 - Perfect Day Media, one of the Nordics’ largest and most successful podcast studios, is now becoming a key part of the rapidly expanding PodX Group. PodX is acquiring 100% of Perfect Day from its sister company PopHouse Entertainment.  

Patrick Svensk, CEO PodX Group: “We are proud and excited to welcome Perfect Day Media to PodX Group. Perfect Day Media holds a unique position in the Nordic podcast market, excelling at attracting top talent, while also successfully monetizing formats and content. This acquisition perfectly aligns with our vision to become the leading international player in the podcast space.”  

In recent years, PodX Group has made a number of notable acquisitions in the podcast industry, such as Studio Minuit and Nouvelles Écoutes in France, Posta in Argentina, Filt and Suomen Podcastmedia in the Nordics, and Goldhawk Productions, Listen and Platform Media in the UK. Perfect Day Media, known for hits including “Alex & Sigges podcast”, “Ursäkta”, “When we were Kings”, “Gynning & Berg” and “Fredagspodden”, went through a leadership change at the start of the year, when Karolina Sandberg and Tove Barkestad took over from founders Hannah Widell and Amanda Schulman. Since then, the new CEO-duo has successfully grown revenue and improved operating profits. Karolina Sandberg and Tove Barkestad will continue to lead Perfect Day Media following PodX Group’s acquisition.  

Karolina Sandberg and Tove Barkestad, Perfect Day Media: “After an intense and transformative spring, we are thrilled to have earned the continued trust of our new owners to steer the company forward. It’s a privilege to be part of this podcast collective, and alongside PodX Group’s subsidiaries, we see great opportunities for Perfect Day Media’s further development, thanks to the network and expertise within PodX.”
