Stockholm, May 20th, 2025 – PodX Group, the leading international podcast group, proudly announces its plans of releasing two groundbreaking podcasts, a co-production and an adaptation, marking a milestone in the company’s push for group collaboration. 

This marks a major step in PodX’s mission to unite talent and IP across borders - and to bring world-class stories to audiences everywhere. 

Two standout podcast projects underscore the creative synergies emerging across PodX’s global group: Murder in Åland, a drama thriller co-produced by Goldhawk Productions (UK) and Suomen Podcastmedia (FI), bringing together top-tier storytellers from two podcast powerhouses for release in both UK (BBC) and Finland (YLE). Meanwhile, 28ish Days Later, a critical success in the UK, originally created by Listen (UK), is being adapted by Suomen Podcastmedia for Finnish audiences. 

Both series are slated for release later this year, offering audiences compelling content born from an international partnership. 

Patrick Svensk, CEO PodX Group: “This is what our game is all about. We’re not just investing in podcast studios - we’re building a creative ecosystem with stories, formats, and talents by connecting brilliant, creative minds across markets, developing stories that can travel, while also unlocking new ways to monetize them across our portfolio. ” 

These two releases exemplify PodX’s mission: to build a connected global podcasting group that can co-create and amplify content across territories. By uniting creative teams from different countries on joint productions and by adapting proven formats for new markets, PodX is showing the strength of its portfolio. The company’s model is built on the idea that sharing talent and intellectual property across its studios can spark innovation and significantly expand the reach of great stories. 

Murder in Åland is a high-stakes cross-border thriller that tells the story of a mysterious murder that threatens to unravel geopolitical stability in the West. The show is co-produced by Goldhawk Productions (UK) and Suomen Podcastmedia (Finland) - both part of PodX Group’s global group. The series represents a first-ever collaboration between these studios, and it will be published in both English and Finnish, making Murder in Åland a bilingual podcast destined for dual release. Written by Satu Rasila, Mikko Kouki and Akseli Kouki, the series will be directed in both Finnish and English by Mikko Kouki, and recorded on location in Finland. 

28ish Days Later is an award-winning podcast series about the menstruation cycle, originally created by UK-based studio, Listen. Based on the original BBC Radio 4 podcast, the format now enters a new chapter as Suomen Podcastmedia adapts it for Finland - a transformation that brings vital conversations to a new audience in their own language and cultural context. This marks the first format adaptation within the PodX ecosystem - a clear signal of the company’s ambition to unlock new value from existing IP, while amplifying local creative voices.
