A New Chapter in David Brown’s Podcasting Journey
David Brown is no stranger to transformative, disruptive technologies. With a career spanning nearly three decades, he has been a key player in successful tech startups, led numerous cutting-edge initiatives, and built teams that consistently push the envelope of what’s possible. His transition into the podcasting industry through Futurehand Media reflects his lifelong passion for storytelling and his belief in the power of digital media to both entertain and educate.
Reflecting on his recent membership, David shared his enthusiasm for the road ahead:

David’s membership in the Podcast Academy connects him with leading podcast professionals, creatives, and innovators who are collectively shaping the future of the medium. It also places Futurehand Media in a strong position to enhance our productions with the insights, trends, and best practices that come from collaborating with industry pioneers.
Why The Podcast Academy Matters
For those unfamiliar, the Podcast Academy was founded to support and advocate for podcast creators and industry professionals worldwide. One of its key initiatives is the annual Ambie Awards (the "Ambies"), which celebrate excellence in podcasting across a range of categories such as best hosts, documentaries, and fiction podcasts. The Academy also provides valuable educational resources, networking opportunities, and recognition for members who contribute to pushing the boundaries of the podcasting space.
With the podcasting industry growing rapidly in recent years, the Academy’s role is becoming more critical than ever. It fosters innovation and high standards, while also giving creators the opportunity to elevate their work and reach new audiences. David’s membership will allow him to contribute to this thriving ecosystem while keeping Futurehand Media at the cutting edge of the industry.
Aligning with Our Vision: Inform, Inspire, Entertain
At Futurehand Media, we believe in the power of podcasting as a medium for storytelling and education. Our podcasts under the WithAI FM™ network aim to entertain and enlighten listeners on topics ranging from technology and artificial intelligence to business innovation and human development. With podcasts like Fake Smart, hosted by David himself, we explore timely, thought-provoking conversations that challenge conventional thinking and spark new ideas.
The Podcast Academy will provide David and the Futurehand Media team with access to world-class insights and resources, which in turn will help us refine our content and deliver even greater value to our listeners. We’ll be better positioned to not only create high-quality podcasts but to ensure that they resonate deeply with audiences who are seeking authentic, engaging content.
As David noted:
“Our goal with Futurehand Media has always been to use podcasting as a vehicle for educating and entertaining people around the world. Joining the Podcast Academy will give us the tools and connections we need to keep pushing forward, delivering fresh, innovative content that makes people think, laugh, and learn.”
