Goalhanger

Over the past year, Goalhanger has completed a decisive transformation. What began as an audio-first podcast company is now a platform-agnostic cultural media brand, shaping national and international conversation across audio, video, live events, social platforms, and membership. This evolution has delivered exceptional audience growth, landmark cultural recognition, record-breaking new IP launches, and a high-margin revenue model built for long-term sustainability.

In the last 12 months alone, Goalhanger generated 1.8 billion video views and streams, more than doubling year-on-year, alongside 750 million full-episode streams. The business built a 250,000-strong paid membership base, delivered multiple sold-out live event series across the UK and Australia, and announced a festival-scale partnership with the Southbank Centre. A critically acclaimed rebrand launched to widespread positive press coverage, generating tens of millions of organic views across brand assets and campaigns, accelerating recognition and engagement across video and social platforms.

The year included a record-breaking launch of a new science show, a landmark Netflix partnership for The Rest Is Football, and saw The Rest Is History named Apple Podcasts Show of the Year 2025 the first UK-based podcast ever to receive the honour. This is Goalhanger. For the curious.
