Naomi Mellor is the co-founder of Everybody Media and the International Women's Podcast Awards. To many people's surprise, she was a veterinary surgeon for 10 years before venturing into the podcast world, initially as a self-taught host and producer, before going on to produce shows for corporate clients including Nestlé Purina and Closer Still Media. She is passionate about the use of podcasting to create social change, and is a strong advocate of raising the voices of women and people of marginalised genders in the industry through community building and collaboration.
