So Dramatic! launched in 2020 and has evolved from a solo passion project into a multimedia powerhouse. It has had more than 18 million podcast downloads with 400k followers on social media and 150k unique monthly users for the So Dramatic! news website.
Co-founder and Head of Creative Megan Pustetto said:
“Kind Regards was the obvious next step for me after everything I’ve achieved so far with So Dramatic! Each show has been carefully curated and created with the intent to entertain, empower and engage Millennial and Gen Z audiences. Every episode is like a handwritten note to the listener – personal, powerful and packed with personality.”
Co-founder and Head of Production Alex Jae added:
“We built the network we wish had existed.
Creator-first, women-led and vibing at the intersection of culture, connection and controlled chaos. We have a strong focus on real stories, bold perspectives, raw voices and content that sticks with you long after you’ve stopped listening.”
There are already more titles in development with Kind Regards aiming to become Australia’s new home for progressive, unfiltered, culturally relevant audio storytelling – and a major player in the creator-led media space.
Acast is the hosting, distribution and monetisation partner for So Dramatic! and podcasts in the Kind Regards Network.
