At Pocket FM, we’ve seen growth that doesn’t come from titles or timelines. It comes from people who show up, take ownership, and quietly make things better — for their team, their work, and the people around them. Some stories reflect that spirit so naturally. They don’t need big words. You just feel them. This is one of those. And it reminded us of the kind of growth that often goes unseen but never unfelt. #PocketfulOfJoys Anant Kumar

Over the weekend, a few teammates visiting from the US joined us for a game of Pickleball. Most of us didn’t know the rules. But with good company, little laughter, and someone shouting 'out!' every few minutes, it didn’t really matter. No trophies were won. Just sore arms, big smiles, and a good end to the week. That counts, right? ❤️ #PocketfulOfJoy

Introducing Pocket XTRA — the official Pocket FM blog. We have been quietly building. Exploring new markets, experimenting with formats, building a playbook and learning as we go. Now, we finally have a small space to pause, reflect, and share. Pocket XTRA is where we open up about: – What we’re building – How we’re thinking about scale – The lessons we've picked up along the way – And the myths we’ve had to unlearn It’s our way of sharing a little extra... the thoughts, experiences, and behind-the-scenes moments. Whether you are into tech, storytelling, or just curious about what goes on behind the scenes at Pocket FM, we hope this gives a closer, more human view of our journey. We are kicking it off here, and we promise, it will be worth the scroll: https://xtra.pocketfm.com/ More stories coming soon. Just a bit of XTRA from our journey to yours.

A writer's pinch-me moment: seeing the show "My Vampire System" on the #TimesSquare Billboard! I was part of the Promo team for this (and other shows).... It was very cool to witness our vampire protagonist, Quinn Talen, towering 30 feet tall. Finally made it to Broadway, ma! 🌟 #WritersLife #promos #copywriting #pocketfm #writer #broadway

𝐅𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 '𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐞𝐭' 𝐁𝐈𝐆 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐨! Fantasy storytelling seems to be finding a new life, but not in the way we usually think - neither big-budget productions nor celebrity casts. A recent piece in OK! Magazine explores how long-form, serialized audio storytelling is quietly reshaping the way listeners engage with fantasy. The numbers are surprising: some series now span over a thousand episodes, with audiences spending upwards of two hours a day immersed in these fictional worlds. It raises some thought-provoking questions: Are we starting to see the early seeds of original IP built entirely from audio? The shift may be subtle, but it’s worth paying attention to. Is audio the new launchpad for long-form, franchise-worthy IPs, esp. in the fantasy and sci-fi genres? 👉 𝑆𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑦 𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑘 𝑖𝑛 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠
