What is HERA

A podcast network that doesn't sound like every other podcast network.

HERA was born from a simple observation: the most interesting women in the room rarely get the microphone. We're fixing that. Not with polite panel shows. With proper stories, sharp opinions, and production that looks and sounds like it gives a damn.

🎥

Video-first

Every show is built for video. Not radio repurposed for YouTube. Cinematic, visual, designed for how people actually consume content in 2026.

🤖

AI-powered production

We use AI across the entire pipeline. Research, scripting, editing, distribution. It means a small team can produce at the quality of a large one. That's the whole point.

🔥

Female-led, not female-lite

Founded, hosted and produced by women. Covering every topic, not just the ones the industry thinks women care about. Politics. Crime. Business. Money. Power. All of it.

The media industry keeps talking about the creator economy. We're building the infrastructure for it. Female voices, AI tools, stories that people actually want to watch.
The founders

Three women. Three decades of media. One network.

Nishma Patel Robb spent 10 years at Google, helped launch Bard v1 (now Gemini), the first generative AI product in the UK, built the most talked-about executive events in the industry, and knows how to turn a brand from invisible to unmissable. She brings creative and commercial instinct and an AI brain.

Rosie Allimonos and Kirsty Hunter bring deep experience in production, distribution and commercial media. Together, the three founders have built and scaled content businesses across broadcast, digital and social.

HERA isn't a side project. It's a registered company backed by real expertise, and built to scale.

The network

Shows that cover everything. Through a female lens.

HERA is building a slate of original shows across every genre. Each one is video-first, AI-enhanced, and hosted by women who actually have something to say.

Business
Business + Brands

Coming soon

What really happens when you build something from scratch. The funding rounds, the failures, the moments nobody talks about on LinkedIn.

Politics
Politics + Power

Coming soon

Political commentary that doesn't require a Westminster postcode to understand. Sharp, opinionated, and refreshingly direct.

Crime
True Crime

Coming soon

True crime through a different lens. Not exploitation. Investigation, context, and stories that haven't been told to death already.

Relationships
Relationships + Life

Coming soon

Honest conversations about the stuff that actually keeps you up at night. Relationships, boundaries, money, ambition, and everything in between.

Tech
Tech + AI

Coming soon

AI and technology explained by people who actually use it, not just theorise about it. Practical, opinionated, and jargon-free.

Culture
Culture + Entertainment

Coming soon

Film, TV, music, books, and the cultural moments that shape how we think. Reviews, deep dives, and the conversations you wish you were having.

The AI advantage

AI is the amplifier. The stories are the point.

Every HERA show uses AI across the production pipeline. Not to replace the humans. To let a small, brilliant team compete with the big networks.

Research at scale

AI-powered research means deeper stories, faster. Every episode is backed by more context than a traditional team could compile in weeks.

Production efficiency

From scripting assistance to edit assembly to clip generation. AI handles the repetitive work so the creative team can focus on what matters.

Smart distribution

AI-driven clip selection, thumbnail testing, and audience targeting. Every piece of content works harder because the distribution is smarter.

Multi-format output

One recording becomes a full episode, shorts, social clips, newsletter content, and audiograms. AI makes the content engine sustainable.

Work with HERA

Sponsors. Commissions. Brilliant talent.

We're looking for sponsors who want to reach engaged female audiences, commissions for new shows, and talent with a brilliant idea that must be made. Through a female lens, obviously.
