Del Fordham
Del Fordham is re-joining Tapt Media (formerly Nine Radio) as head of podcasts.
Tom Malone, managing director, said the appointment is central to digital transformation and growth, with Fordham tasked with leading strategy, commercialisation and innovation.
His remit will extend to reviewing and accelerating Tapt Media's existing podcast slate to target new and younger audiences, working with the sales and digital teams to scale podcast investment and drive revenue through new content distribution opportunities.
Fordham most recently served as director of APAC originals at Audible, an Amazon subsidiary. Before Audible, he founded and served as executive producer at The Edge Off, and held the role of head of podcasts at Nine in 2024. He also served as head of audio at News Corp for four years.
“Many of you know Del from his previous tenure with us, where he was instrumental in laying our audio foundations. He returns after 12 months at Amazon, bringing with him a wealth of global experience and fresh insights into the evolving digital audio landscape,” Malone said.
“Our goal is to grow our digital audio footprint aggressively, and Del’s leadership is a vital piece of that puzzle.”
Fordham starts May 1.
