From catwalk to charts: Rachel Hunter’s new podcast hits #1

AUCKLAND, Today: Rachel Hunter’s new podcast Human/Spirit has launched to instant success, hitting #1 on Apple Podcasts NZ in its first week.

Backed by local talent agency Frank Management and its podcast division, Frank Podcasts, the series explores identity, purpose and spirituality with six episodes featuring guests like Tāme Iti and Dame Lisa Carrington.

Rachel, who splits her time between New Zealand, India, LA and London said, “In each episode we explore what it truly means to live with purpose, passion, and authenticity – exploring the stories and insights that drive them.

“I’m so excited to share this with the world. I couldn’t have done it without my incredible guests – and of course, a BIG shout out to Frank Podcasts!”

Developed and recorded in-house, Human/Spirit is part of Frank Podcasts’ growing slate of talent-led shows. The Auckland-based studio handles everything from production and post to social media and monetisation.

Founder Mike Minogue said, “Our podcast studio was born from a desire to give our talent – and the wider market – new ways to express themselves creatively while unlocking additional revenue streams.

“Rather than waiting for opportunities to come knocking, we aim to create them.

“Human/Spirit is a great example of how we help talent take control of their platforms, and produce content that’s both meaningful and commercially viable. And of course Rachel is a natural and charismatic host.”

Frank Podcasts also produces hit shows like Between Two Beers, Wellington Paranormal: The Podcast, and Sports Cafe-ish. It’s quickly become a go-to studio for talent-led content in New Zealand.

“Frank Podcasts was created for brands and individuals looking for high-end, well-priced podcast production,” Minogue added. “We also help shape creative direction, post, socials and ad partnerships.

“Podcasting is growing fast, and we’re building the infrastructure to support that growth here in Aotearoa New Zealand.”

Off the back of its strong debut, Human/Spirit is already in pre-production for Season 2, with brand partnerships currently in the works. New episodes are out weekly on all major platforms.
