We believe every story deserves to reach the world. Poddium is an AI-powered global distribution platform for digital literature, built on one idea: The Story of Everything. From public domain archives to immersive new narratives, we collect, elevate, and reimagine storytelling for readers everywhere.

About us
Building at the intersection of literature, AI, and culture
Poddium is a digital literature ecosystem with a global distribution mission. Founded in Jakarta and now operating with a base in Sydney, we are building the infrastructure for Indonesian and world literature to reach readers everywhere.
Our journey
What we do
Three pillars of everything we build
Every product, every research, every partnership at Poddium traces back to one of these three foundations.
Digitising and conserving public domain literary works so they are never lost, always accessible, and free for everyone.
Building tools, communities, and ecosystems that nurture writers and help stories grow from idea to published work.
Getting Indonesian and world literature into the hands of global readers, and creating pathways for writers to monetise their work.
Research
Curious Minds, Open Findings
At Poddium, we believe research belongs to everyone. Working alongside PACE interns from Macquarie University, we dig into the questions that matter to us, about literature, technology, and the stories that connect us. Everything we find, we share.
