About us

Madison Catania
CO-FOUNDER
Madison Catania is the CEO and co-founder of a new startup called Wildcast; a networking platform and community for the podcast industry that seeks to bring together podcasters, networks, guests, and agencies to enable them to connect, interact, engage and collaborate. While pursuing an MBA degree at the University of California, San Diego, Catania discovered a love for podcasting because of the way it connected with people and how it can bring new ideas to the forefront.
Catania decided to follow her passion for podcasts and joined the pre-production team for a top-50 Society & Culture podcast, before eventually joining a network where she led the production team working on a variety of well-known podcasts, including Off the Vine with Kaitlyn Bristowe, Your Favorite Thing with Wells Adams and Brandi Cyrus, Sorry We’re Stoned with Brandi and Tish Cyrus, Riled Up with Matt Cutshall and Arielle Vandenberg, Going to Bed with Garcelle and more.
During her time as a producer at the network, one of Catania’s jobs was booking guests to appear on the podcasts as well as seeking to offer the network’s hosts to other podcasts. This process of swapping guests and cross promoting each other’s podcasts is one of the best marketing tools available to the podcasting world. As Catania navigated her role in booking and placing guests, she learned how valuable being a guest on a podcast and exploring ad trades with other podcasts could be.

Each day, I get to hear founder stories, entrepreneurial journeys and ideas that are not fully formed, and that is what drives me to do what I do. I don’t care whether you started a junk collection service or launched a clothing brand—equally exciting to me.
My passion is creating and sharing compelling stories for companies of all shapes and sizes.
I also love coffee and welcome any opportunity to grab a cup in-person or over video chat. Feel free to reach out.
