Managing Director & Founder
Adam Spencer is a podcast producer and the founder and host of the show, Welcome to Day One, the podcast for regional startups & the organisations that support them. Adam covers the stories from the Hunter-Central Coast region and is also the founder of W2D1 Media.
Adam has been producing podcasts and telling stories since 2012 when he first discovered podcasting. He has produced podcasts for the University of Newcastle as well as many other organisations.
He has also produced a number of independent podcasts including a series called the Morning ROAR. It was published back in 2015 and received over 30,000 downloads in the first 3 months.
If you’re thinking about starting a podcast for your business, Adam would be very excited to help and guide you through the process.
The work Adam and his W2D1 team have produced has been top quality with quick turnaround times. In building our podcast, we had confidence knowing we had Adam’s support not far away at every step. Much appreciated, would highly recommend anybody seeking to launch a professional podcast to reach out to Adam.

Adam not only is an authentic storyteller in all its aspects from voice and tone and manner but also brings the calm and integrity of being a well-prepared listener.
Adam and his team did a fabulous job at producing and marketing our first podcast series. I had no idea how much was involved and he made it very easy for us. I felt I could trust him to get the job done efficiently.
Who we are
We are W2D1 and we believe in the absolute power of storytelling to educate, entertain and influence people’s behaviour.
But more so, we believe that humans connecting on a deeper level with other humans is just good for the planet and everybody on it. We tell our stories with one secret ingredient that isn’t really a secret, we let our unquenchable, unbridled curiosity guide our storytelling or we find the people who are insanely curious about the stories we want to tell.
