Stockholm, 09.12.2024 – Perfect Day Media, one of the Nordic region’s largest and most successful podcast companies, will become a central part of the rapidly growing PodX Group, which is acquiring 100% of Perfect Day from its sister company, PopHouse Entertainment.
Patrick Svensk, VD PodX Group: ““We are proud and excited to welcome Perfect Day Media to PodX Group. Perfect Day Media holds a unique position in the Nordic podcast market and excels at attracting top talents and profiles, as well as successfully commercializing formats and content.

In its early years, PodX has made a series of acquisitions in the podcast industry, including Studio Minuit and Nouvelles Écoutes in France, Posta in Argentina, Filt and Suomen Podcastmedia in the Nordics, as well as Goldhawk Productions, Listen, and Platform Media in the UK. Perfect Day Media, with hits such as Alex & Sigge’s podcast, Ursäkta, When We Were Kings, Gynning & Berg, and Fredagspodden, underwent a leadership change at the turn of the year, when Karolina Sandberg and Tove Barkestad took over from founders Hannah Widell and Amanda Schulman. Since then, the new CEO duo has increased revenue and improved operating profit. Karolina Sandberg and Tove Barkestad will continue to share responsibility for Perfect Day Media following PodX Group’s acquisition.
Karolina Sandberg och Tove Barkestad, Perfect Day Media: “After an intense and rewarding spring, we are very happy with the continued trust from our new owners to lead the company forward.
