PodX chief revenue officer Matthew Sherry | 20th anniversary special

Welcome to the ‘How to be a Journalist’ podcast. In celebration of News Associates’ 20th Year anniversary, throughout 2026 we’re going to be interviewing people who have been there and done it. Whether it’s accomplished grads in our industry and even those who have taken the skills they’ve learnt on the course and taken other industries by storm. In 20 years, there have been many successes with NA grads finding themselves in a variety of positions from editors to MPs to athletes all using the skills they've learnt on an NA course to good use. Our special guest for our second #NA20 special is PodX chief revenue officer and #TeamNA grad Matthew Sherry. Hear insights about Matthew's pivot into the world of business founding both Platform Media and Gridiron Magazine, time working as a sports journalist for the Press Association. Matthew trained on News Associates fast-track course in 2009 when he was 18 years-old and cites the time as a period which gave him a vital grounding that then set him on the unique journey. From interviewing NFL hall of famers and launching The Good, The Bad & The Rugby with Mike Tindall, Alex Payne and James Haskell. Tune in for a fascinated listen.
