We started at zero, with only what we need… becoming world leaders in our field by virtue of dedication, innovation and constantly striving to keep ourselves free from the trappings and affectations that weigh down our competitors.
We place content creators at our heart, trimming away the bits that don’t matter – it’s easier and quicker without all the nonsense.
None of this has happened by accident.
Alexander J Newall, CEO
Who are we?
Rusty Quill is an industry leading independent production company and podcast network. It was founded in 2015 and works to originate, find, develop, fund, produce and distribute exceptional media content around the world.
We specialise in original audio fiction and operate the RQ Network, a podcast network created by podcasters for podcasters. This inclusive platform works to champion the best new and diverse voices in Podcasting featuring both RQ Originals and external creators.
It offers distribution, marketing and advertising opportunities for its members and provides a curated, multi-award-winning experience for a global community of millions featuring international sensations alongside cult-classics and breakout independent shows all under the RQ banner.
Rusty Quill consistently sets the standard in every aspect of its business and its brand has now become a stamp of quality that guarantees whatever you are about to experience is one of the greatest works of its type, created with integrity and crafted with the highest possible production value. Not only that, by supporting this work listeners also contribute to our ongoing charitable efforts which have raised more than £100,000 to date for multiple causes including Mind, Mermaids, ActionAid, CentrePoint, and the International Covid-19 Relief Fund.
Our values
We tell stories, and we enable those who share our values to tell their stories.
These stories form the basis for how we think about the world and how we live our lives. They preserve culture and connect us to universal truths about ourselves and our world. They help us to understand ourselves better and to empathise with others.
Stories are powerful.
Stories can change the world.
We take this responsibility seriously, so we hold our values at the core of everything we do, giving us a purpose and framework for everything we produce:
INDEPENDENCE
We make our own choices, free from external editorial or artistic control, doing things our own way.
INTEGRITY
Everything we’ve achieved has been done fairly and honestly. Our moral compass is our greatest strength.
INCLUSIVITY
We foster a culture that rewards hard work regardless of background, beliefs, physical ability, race, or gender.
QUALITY
We are the best at what we do because we don’t settle for less than exceptional.
We care what we put our name to.
COMMUNITY
We’re welcoming, inclusive and compassionate but we don’t shy away from making tough decisions to protect our team.
