Shody Media

Shody Media is an independent media company based in Austin, Texas, dedicated to creating meaningful conversations, building authentic communities, and telling stories that deserve to be heard. Founded by sisters Shelly Silvey Grabe and Jody Silvey Wynn, Shody Media was created from a simple belief: everyone has a story. Not just celebrities, influencers, or public figures—but teachers, entrepreneurs, first responders, artists, nonprofit leaders, parents, students, business owners, neighbors, and everyday people whose experiences have the power to inspire, educate, and connect us all. At Shody Media, we believe that connection changes everything. Our flagship production, Adjacent Podcast, has become known for its welcoming atmosphere and authentic conversations where guests feel comfortable sharing both their victories and their vulnerabilities. Rather than chasing headlines, we focus on real people having real talks—creating a space where curiosity, kindness, laughter, and genuine connection take center stage. What began as a single podcast has grown into an expanding podcast network featuring a variety of voices, perspectives, and original programming. Today, Shody Media produces shows covering business, relationships, parenting, wellness, sports, books, current events, community stories, outdoor adventures, history, and entertainment. Every production is guided by the same mission: create content that leaves people feeling more informed, encouraged, and connected than when they pressed play. As an independent media company, Shody Media handles every aspect of production—from concept development and guest outreach to recording, editing, publishing, marketing, sponsorship development, distribution, and audience engagement. We partner with creators, nonprofits, small businesses, and organizations to amplify stories that matter while helping audiences discover remarkable people they may never have otherwise met. Community is at the heart of everything we do. Whether we're recording in the studio, hosting live events, collaborating with local businesses, supporting nonprofit organizations, or traveling throughout Texas to uncover hidden gems, our goal is always the same: build relationships that last beyond the episode. We proudly spotlight educators, healthcare professionals, entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, authors, veterans, community leaders, and everyday individuals whose stories deserve a larger audience. We also believe in giving back, regularly partnering with charitable organizations and using our platform to raise awareness for causes that strengthen communities. Shody Media embraces curiosity. We celebrate lifelong learning. We ask thoughtful questions. We explore difficult conversations with respect and humor. Most importantly, we strive to remind people that despite our differences, we have far more in common than we often realize. Our growing family of shows reflects that philosophy. Every podcast has its own personality while remaining connected by the same commitment to authenticity, optimism, and meaningful storytelling. As our network continues to expand, so does our vision of creating opportunities for independent creators to build sustainable podcasts under a collaborative media brand. Innovation continues to drive our work. Through podcasting, digital media, live experiences, video production, creator partnerships, Patreon communities, and future original programming, Shody Media is building more than a collection of podcasts—we're building a destination where conversations spark ideas, friendships begin, businesses grow, and communities thrive. Based in the heart of Central Texas and reaching listeners around the world, Shody Media is proud to remain independently owned while staying true to the values that inspired its creation: authenticity, curiosity, generosity, and connection. Because every conversation has the potential to change someone's day. Every introduction can become a friendship
