ABOUT
Merkel Media is a dynamic distribution company dedicated to producing and promoting captivating podcasts and films that push the boundaries of storytelling. Founded by Tony Merkel, the company was born from a deep passion for exploring the unexplained and a desire to connect audiences with compelling, thought-provoking content.
Tony's journey into media began with an unconventional path—working as a truck driver by day and developing a podcast by night. In 2017, he launched The Confessionals, a show delving into paranormal encounters, cryptids, and otherworldly experiences. The podcast quickly resonated with audiences and now reaches over 165,000 listeners each week.
Inspired by the success of The Confessionals and the growing demand for original storytelling, Tony founded Merkel Media to serve as a hub for bold, visionary creators. Today, Merkel Media stands at the intersection of curiosity and
creativity—curating high-quality productions and cultivating a community of listeners, viewers, and storytellers who are fascinated by the extraordinary.
