Now, BBC Studios is taking Small Town Scandal worldwide. His iHeartRadio pod Small Town Scandal was a huge hit in his home nation and he subsequently took a step rarely trodden by creatives of his ilk, reversioning his podcast for the small screen. Small Town Scandal follows Toby (Sainsbury), who in another meta twist is a disgraced journalist turned podcast host. New Zealand producer Georgina Conder devoured Small Town Scandal and immedaitely phoned her friend Carthew Neal, the Oscar-nominated exec behind Taika Waititi’s Jojo Rabbit, who got on board with a small screen adaptation. The team hosted special screenings of the show for the pod’s super fans and were also able to attract an audience coming to Small Town Scandal cold.
