Goalhanger, a prominent British podcast producer, has appointed Tom Miceli to a newly created position overseeing intellectual property development and expansion into television and film sectors. The role positions Miceli to identify opportunities across Goalhanger’s existing podcast catalog and development pipeline, translating audio content into television and film projects for domestic and international audiences.
Miceli brings more than a decade of experience from WME, where he worked in the agency’s television division representing producers, directors, and talent. Most recently at WME, he oversaw the company’s partnership with Goalhanger on its Netflix adaptation of “The Rest is Football,” which launched in conjunction with World Cup coverage and is set to continue through the upcoming Premier League season. In his new role at Goalhanger, Miceli will report directly to the company’s founders and coordinate with editorial teams, talent, and management to develop a slate of projects, establish relationships with broadcasters and production partners, and negotiate licensing and co-production arrangements.
Goalhanger, known for shows including “The Rest is Football,” has experienced significant recent growth and was recognized as Britain’s fastest-growing private company in The Sunday Times 100 rankings. The company is preparing to host its inaugural three-day festival, Goalhanger: The Rest Is Fest, in September, bringing together its major shows and audience communities. The appointment of Miceli reflects the company’s strategic push to extend its established audio properties into visual media formats across multiple markets.
