Congratulations to Hailey Markus on Her VoyageMichigan Feature!

The entire Arete Media family would like to congratulate Hailey Markus, host of the Part of Your Broadway World Podcast, on being featured by VoyageMichigan Magazine in its Rising Stars series!

In the feature, Hailey shares the story behind Part of Your Broadway World—a podcast that began with a simple love of Broadway and Disney and has grown into a platform for conversations with performers, actors, writers, directors, voice actors, and other creatives from across the entertainment world. Along the way, the show has built its own community and earned three Artie Awards! Including Best Guest for Bill Farmer, the legendary voice of Disney's Goofy, and Podcast of the Year.

Hailey also speaks candidly about what goes into building a podcast: researching guests, preparing interviews, recording and editing episodes, creating promotional content, managing social media, and—perhaps most importantly—continuing to show up even during periods when growth feels slow.

That persistence is a big part of what makes this recognition so well deserved.

At Arete Media, we love seeing our creators grow their shows, find their audiences, and turn the things they’re passionate about into something that connects with other people. Hailey has done exactly that with Part of Your Broadway World, and we’re incredibly proud to have the show as part of the Arete Media Podcast Pantheon.

And she’s not slowing down. Hailey plans to continue expanding the range of guests featured on the podcast, grow the show’s presence at conventions and entertainment events, and continue improving both its creative and production side.

Congratulations, Hailey! This recognition is well earned, and we can’t wait to see where Part of Your Broadway World goes next.
