Moonpie Media is the creative home of Shannon McGarvey, a writer, journalist, and executive producer specializing in investigative podcasts and human-centered storytelling. She is widely recognized for her work on the acclaimed true crime series LISK: Long Island Serial Killer and Yuba County Five, earning a reputation for guiding complex, high-stakes narratives with care, precision, and emotional intelligence.

Shannon pairs creative leadership with operational rigor, drawing on extensive experience across podcasting, television, branded media, and print reporting. Her projects are rooted in thorough research, disciplined structure, and deep respect for the individuals whose lives shape the narrative. She is especially committed to elevating underrepresented perspectives and exploring stories that refuse simple conclusions.

Built on the belief that narrative work can spark meaningful change, Moonpie Media is a mission-driven, audio-first podcast production company. We collaborate with independent creators, cultural institutions, and global brands to develop investigative series, branded podcasts, and narrative nonfiction that illuminate complexity, amplify diverse voices, and advance cultural conversations.

Shannon lives and works in Austin, Texas. Outside the studio, she enjoys developing new creative projects, cultivating her pollinator garden, and spending time with her husband, two children, and three small dogs. She also serves as a Girl Scout troop leader, instilling confidence, curiosity, and stewardship among the next generation of strong female voices.
