Born in Bari in 1995, Michele D’Innella is a lawyer and award-winning podcast producer. He studied Law at the University of Bari and then specialized in International & Comparative Law with an LL.M. at the George Washington University. In 2019 he made his first appearance in the podcasting world with an indie project. However, the real debut as a professional podcaster came in March 2021, when D’Innella launched his first branded format named “Storie di Tenebra”, a true crime series about the most infamous serial killers of Italy. The success of such initiative, mainly due to his forensic background, brought D’Innella on top of the charts. On the stage of Italy’s Podcasting Festival, he publicly announced the release of his new docuseries “Inverno Nucleare - Cronache di Chernobyl”, which then won the first edition of the Italian Podcast Awards in April 2022, in the category "Rising Star". After joining in 2023 the Board of Directors at Brothers in Law Inc., a non-profit organization committed to diversifying the legal profession, D'Innella officially entered the international podcasting community with a handful of new formats in English.
