Who Am I?

I’m someone who lives and breathes podcasts. 

I’m Niall Mackay, The Podcast Guy. Podcasts have been my passion since they first began. After the success of my first podcast, A Vietnam Podcast, I made a major career shift during the pandemic and I turned that passion into action.

Now, I leverage the experience gained from launching several shows to empower other creators, refine their shows, and reach their full potential.

It was only me at first. Now, a talented team of editors, creators, and web developers work alongside me to bring your podcast vision to life.

The Seven Million Bikes Podcasts Story

Before the Pandemic

I’ve been an avid podcast listener since the early 2000s and started podcasting as a hobby in 2019, A Vietnam Podcast which is now in the top 10% of podcasts worldwide. 

I am also a teacher, fundraiser and comedian. I started hosting and running my own comedy shows while working as a corporate social responsibility manager in Saigon, helping underprivileged children gain access to quality education. 

May 2019 was the proudest day of my life when we opened a new school in the Mekong Delta after raising $70,000 in the process to complete the project. 

Fundraising was already underway in 2020 for the next school when the pandemic hit. Lessons quickly went online and as Vietnam shut its borders to the world new teachers couldn’t come in and student numbers dwindled.

The Birth of Seven Million Bikes Podcasts

Initially, in 2019, Seven Million Bikes was an entertainment company, hosting A Vietnam Podcast, comedy shows, music gigs, quiz nights and a second podcast, Did That Really Happen

Unfortunately by the end of 2021, I was told that my contract would not be renewed as the company cut costs while struggling to stay afloat in the midst of the pandemic.

It was at this moment I decided to take Seven Million Bikes (as it was known then) full-time.  

But as the pandemic raged I faced setback after setback. Finally, I decided to focus on my main passion, podcasting, and rebranded to Seven Million Bikes Podcasts – stopping all comedy shows and events.

Since then Seven Million Bikes Podcasts has grown and grown. From editing only, Seven Million Bikes Podcasts now offers full package podcasting service with clients around the world.
