Google and PRX media company launch Podcasts Creator Program
Google has made it very clear that they are big supporters of the podcasting industry. As a follow up to the release of the Google Podcasts app, they have launched the new Google Podcasts Creator Program. This partnership with PRX media company aims to remove access barriers to podcasting and to increase the diversity of the podcast industry.
The idea behind this partnership is to empower and train underrepresented people so they too, can be successful in podcasting. Participants accepted to the program will receive free educational tools, funding, mentorship, and training, as well as having their work showcased.
Google Podcasts Product Manager Zack Reneau-Wedeen said in a press release. “As we work to bring hundreds of millions more listeners into the fold, we want to play a role in ensuring content is available for all types of global audiences.” PRX CEO Kerri Hoffman adds “We hope to elevate more diverse voices and empower others with tools to create and share.”
Podcasting is a constantly booming industry. Its ability to connect people from all walks of life around the world is a beautiful and hopeful projection for the future of communication, education, and inspiration.
The application period is now closed, and the program launches this coming January.
