PARTNERSHIPS

We want to make podcasting accessible to all. As part of that mission, we build partnerships with local organizations interested in how podcasting and audio storytelling can elevate stories within their communities.

Our partnerships are wide-ranging: some involve the creation of joint programs and content, some work with us on outreach or host our workshops, and others provide resources and support to creators in our community.

If you are a community organization in Boston interested in partnering, email us at info@podcastgarage.org with a description of your mission and interest in audio.

BECOME AN INSTRUCTOR

The Podcast Garage exists to support independent voices in podcasting. Our doors are open to anyone who wants to learn. Every workshop we host and every instructor we hire represents our commitment to a strong, diverse community of audio storytellers.

Our Workshops

All of our workshops are interactive and focused on a specific skill or competency related to audio storytelling. We keep our class sizes small to encourage more group discussion and one-on-one interaction with the instructor.

Some of the trainings we offer regularly at the Podcast Garage include field recording, editing, writing for radio, interviewing, and marketing.

Full and partial scholarships are available for every workshop - anyone with financial need can apply. We believe in supporting podcasters that represent our local communities and encouraging new producers to build their skills.

“[This workshop] was among the most important learning experiences I have had at this stage in my audio storytelling journey. It was an incredible privilege to learn in the intimate, welcoming environment of the PRX Podcast Garage.
