Our culture

craig-150

“If our culture resonates with you, you will find yourself warmly welcomed. We understand that this community might not be for you, and that’s okay too. Here I’ve tried to unpack some of our culture so you can figure out if this community really is your community.”


Craig Constantine

Motivation and tone

The people in this community are generous. We’re the kind of people who lean in to help, and who offer a hand to lift others up. We like to think a bit more before we hit reply. We show up here to be helpful, to be inspired, to share our passion, to share what we’ve learned, and we like to ask questions.

Who’s it for?

The purpose of this community is to enable each of us to share our passion for creating podcasts.

Are you interested in creating podcasts? Whether you’re casually thinking about it, have just begun, or are publishing your 100th episode, then we consider you a podcast creator.

What’s it for?

This community is a place where podcast creators can share and amplify their enthusiasm for the art of podcasting. You can show up as little or as much as you want. I understand that life gets busy, and we each have commitments and responsibilities in our lives. This community will be here whenever your podcasting passion bubbles up.

My personal commitment is to do what it takes to create the space and to be the first steward of this community. That includes taking care of the day-to-day chores, having a sound business plan, and planning for managing growth, (both growing successfully and restraining growth so we don’t lose what makes the community special.)

If you want something to learn, are seeking a conversation to engage in, are looking for camaraderie, have a question, need a nudge, or even a well-intentioned shove… You’ll find that here. Here you can engage when you want, contribute what you wish, and get what you need. Here you won’t find saccharine trivialities, fear-of-missing-out, click-bait, nor advertising. Here, you are not the product.

What’s appropriate here

Everything here should be at least tenuously related to podcasting.

Everything here should be suitable for children who might be looking over our members’ shoulders at any moment.

If you have questions about what can be posted, simply ask by posting in Help, or send a direct-message to our @moderators .

Self-promotion

Self-promotion here is okay. If you have something related to podcasting that you think others would enjoy, or appreciate, then yes, please do post it in Public.

As a benefit for our Supporting Members, they can also post in the dedicated spaces for Introductions and Workbench

@craigconstantine Thank you for being that first steward, Craig. I’m in the “just thinking about it stage,” and generally am a person who likes to check something out for a while and think about it and process it, so I probably won’t say much at this point. But looking at the topics and having gotten emails from the group that are posting, I do appreciate the knowledge and experience and sharing that is going on.

Just wanted to let you know. Thanks.
