The purpose of this community is to support independent podcast creators.
Whether you’re casually thinking about it, have just begun, or are publishing your 100th episode, then we consider you a podcast creator.
The topic, Who's it for? unpacks this community’s purpose further.
Also, it’s a great idea to poke around in the ≡ menu at the top.

Categories
Everything on this web site is organized within “categories.” Each discussion begins with a first post which creates a new “topic”, and every topic is within some category. That topic then grows as people reply to the first post of the topic.
Introductions — Introduce yourself and your podcast show! See, About the Introductions category. Also, the only place for posting pitches.
Workbench — This Podcaster Community is an artists’ workshop, and the workbench is the big table in the middle of it all. See, About the Workbench.
Our Process — This is where we show our process. It’s a space for Supporting members to share what they’re working on, how they’re working, and what they’re figuring out.
Campfires — Supporting members are invited to our virtual Campfires. These are gatherings where you can share your ideas and passion for podcasting in a social setting. At a Campfire you can get reenergized, have a laugh, share a story, noodle a problem in a breakout room, or just bask in the glow of some camaraderie.
Podtalk — Podtalk episodes are short conversations with indie podcasters that are not just about podcasting, because I like to take the scenic route. Episodes are posted in this category, and you can also listen wherever you normally listen to podcasts.
Platform usage help
For help with this platform, we have a tag “site-help” with various tips and questions answered.
If you need help with podcasting, just post in Public.
But if you are a Supporting member, post in Workbench for more visibility.
