“This is How We Mobilize” – My talk at WNYC Studio’s Werk It Podcast Festival

In October 2019, Podcastivist founder Lynn Casper presented a strategy session for those looking to use their podcasts to do greater good at WNYC Studio’s Werk It Festival for women podcasters.

As individual podcasters, we all have unique audiences who tune in each episode because they relate to us and our content. Often our shows and audiences get stuck in a vacuum, which can be great for building and engaging small communities, but how do we then create a framework that networks our individual efforts on a larger scale?

Attendees of the session came with issues they’re working on that need a signal boost.

This talk was the launch of building a coalition of womxn and non-binary podcast producers. Join the coalition.
