the summary

Multitude is a podcast company made up of passionate people creating shows you can count on. Alongside the 10 member shows we produce from our studio in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, Multitude provides production services and ad sales for clients big and small, teaching them how to build and run shows that communities can gather around. Since 2017, our shows have tens of millions of downloads and hundreds of thousands of people who love them (and more than a few logo tattoos).

The collective

The podcast collective Multitude was created in 2017 by Amanda McLoughlin to grow and strengthen a group of independent podcasts. Though the name was new, there was already plenty of resource-sharing and cross-promotion among the group. As those shows grew, the hosts worked together to launch new shows and welcome new members to the collective.

Multitude’s shows share an enthusiastic, welcoming, grounded perspective on their subject matter. We are driven to share the things we love with the world, particularly with those who haven’t experienced them before. All Multitude shows emphasize compassion, learning, and community. We try to make the world better with every episode we publish.

We are an independent collective, meaning that we are not owned by a larger media company or platform. Our member shows are each owned by their hosts, and Multitude provides support by way of ad sales, marketing, event planning, and business management. We provide similar services for our clients and partners, helping them make a living as independent podcasters. Our membership program, the MultiCrew, allows our community to fund our new work and continued growth directly.

Our press kit can be found here, and merch for all of our shows can be found here.

Studio, PRODUCTION & CONSULTing

We are a fully equipped production company that also provides support in podcast development, post-production, monetization, ad sales, distribution, and marketing to clients ranging from solo indie producers to Fortune 500 companies. We offer flexible pricing to suit each client’s needs, including hourly rates, monthly retainers, project fees, and commission-based ad sales.

Our approach to podcasting is medium-specific, grounded in a deep understanding of podcasting and of each show’s individual genre. The clients we love to work with share our respect and enthusiasm for this medium’s artistic possibilities and community-building potential.

free Resources

Most of our hosts are self-taught podcasters who relied on other podcasters’ guides, blog posts, and interviews to learn how to create great shows. We know how valuable it can be to hear how others make a living in a space you aspire to work in! So it is our priority to help fellow podcasters launch and grow their own shows. We frequently publish new resources and templates, including recordings of the workshops we lead at conferences.

We also set aside staff time per month to provide free consulting for members of historically excluded groups in audio. Request a meeting here if that applies to you!

We firmly believe that a rising tide lifts all ships. If you’re just getting started in podcasting: welcome. It’s a great time to join.
