Get started in podcasting for less than $300, or upgrade your space to a professional-grade space!

Multitude is wholeheartedly a community-first collective. I noticed this right away when I came aboard as the Community Manager. So, when I was asked to develop a Discord server for our growing flock of listeners, I knew authenticity, inclusion, and fun would be at the top of my priorities list.

When folks get started on a new podcast, we get a lot of questions about, “when should we start looking towards networks?” The underlying idea under this question is usually, "How can someone sell ads for us to make money on the show?” But building a Patreon community will be a much easier, faster, and more rewarding way to get a financial return on a burgeoning show.

An entire Presidential administration ago, I wrote an article on how to work with your friends. I was two years and two shows into my fun new side gig as a podcaster, and thought others might be able to learn from my mistakes turning fun ideas into actual projects with my friends.

Four years later, podcasting is my career. We still use the lessons in that article every day, but now they’ve been upgraded from habit to policy.

Here’s how we keep Multitude a fun, sustainable, and creative place to work.

People love podcasts because of their familiarity. The show comes out at the same time every week with the same hosts, making jokes or diving deep into the topics that you’d expect. It is variations on a theme, like Oreos coming out with a new flavor or Americans tuning in at 11:30 to watch a late night show. Although we can’t surprise-drop a chocolate-peanut-butter-pie podcast, we can use the structure of a late night show to make our podcasts work for us.

Everyone might SAY they have a podcast and everyone SAYS it's so easy. But how do you actually get the process going? And how can you avoid those pitfalls that might stall the project? Our new Podcast Starter Kit is your answer!

Multitude gave two workshops at Podcast Movement’s digital conference in October. Here are the descriptions and slides for each one!

Multitude created a free in-depth guide on how to make fiction podcasts! In celebration of our new audio sitcom, NEXT STOP, we’ve written a guide to help you get your fiction podcast off the ground and into the ears of your audience.
