Google launched the Google Podcasts app for Android in June 2019 to make it easier for more people to listen to podcasts.

Unfortunately, even with this development in the podcasting landscape, lack of representation remains a huge stumbling block to uptake. And as a result, many people from around the world still don’t listen to podcasts.

To take care of this, Google launched The Google Podcasts Creator Program run by PRX, a pioneer in podcast training and education.

The goal is to have as many unrepresented voices as possible get into Podcasting globally, by lowering the barriers to entry.

So, if you have an interest in learning how to produce podcasts , this is where you come in….

Google has put out an open call for podcast ideas from around the world for the second cohort of the accelerator.
