There are a lot of reasons some podcasters keep their show a solo project: Time constraints, introverted-extrovert personality or you just don’t play well with others! Some of us “podcast” because we love the solitude and the power of controlling all of the variables that go toward our success. The outcome is directly related to your individual hard work.

Some of us work better in teams or in a collaborative setting.  While you may have a cohost or a team around you, its always nice to have ways to expand your community. Finding a great podcast-centric group can give you spark or push you to work harder and smarter. There are several podcasting communities that you can join to connect with other podcasters, learn new skills, and share your own experiences. Here are a few popular podcasting communities you may want to consider:

Podcast Movement: Podcast Movement is an annual conference for podcasters that offers workshops, panel discussions, and networking events. They also have a thriving online community where podcasters can connect and share resources.

She Podcasts: She Podcasts is a community for women podcasters that offers resources, training, and networking opportunities. They also have a Facebook group where members can connect and ask for advice.

Podcaster’s Support Group: This Facebook group is a place where podcasters can share their work, ask for feedback, and connect with other podcasters. It’s a great place to get started if you’re new to podcasting.

Podcasters’ Society: This is a paid community that offers training, resources, and networking opportunities for podcasters. Members can access exclusive content and connect with other podcasters in a private forum.

Podcasting Community: This is a free community on Reddit where podcasters can share their work, ask for feedback, and connect with other podcasters. It’s a great place to get started if you’re looking for a supportive community of podcasters.

These are just a few examples of podcasting communities that you can join. Depending on your interests and niche, there may be other communities that are more relevant to you. You can also look for local podcasting groups or events in your area.
