There's an overwhelming supply of great audio content out there, which is wonderful for listeners. But it means that independent podcast producers—those who aren't affiliated with big networks or public media stations—must work harder to rise above the noise, reach their natural audiences, and find a sustainable way to make their shows.
In October of 2017, the makers of three Boston-based podcasts—The Lonely Palette, Ministry of Ideas, and Soonish—teamed up to create Hub & Spoke, a collective of high-quality, independent, idea-driven podcasts. Since then, we’ve brought many talented new producers into the collective.
We believe that art, science, arguments, ideas, and sound have the power to change the world. Today there are 11 shows in the collective. Our mission—spelled out in our Indie Audio Maker’s Manifesto—is to help our indie podcast members grow their own shows through creative, promotional, and financial support.
Learn more, follow all of our shows, and learn how you can support our work at hubspokeaudio.org.
