5 Weeks

·

Cohort-based Course

It's time to share your voice. Share your ideas, lead your community, earn trust.

Hosted by

Steve Heatherington, Alexandra DiPalma, and Seth Godin

We've taught thousands of students to become podcasters. The Workshop WORKS.

Course overview

By the end of this workshop, you can be a published podcaster

Podcasting is a proven technology. But it's still early, the market remains wide open. It’s an open mic, a chance for people with something to say to find a few people (or perhaps more than a few people) who’d like to hear them say it.

Who is this course for

01

This workshop is for anyone interested in creating their own podcast.

02

Our graduates include entrepreneurs, freelancers, artists, non-profit leaders, teachers, corporate linchpins, writers

03

There's a need for leadership, positive voices and for the power of connection right now in the world. We can speak up, stand up and lead.

What you’ll get out of this course

The Podcasting Workshop will provide you with the tools and resources to take the leap and create your own podcast

We’ll cover every step of the process from conceiving an original idea for a podcast series to publishing your finished episodes.


Share your voice

Podcasting is the generous act of showing up, earning trust and authority because you care enough to raise your hand and speak up.

Stop dreaming and start doing

Have you been talking for years about that podcast you want to start?


We've found an effective way for anyone (especially you) to get started in podcasting. We've helped more than three thousand people reach their goal and launch a podcast.

Build community

Independent podcasting can be lonely. The most valuable part of The Podcasting Workshop is the community itself. Share your journey with others who have the same goals you do. Many workshop alum are still in touch years after commencement.

What people are saying

        In all of my years of schooling, I did not experience such joy in learning as I did in The Podcasting Workshop. I was safe — no, encouraged — to be wrong. My colleagues brought out the best in me. I made something I’m proud of. I’m unstoppable and energized. Thank you.

        The Podcasting Workshop has simply changed my life. Alexandra DiPalma and Seth Godin are the most generous mentors anyone could hope for and the cohort is beyond supportive. I have always been skeptical of online education and have found it difficult to commit to. However, I not only committed to the process but found myself flourishing.

        I’ve been blogging weekly for 6 years. When I decided to do The Podcasting Workshop, I needed a roadmap and a supportive community. I’m an education cynic. The workshop is the best kind of professional education. It was perfect. It’s amazing that the roadmap works for total novices. If you’re considering the workshop: DO IT.

        I was curious about podcasting but had no idea where to start. The Podcasting Workshop took a raw beginner, gave her short daily lessons, surrounded her with great coaches, and let her be supported by a friendly and helpful community. I now have a podcast and my new workshop friends have podcasts. We did it!

        The Podcasting Workshop should be renamed to The Anti-procastination Workshop. Before I enrolled, I'd been planning to create my podcast for about two years. At the end of the workshop, just 35 days after, I launched a podcast that I'm proud of. The magic formula is the combination of the inspiring lessons, the incredible coaches, and Alex and Seth
