About The Google Podcasts Creator Program

The Google Podcasts creator program is a partnership between Google and PRX that trains, mentors, and provides resources to underrepresented voices in podcasting around the world.

In 2019, it welcomed early-stage producers from Brazil, Chile, Colombia, India, Kenya, Lebanon, Spain, and the United States. This year, 2020, the program will serve creators from around the globe who have produced at least five episodes of their podcast since January 2019, and who wants to advance their skills and take their productions to the next level.

It is free to participants, and the 12-week training will be entirely virtual and conducted by PRX alongside international industry experts and Google Podcasts creator program alumni.
