How to Launch and Sustain a Community Podcast That Strengthens Democracy
September 18 @ 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm EDT
This training will teach you to launch and sustain podcasts designed to build trust, counter disinformation, and strengthen democracy at the community level. We will cover:
*A call to action inviting volunteers to define their role (host, co-host, producer) and start small, authentic conversations
*Why local podcasting matters, especially in swing states and rural areas dominated by right-wing media
*How non-political storytelling and shared values can engage silent voters and bypass tribal polarization
*A step-by-step guide to planning, producing, and promoting a local podcast with minimal resources
*Real-world examples and a Quick Start Checklist to help volunteers take immediate action
