Our Favorite Facebook Groups for Podcast Creators
The podcasting community is one of the most active and inviting communities, both online and off — which is great news for you! As a new podcaster, there’s no shortage of places to go and resources to tap on your podcasting journey. But as much as we love going to conferences and meetups, we also know that some locations don't have a large base of podcast creators–and travel is expensive! Luckily for us, there are lots of online communities where podcasters can look for help, network, and create connections, especially in Facebook Groups. Below are some of our favorites!
- Simplecast Members Forum: Yes, okay, we're listing ourselves first. A Facebook group for Simplecast customers to meet their community and get to know the platform.
- New Podcast Creators Group: "A community geared towards new and beginning podcast creators! We want to be a resource for you, whether it's through tool recommendations, podcast feedback, or networking opportunities!"
- Podcasters Support Group: “A meeting place for podcasters old and new to keep in touch, swap tips, seek advice about technical stuff or interviews or general podcast-related business.”
- Black Podcasters United: “A place where black podcasters can network, share ideas, get feedback, or simply stay connected with one another.”
