Internet giant, Google has extended application deadline for the Podcasts creator program that aims to promote inclusive storytelling.
TheNewsGuru (TNG) reports Podcasting has quickly become one of the best ways to share and listen to stories, but its future depends on a diverse array of stories, voices and creators.
The application window officially opened globally in October through November 18th for the first round of the Google Podcasts creator program, which will kick off in January 2019.
Google announced the deadline extension to enable those, who want to bring new voices, perspectives and experiences into people’s lives, who are yet to apply for the program, to get a shot.
The Google Podcasts creator program is focused on three main pillars: empowering and training underrepresented voices through an accelerator program, educating a global community with free tools, and showcasing participants’ work as a model for others.
PRX, partnering with Google for the program, alongside a global advisory committee, will select teams to receive mentorship, seed funding, and an intensive 20-week training.
For podcast enthusiasts that want to learn more about what it takes to create a podcast, but are not yet ready to apply to the program, PRX will draw on learnings from the program to develop a series of broadly accessible podcasting 101 videos in multiple languages, as well.
Podcasts are a way to bring additional voices, perspectives and experiences into your day-to-day life.
The Google Podcasts creator program is designed to help support these voices, so that everyone can find a story that resonates with them.
Application deadline for the Google Podcasts creator program is now December 2nd.
