PRX Podcast Garage at KQED
A collaboration of KQED and PRX, the Podcast Garage is a community-building initiative for audio storytellers, journalists, and producers of all experience levels. When KQED’s renovated headquarters reopened to the public in 2021, the Podcast Garage supported the activation of the building with educational programming and networking opportunities for the public and community partners interested in producing and developing audio to tell their own stories. Since then, KQED has become a hub for audio creators and innovators in the Bay Area to gather and engage with collaborators and local audiences. Check out the recordings from our past workshops, independent podcasters that we’ve featured as part of the Podcast Community Spotlight, as well as links and resources for audio makers.
Podcast Community Spotlight
We featured the work of selected independent podcasters by sharing 30-second audio promos for their podcasts on KQED-FM, KQED Podcasts, and KQED and the PRX Podcast Garage newsletters and social media. Take a listen!
