India’s  largest  and  first  homegrown podcast hosting, creation and distribution platform Hubhopper Studio is delighted to announce Power of Podcasts. A new project supporting    NGOs,    activists,    educators,    mental    health    experts,   content   creators   and entrepreneurs to share their vision with the world through podcasts. Developed in the run up to International Podcast Day on the 30th September the project is currently open to submissions for anyone who’d like to feature their podcasts.

Podcasts have one of the most engaged audiences of all content platforms. With over 57.6 M+ podcast listeners in India alone, they represent one of the best ways to get our message out there and spread positive change.

The Power of Podcasts hopes to harness the strength of podcasts to amplify positive and meaningful conversations. Organizations are invited to take part by encouraging their community or members to create new podcasts and Hubhopper will support them with tutorial videos  and  self-help  decks.  Once  10  members  from a community have submitted a podcast they will be on-boarded as Hubbhopper Co-Curators.

Hubhopper Co-Curator’s content will be highlighted across a range of promotional material as well individual members being invited to a virtual summit to celebrate their work and discuss

ways to further their messages. All the nominated podcasts will be highlighted on the Power of Podcasts playlist released on International Podcast Day

As India’s largest podcasting platform Hubhopper Studio has given a voice to thousands of creators across India including changemakers such as Women in Labour which asked why Indian women are dropping out of the workforce faster than ever; or What’s A Man? Which addressed important issues around gender inequality in India. Through the Power of Podcasts Hubhopper hopes to continue supporting and promoting meaningful and impactful content.

Alongside The Power of Podcast, Hubhopper are launching a series of events and activations to celebrate International Podcast Day including The Podcast Awards 2021,  an open competition to find the best podcastsers in India.

Talking about the initiative, Gautam Raj Anand, Founder & CEO, Hubhopper says “We are delighted  to  be  launching  this  initiative,  Podcasts  are  such  an  engaging  medium  and  it  is important for us to support the country using this medium for positive change. Alongside this we are continuing to support young podcasters thought partnerships with educational institutions such as UPES School of Modern Media, Dehradun.”
