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:
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
A call to action inviting volunteers to define their role (host, co-host, producer) and start small, authentic conversations
