On The Air Powered By Podcasters Live Community Space For BPA Members.
In the podcasting industry, there has been an ongoing debate about whether streaming via platforms like YouTube, etc. constitutes a podcast. We won’t be getting into that debate here.
However, we recognize that, regardless of opinions and personal beliefs, live streaming or recording via tools like zoom, streamyard, melon, or other platforms, is a part of what podcasters are going to do to engage their audiences.
That’s why this collaboration with Podcaster’s Live made complete sense. One of the main goals of the BPA is to help educate its members.
And what better way to help do this than with one of our very own members, Steve Worthy.
Steve is not only a BPA Founding Member but also the founder of the Podcasters Live community. He has been working tirelessly to help other podcasters leverage the power of live streaming as a tool for discoverability and engagement.
The Goal Of Podcasters Live
Podcasters Live!!! is your opportunity to be heard. Our goal is to provide a platform where podcasters can share their journeys, voice their opinions, and inspire others in the podcasting community.
Podcasting Live!!! features podcasters from all genres to provide you with collective answers from different masterminds. Everybody has their journey, and your journey may resonate with someone. The discussions are open and interactive where your opinion matters.
What Does This Mean For BPA Members?
Our collaboration with Podcasters Live means you will be able to access their catalog of content, interviews, reviews, and more via our On The Air powered by Podcasters Live space located within the BPA community.
You will be able to ask questions, share insights, and discuss your needs via our community.

A Podcaster’s #1 problem isn’t getting started…it’s discoverability. Our mission is to help Podcasters get found, build community, and increase engagement through live streaming. […]
