Dear Reader,
Thank you for subscribing to our newsletter and being supportive of what we are trying to accomplish here at the Black Podcasters Association. Our goal with this newsletter is to act as a resource of information for black podcast creatives and professionals, but also as a bridge to connect our community to the entire podcast industry.
We are not trying to replace the current podcast news options out there, but to supplement them with content curated for our audiences as well as those interested in collaborating/partnering, with other like minded podcasters.
We will accomplish our goals through the promotion of black-led podcasting events, relevant news that affects our podcast communities, and the podcast industry as a whole, and with insights from our various contributors and partners.
If you would like to share your news, advertise, become a sponsor/advertise, collaborator/contributor/partner, suggestions, requests with us, please email us at newsletter@blkpodnews.com. We would love to hear from you.
Sincerely,
Corey Gumbs
