Who Are We?
In February of 2024, a group of local podcasters met to discuss how they could create a supportive environment for aspiring and existing podcasters and content creators to meet and build community. The outcome is IN Podcasting, a quarterly meetup for podcasters, bloggers, graphic designers, videographers, media professionals, and anyone else who creates content online. Our ambassadors were present at that meeting.
What Do We Do?
As support grows, we are exploring other opportunities to connect, entertain, and educate podcasters in the Hoosier state, but our vision starts with a quarterly meetup to connect everyone, regardless of their experience level or background. We welcome anyone from those curious about starting a podcast to current pro podcasters. You can see a video of a previous event here.
What can you expect when you show up?
When you walk in, you'll be greeted by someone there to give you a lay of the land, and you'll be given a name tag. We color code our nametags to help foster conversation.
We have no sponsors other than Patreon supporters and those providing direct services to make the event happen like a space provider or food sponsors, so don't worry, you won't be bombarded with the time-share version of a presentation trying to sell you something. Our speakers are selected from the community to help you.
- Green - "I'm an aspiring podcaster considering starting a show."
- Blue - "I am a newer podcaster."
- Yellow - "I am a veteran podcaster."
- Event Ambassadors are in red name tags.

What is an Ambassador?
Our ambassadors are present at every meetup to answer your questions as well as make introductions to others who can help you grow your show. Get to know our ambassadors, and feel free to say hi if you see them!
