Podcasting Fellows

Podcasting Fellowship

America’s Future is excited to launch its newest professional development program – the Podcasting Fellowship!

The Podcasting Fellowship equips liberty-minded young professionals with the skills to create compelling audio content. Fellows learn interview techniques, storytelling fundamentals, and podcast production basics while building the confidence to launch podcasts that advance the ideas of free markets, limited government, and personal responsibility.

As a podcasting fellow, you will develop the skills needed to create engaging audio content that advances the ideas of free markets, limited government, and personal responsibility. This fellowship is designed for liberty-minded young professionals who host a podcast or plan to launch one, including those working at aligned organizations seeking to expand their reach through audio storytelling.

Over the course of six weeks, participants will develop: 

  • Interview techniques that build rapport quickly and draw out compelling stories
  • Storytelling skills that take listeners on a clear and engaging narrative journey
  • A working knowledge of podcast formats, production workflows, and audio basics
  • The confidence to launch or strengthen a podcast aligned with the freedom movement

This virtual fellowship is held via Zoom on Wednesday evenings from 6:30–8:00 pm ET and is designed for liberty-minded young professionals who currently host a podcast or plan to start one, including those working at aligned organizations seeking to expand their reach through audio storytelling. Fellows should plan to attend all sessions.

Select applicants may be invited to participate in a brief interview as part of the application review process. If chosen, you will receive an email with the next steps.
