Welcome to From the Margins to the Center, an original House of Pod production that unapologetically amplifies voices of marginalized folks.
In this first short-run season we highlight women of color podcasters here in our home state of Colorado. These incredible humans will share their best stories, biggest moments on the mic, and a glimpse into their experiences within the audio industry.
Becca and Jeanette laugh about an "amateur audio" moment and share an exciting educational opportunity for creators of color in Colorado.
Based on the popular From the Margins to the Center podcast incubators for women of color, this shorter workshop teaches the powerful fundamentals of audio storytelling -- focusing on story development, sound, and writing.
