Making Space
Connecting communities to free podcast studios in inclusive settings
Making Space is our love letter to new and diverse podcast voices. Through this program, we aim to invest in the future of audio creation by providing historically marginalized groups a safe, accessible place to have their voices heard. These places will be local minority-owned businesses that house podcasting equipment for their communities to use.
As Spotify’s free podcast creation tool, we aim to democratize audio by lowering the barrier of entry and making it easy for anyone to make a podcast without the experience or resources that are typically associated with it.
Making Space is available at select participating locations. These locations are chosen and vetted at the discretion of the Making Space team.
Our current locations include:
Savereign in Greenville, SC
Curia on the Drag in Gainesville, FL
Making Space is a program hosted and supported by Anchor, Spotify’s podcasting platform.
Anyone who respects the business and recording rules of their Making Space location is welcome to participate!
Recording sessions can be booked at participating Making Space locations. We kindly ask that you schedule one session at a time, and book your next slot after your current one is complete.
Offering depends on the location. Generally, we offer two (2) podcasting microphones, two (2) broadcast arms, two (2) sets of headphones, and a Rode Rodecaster Pro.
We do not accept applications for the Making Space program, however you can make a request for a new Making Space location here.
Making Space is an ongoing program, and will last as long as there’s community interest to use this wonderful free resource!
