Open Doors at Multitude
Video Set: Now Open for Business!
As podcasting continues to evolve, so do we! That is why we're incredibly excited to announce our video podcasting set at the Multitude studio. Now you can bring the audio quality that listeners have come to expect from Multitude shows alongside 4K video, extensive lighting, and bright and fun set design. All this is here for you in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, accessible by subway, car, and ferry from all parts of New York City and the tri-state area.
Welcome, Jenna Stoeber and Big Game Hunger!
It's the MultiCrew Drive!
On October 1, 2017, Amanda registered the domain name “multitude.productions.” That was the first step of launching a business where podcasters could make a sustainable living on their own terms. Six years later, we’ve built something pretty special: a resilient, independent media business that gives audio creators the tools to thrive. And we’re not stopping anytime soon.

Credit Where Credit is Due
If you really love a podcast, chances are the person you most associate with the show is its host. Sharp-eared listeners may even notice producers, editors, or sound designers who actively work on several of their favorite podcasts. But what about the many other people behind the scenes during a podcast’s development and growth?
Tell Me About It!
Get ready for your new favorite Multitude show: Tell Me About It, a madcap game show about proving that the things you like are actually interesting and cool.
Multitude MERCH!
You asked, we listened: Multitude Merch is HERE! You can grab our logo sweatshirt and tee now (yes, right now!) using the link below. Sizes run from XS-5XL on both items. They are currently on preorder and will be shipped soon!
New Production Partner: Defector Media!
Multitude and Defector Media are stoked to announce a new production and advertising partnership for the weekly sports show The Distraction, hosted by Drew Magary and David Roth.
The Multitude Extension School is Open!
Looking to build your audio skills that are focused on the podcasting industry? Been podcasting for a few years and want to get your show over the hump? Why is my microphone making that sound? We’re here to help!
The Multitude Extension School for Folks Who Want to Podcast More and Better (MESFWTPMAB for short) is a collection of four-week seminars taught by the podcast experts at Multitude that provide skills and guidance to level up audio knowledge.
People may say that podcasting is easy, but no one describes how exactly to get one going, how to grow, and how to avoid the complicated pitfalls that might stall the project. Our targeted classes will give you specific knowledge for what feels like unanswerable questions.
You’ll learn from weekly instruction, hands-on homework, and lots of valuable feedback from your instructor and classmates in our MESFWTPMAB online classroom! And Eric was an English teacher, so he has a whole degree in PRAXIS and PEDAGOGY.
We’re starting out with three classes in our first round:
Sustainable Podcasting: Refining Structure and Workflow So Your Show Works With You by Eric Silver
Podcast Mixing and Mastering for Non-Engineers by Brandon Grugle
How to Make a Living as a Digital Creator by Amanda McLoughlin
Classes cost $145 for four weekly 90-minute live workshops (which will also be recorded in case you can’t make it), access to a Google Classroom forum, many worksheets and slides, and an extremely official digital certificate. We are also offering scholarships for all classes.

Industry Takeaways from the 2022 Multitude Listener Survey
Multitude’s annual summer survey is our favorite event of the year! It’s our chance to check in with our audience, get their feedback on what we’ve been doing, and decide what to try next. So many of our favorite projects—from our new community Discord to our newest member show to the Multicrew itself—were first floated as survey questions.
This year more than 1,000 people shared their podcast thoughts with us. Here are some takeaways!

Resource: Make Your Patreon Work for You
When folks get started on a new podcast, we get a lot of questions about, “when should we start looking towards networks?” The underlying idea under this question is usually, "How can someone sell ads for us to make money on the show?” But building a Patreon community will be a much easier, faster, and more rewarding way to get a financial return on a burgeoning show.
Resource: Caring for your Creative Team
An entire Presidential administration ago, I wrote an article on how to work with your friends. I was two years and two shows into my fun new side gig as a podcaster, and thought others might be able to learn from my mistakes turning fun ideas into actual projects with my friends.
Four years later, podcasting is my career. We still use the lessons in that article every day, but now they’ve been upgraded from habit to policy.
Here’s how we keep Multitude a fun, sustainable, and creative place to work.
