About us
Helpful and supportive regular online and in-person get-togethers for podcasters from everywhere!
We're a community of global podcasters who help each other make brilliant podcasts.
We all make podcasts as producers, editors or presenters.
Each Podcast Club meetup is a real-life podcaster FAQ asked and answered by the awesome MIC podcaster community who come from across the world.
(yep it says Manchester, that's where we're based - it won't let us put EVERYWHERE!)
Our monthly events are online, and we (aim to!) host quarterly in-person meetups too, what we like to call our 'socials'.
We also have a special podcaster guest most months to give their expert take on a chosen podcasty subject. To date, we've had talks from chart-topping and award-winning podcasters about shortform podcasting, rating and reviews and remote recording.
Our guests have included Arielle Nissenblatt, podcasting legend, Olly Mann, Brown Girls Do It Too podcast, Obsessed with Line of Duty podcast producers, BBC Sounds Commissioner Louise Kattenhorn, Dan Maudsley (BBC: Paradise), The VO Social podcast, Clare Freeman (ASFB Productions: Slimming World Podcast...), Kate Cocker (The Presenter Coach: Everyday Positivity), Alex Bennett (Lower Street Media, Art of Podcast), Guy Kilty (DipDap productions, BBC 5Live: The Price of Football), Sam Walker (BBC, Desert Diaries, Northern Power Women), Emma Goswell (Gaydio, Coming Out Stories), Mark Asquith (Captivate, Rebel Base Media), Amy Woods (Content x10), Ant McGinley (XS Manchester, On The Left Side).

"MIC's Podcast Club is my safe space, as a podcaster. I value the opportunity to meet up every month with people from across the podcasting spectrum of genres and degrees of experience, all willing to share their challenges and triumphs, great and small. We bring our problems and discover we are not alone, someone has been there before us and figured out one, if not more solutions."
Flloyd Kennedy, "Am I Old Yet?" and "Baked Off!"
MIC's Podcast Club is such a great asset to have in my back pocket. Such a generous, friendly, knowledgeable bunch of people who are never slow to share their knowledge and help a fellow podcaster out. Without MIC's I may not still be podcasting - I certainly wouldn't have entered an award and got a nomination. Podcasting can be a solitary endeavour, but with MIC's Podcast Club, you are never alone."
Lindsay, "Making Stitches"
