Who can be listed in the POD Library?
The only criterion to be listed in the POD Access library is individuals or teams producing a podcast must predominantly self-describe as d/Deaf or disabled. This is not in any way indicative of the content.
How do I get my show listed in the library?
Fill out this form, and the information you enter will be added to the library.
Do I have to have transcripts or other accessibility to be included in the library?
You don’t have to have all your accessibility in place to be listed. If you add more accessibility in the future, contact us, and we’ll update your listing.
What is the promo share?
If you have a podcast, and you want other podcasters to share a promo for your show on theirs, this is where we make it happen. Check the box for promo share when you fill out your form to join the library!
How do I use the Skill Share?
The Skill Share is a database of self-identifying d/Deaf and disabled creators. if you’re seeking help in a podcast related function like graphic design, audio editing or transcription services, select the appropriate filters and review the results.
POD Access does not endorse or review any of the creators. We strongly encourage that you contact individuals directly and apply the same level of review and due diligence before entering into any agreements or contracts.
To be listed in the database please complete this form.
Do you give funding to podcasters?
At this time, POD Access does not fund projects or podcasters. But it’s in our future plans. Sign up for our newsletter or follow us on Instagram to stay updated. Our Reference Desk has info on places to get funding, and we will add to that anytime we learn of more opportunities.
Do you teach podcasting classes?
We do not offer classes yet, but you we’ll start hosting Office Hours where you can bring your questions.
Does my podcast have to be about deafness, disability, or accessibility to be listed?
Nope! We want to list your show. We rock with you ’cause you’re d/Deaf or disabled!
