We help South African podcasts, podcasters, and podcasting, GROW.

Welcome to the South African Podcasters Guild

  • We're writers and makers, startup founders and CEOs, commentators and culture-shakers, question-askers and note takers, listeners first and talkers later. We're amateurs and pros, business-owners and hobbyists, in it for fun and in it to win it.

    And we all make podcasts.

  • We're building South Africa's biggest and most engaged podcaster community, helping our members to grow their shows, and professionalising the industry.

    We believe that podcasting can be a career for life.

  • If you’re a podcaster like us, we want to help you.

    As a member of our community, you'll get a huge array of tools, benefits, and discounts and, most importantly, you'll be able to share the resources, networking opportunities, and wisdom that each member brings.

    If you’re a business owner or a media planner, we’re here to professionalise the industry and set the standard for podcasting analytics and metrics. Get in touch to find out what we’re doing in this space.
