The Founders of History of Podcasting Dean (L) and Lance (R) 


This is where the History of Podcasting Project Ltd comes in. Set up as a non-profit company, our next phase is to recruit all kinds of people to make this project happen over the next two years. 

The History of Podcasting Project (aka HoPP) will not just be yet another single language project. Our multi-format publications will be inclusive of podcasting from all over the world. Using the income from publishing to develop podcasters' skills, we aim to advance podcasts and podcasters, in particular the new offerings from young podcasters, and international podcasters not currently known widely in expanding global markets.

To make this happen, our next stage is employing key workers. With our non-profit ethos, the History of Podcasting Project Ltd was set up for this purpose.

Here are just some of the skills we need:

Copy Writers, Researchers, Fact checkers, Website Developer, Graphic designer , Social media manager, Online podcast group developer, Media coordinator, Video / Audio editors, Language expert (min. 3 fluent languages), PR / Publicity expert, Sponsorship / Investment Professional, Accountant.

If you find anything here that interests you work-wise, please email us.

Thank you for reading! You can listen here to the full length audio version of the short video at the top of the page. To contact us, email is on our business card at the end.

Looking forward to hearing from you, seeing you, interviewing you, thanking you... 😀 

Dean & Lance
