WTF is Pod Chums? The Power of Community
Introducing Pod Chums: A Community for Indie Podcasters
Pod Chums is more than a community; it's a celebration of independent podcasting, fueled by a love for the craft and the friendships it nurtures. Founded by Jamie Fenderson and Milo Denison, Pod Chums grew from their shared passion for podcasting and the deep friendship they developed through it. As enthusiastic members of the retro-nostalgia community, Jamie and Milo recognized the importance of collaboration and wanted to create a supportive space for other indie podcasters.
Pod Chums quickly became a tight-knit group, especially after Amy Lewis of The Pop Culture Retrospective Podcast and Katie Geilenkirchen of Retromade joined as founding members. With their combined enthusiasm, this team built a community that welcomes podcasters of all levels, offering the tools, guidance, and encouragement to help each other grow.
