HUGE NEWS: Our own co-founder has been voted in as a governors board member of The Podcast Academy! Ti King has been added to a roster of leaders like the CEO of Wondery (Dr. Death, The Shrink Next Door, etc), the global head of content for Audible, the president of Tenderfoot (Up and Vanished, Monster: The DC Sniper, etc), and the Emmy award winning producer Nikki Boyer. This board of governors is representative of the top of the podcast industry and helps guide the future of podcasting while providing access to resources and recognizing the creators and shows that make this industry amazing. This is such an accomplishment for Ti, but also for our little nonprofit and all of the creators in Arkansas. Let's keep climbing upward and onward!
