Our long-term vision is to have a Nieman-inspired model that allows everyone to take the workshop for free, plus pays you a fair living stipend during that time.

The Podcast Love Bootcamp is an groundbreaking opportunity for emerging podcasters to accelerate their

We’re in love with narrative podcasting. (Duh.) I’m greedy; I want a never-ending queue of surprising, impactful, and thoughtful podcasts. To get there, we need to invest in training emerging talent to develop their unique voice. Podcast Love’s mission is to identify, nurture, and empower emerging voices in narrative podcasting to help push the industry forward.

I’ve taught graduate-level narrative podcasting classes at NYU since 2016. I’m so proud to have seen talented students graduate and secure gigs at places like like NPR, Conde Nast, and WNYC. My classes routinely max out, and many students have told me that I’m one of the best teachers they’ve had ay any level.

A big part of that is the people I’ve worked with. I’m super lucky to have an incredible team of seasoned industry pros join me in the bootcamp, including: Maura Walz (our editorial coach) Ben Montoya (our sound coach) and Betty Ming Liu (our life coach). Combined, we’ve taught, coached, and edited hundreds of students and professionals.

A Nieman Fellowship is an extraordinary, transformative learning opportunity open to journalists working in all media in every country around the world. Those selected for the program spend two full semesters at Harvard auditing classes with some of the university’s greatest thinkers, participating in Nieman events and collaborating with peers. Nieman Fellows are also able to audit classes at other local universities including MIT and Tufts.

Each year, the Nieman Foundation awards paid fellowships to up to 24 journalists working in print, broadcast, digital and audiovisual media. Journalists and other professionals working in positions that support journalism, such as the business or technology departments of news companies, are welcome to apply for one of the foundation’s short-term Visiting Fellowships.

During their time at Harvard, Nieman Fellows attend seminars, shop talks, master classes and journalism conferences designed to strengthen their professional skills and leadership capabilities, thereby helping to fortify the news industry itself. With the knowledge they gain on campus and the relationships they build, fellows often return to work as journalism entrepreneurs, industry innovators and top managers in their newsrooms.
