Ready to Learn Podcast Accelerator

Connecting young children, their families, and their communities to work and careers through intergenerational podcasts.

 

Ready to Learn in 2021 

The Ready To Learn initiative, from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and PBS, with support from the U.S. Department of Education, aims to develop new content that helps young children and their families build vital skills to help them succeed in school and life.

Ready to Learn in 2022

PRX is hosting a 16-week virtual podcast training for six production teams representing Ready To Learn “Learning Neighborhood” public media stations. The training will take a listener-centered approach to developing and strengthening show concepts, particularly geared toward career readiness and educational experiences for children and families. This program also offers coaching for teams around effective community engagement and growth.

Participants will leave the accelerator program with: 

  • Peer and industry feedback on their work

  • New production processes

  • Skills prioritizing iterative prototyping

  • The foundation to create compelling and educational audio and programming

  • A clearer path forward in their podcast development
