The podcasting community is one of the most active and inviting communities, both online and off — which is great news for you! As a new podcaster, there’s no shortage of places to go and resources to tap on your podcasting journey. But as much as we love going to conferences and meetups, we also know that some locations don't have a large base of podcast creators–and travel is expensive! Luckily for us, there are lots of online communities where podcasters can look for help, network, and create connections, especially in Facebook Groups. Below are some of our favorites!
