Become an Affiliate

Does your nonprofit organization regularly speak out on social justice issues or share information about disaster response? If so, it can become an affiliate of Podcast Village — a new Website specifically designed to share varying opinions on current social justice issues.

By using Podcast Village to share audio messages, nonprofit organizations gain a cutting-edge — yet user-friendly and low cost way to speak about their work and share it with a huge audience that includes reporters, colleagues, donors and many others.

Here's your chance to be a part of this growing community. As an affiliate of Podcast Village, your podcasts will be promoted for you. Statistics prove that Podcast Village affiliates have increased their target audience, pulling in other interested listeners and generating new traffic to their own Web sites.

Podcasting provides an inexpensive and simple way to create audio clips that can be used on radio stations, listened to by congregations or participants in meetings, and heard by audiences around the world at their convenience. Through podcasts, audiences no longer have to wait for what they want to hear - instead they choose what they hear and exactly when they hear it.

For example, when a major event occurs a Podcast featuring a nonprofit leader's description of a current issue, perhaps including an audio statement from someone on-location, if appropriate, can be posted to Podcast Village within minutes of a related court decision or disaster. Pastors or local religious community members could download the audio statement to a portable MP3 player and play it through the congregation's own audio system. In addition, other audio worship aids or curriculum resources could also be delivered using the same methods.

Podcast Village offers participating groups visibility through an RSS Feeder — a software program that lets people subscribe to feeds offered by Web sites. Subscribers receive a link to an audio (mp3) file, which they can listen to on their computer, or download to a portable player. RSS — or Really Simple Syndication — feeds provide an easy way to keep updated on Web sites. Rather than going from Web site to Web site, content is aggregated in one place.

The producers of Podcast Village will gather, organize and present podcasts from nonprofit organizations in a way that will provide unprecedented visibility for your group. For a small annual fee, affiliates will gain these benefits:

  • A simple to use interface to post podcasts, automatically creating a "show notes" page to list links and other information about that Podcast, an RSS Feed specific to your Podcast and a site-wide RSS feed
  • A searchable database of podcast topics
  • Automatically announced new addition
  • A basic explanation of podcasting and RSS
  • Built-in mailing list support
  • Needed bandwidth, backup and technical support
