Who’s Behind This?
I’m Sasha Willis, the voice behind The Podcaster’s Digest and the co-founder of Atabey & Co., a podcast network and production company dedicated to amplifying women’s voices—especially those of Black and brown women. I also run the WOC Podcasters Community, a space built for connection, support, and growth among women of color podcasters. I’ve been in the podcasting game long enough to know what works, what doesn’t, and what’s just noise. Here, I cut through the noise so you don’t have to.
Stay in the Loop
Subscribing to The Podcaster’s Digest doesn’t just keep you in the loop—it helps build a stronger, more inclusive podcasting industry. Here’s what you get when you become a paid subscriber:
🎤 Community-Funded WOC Podcasters Scholarship
Your subscription helps fund an annual WOC Podcasters membership for someone who may not be able to afford it. Podcasting can be expensive, and access to resources, community, and mentorship can make all the difference. Every month, I’ll share updates on who we’re supporting and how this initiative is making an impact. Plus, I’ll be shouting out top contributors—because collective action deserves recognition!
💬 Monthly Ask Me Anything (AMA) or Office Hours
Ever wish you could get direct advice on podcast growth, media strategy, or content creation? Paid subscribers will have access to a monthly AMA via Substack Chat, where you can ask me anything about podcasting, media, or building a creative business. Whether you're stuck on strategy, need branding feedback, or just want to brainstorm, this space is for you!
💡 Exclusive Discounts + Giveaways
Paid subscribers will also get discount codes for Atabey & Co. services and WOC Podcasters memberships—because I want to make professional podcasting support more accessible to this community. And as a bonus, I’ll be doing quarterly giveaways of free strategy sessions or podcast audits for paid subscribers.
🤝 Private Discussion & Community Chat
We’re building something bigger than just a newsletter. Paid subscribers will get access to a private chat space where we can discuss podcasting, cultural analysis, and behind-the-scenes thoughts in real time. Think of it as an intimate space to connect, share ideas, and engage in deeper conversations beyond the posts.
📬 Support The Podcaster’s Digest for just $5/month or $50/year and help sustain a space that amplifies diverse voices in podcasting.
