Goalhanger’s Greenroom is a new monthly masterclass series from Goalhanger, hosted by Assistant Producer India Dunkley. Each session offers behind-the-scenes insights from the producers, editors, and commercial leads behind some of the world’s biggest podcasts. Sessions will be streamed live and free to watch, with a full programme rolling out over the coming months.

• First session takes place on 7th July @ 6pm BST: How to Produce a Politics Podcast, led by The Rest Is Politics Senior Producer Dom Johnson
• Sign up now and also be the first to hear when future session bookings open

Goalhanger’s Greenroom is designed to hold the door open for those who currently feel on the outside of what could be life-changing opportunities working in media. Those who feel like they don’t know the right people, didn’t go to the right school, don’t have the right qualifications, or just feel completely stuck.

Speaking on the announcement, India Dunkley — Host of Goalhanger’s Greenroom — said: “Podcasts are, by nature, open and inclusive — and working in the industry should reflect that. But the truth is, if you don’t live in the right place, know the right people, or feel confident breaking in, it’s easy to feel shut out. Goalhanger’s Greenroom is about changing that. I’m really proud to have created it — and I can’t wait to share it.”
