Podcast Incubators and Bootcamps
Short list of podcasting bootcamps and incubators...and maybe a festival
In my initial search for a Podcast Incubator or Bootcamps, much like a Startup Incubator, there aren't that many. Potentially your local university or college will have courses like the one listed below from Berkeley. Some conferences even go through education and training. Here are some we've discovered along the way.
