Pineapple Street Media is a podcast production company based in Brooklyn. Some of their shows include: Missing Richard Simmons, Heaven’s Gate, Stay Tuned with Preet Bharara, Never Before with Janet Mock, and more. Pineapple Street Media is offering a Fellowship for Under-Represented Voices in Podcasting. They call it the Pineapple Fellowship.

Because the podcasting industry too often creates barriers to aspiring producers of color and non-binary people, Pineapple Street Media is offering our first-ever Pineapple Fellowship. The fellowship is open to all who identify as part of an under-represented group in podcasting. Areas of under-representation may include – but are not limited to – race, ethnicity, economic background, sexual orientation, and disability.

The Pineapple Fellowship is a full-time, project-based, producer-in-residence position that is open to those looking to transition into an audio production career. You will work on a deeply produced and reported documentary series. Pineapple Street Media will consider any level of experience, but prefer to work with someone with some sort of audio editing background.

Things to know:

• The Pineapple Fellowship begins in the summer of 2018.
• Fellows receive a stipend of $3,000 per month. In addition to production experience, fellows have weekly mentorship meetings with Pineapple staff producers and editors. They will also help connect you with people in the industry.
• The application deadline is April 15, 2018.
