About Zed Pod Hub
Zambian Podcasters Hub also known as Zed Pod Hub was born early June 2022 on a whim. A call out was placed on Twitter to start a podcasting community for Zambian Podcasters. The response was overwhelming. Where most came in only knowing 3 other Zambian podcasts, the hub is now 90+ members strong.
Zed Pod Hub mission is to facilitate upskilling Zambian podcasters, create networking and collaboration opportunities and give our members the morale to keep growing their podcasts.
Zed Pod Hub values quality, consistency and sustainability.
