Plug Tone Audio Collective
Podcaster Agreement

Plug Tone Audio Collective is a network of creative, passionate, forward-thinking people who believe in the transformative power of storytelling and service through the podcast medium. We encourage and empower folks to help them be the best version of their authentic selves, by setting them up for storytelling success and then getting the hell out of their way. We prioritize supporting creatives from historically marginalized groups.

As a podcaster, being part of the collective means:

  1. Being part of a collaborative space that encourages asking questions, offering guidance to others, and builds stoke for each others’ creative projects.

  2. Expanding your network and collaborating with other like-minded people.

  3. Having opportunities to work on brand projects. 

  4. Being held accountable for your actions as part of the group and for the steps you need to take to keep your project going with a high level of quality.

  5. Engaging with fellow collective members.

  6. Having more opportunities to join learning sessions.

  7. You will continue to 100% own your show and any advertising dollars you bring to your show.

By joining the Plug Tone Audio Collective, you agree to the following statements:

  1. I am invested in creating a continuously high-quality show.

  2. I will participate in the collective, including attending as many group meetings as possible and offering guidance and advice when I can.

  3. I will use the Plug Tone logo on my show artwork, as well as one of the sonic logos in my episodes.

Lastly, you agree to the following group rules:

  1. No hate speech or actions: There will be absolutely no tolerance for bullying or degrading comments of any kind about things like race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, gender, or identity. Everyone should feel safe in this environment and if you are not behaving in a way that makes everyone feel safe, you will be removed from the group immediately. 

  2. Privacy is important: This is a private group and therefore, whatever is shared in our group meetings and Slack channel (or any other place that we communicate with each other) should remain confidential unless otherwise stated by the person sharing the information.
