A Slack Community for Indie Podcasters

Nobody
Podcasts
Alone.

Gather is the Slack where solo hosts recording in closets between school pickups find their people — at midnight, between episodes, and especially when the download numbers flatline.

The People at the Table

Real hosts.
Real closets.

These aren't success stories. They're survival stories — and they're still being written.

Two Tamales Deep

I was three episodes from deleting everything. Someone in Gather stayed up until 2am helping me fix my gain staging. I didn't even know what gain staging was.

Darnell & Priya

The Long Distance Dispatch

We co-host across a 10.5 hour time zone difference and have never been in the same room. Gather is the only place people don't look at us like we're crazy when we say that.

Backyard Naturalist

I started this as a hobby. Then Gather members kept showing up for every episode. Now I take it seriously — not because of the numbers, but because of them.

Raising & Recording

The community crowdfunded my first real microphone when my old one died. Strangers. People I'd only ever met in a Slack channel. I ugly-cried for an hour.
What happens at midnight

The group chat that
never sleeps.

Real threads. Unfiltered. This is what a 2am sponsorship announcement looks like in a community that actually shows up.
