Whether you're an emerging podcaster or a seasoned pro, our mentorship program connects members for guidance, support, and community.
APPLICATIONS FOR SPRING 2026 SESSION ARE NOW CLOSED!
The TPA Mentorship Program is an initiative designed to accelerate learning and professional growth by connecting members with experienced peers. This program fosters connections across content creation and business development to open up new opportunities for collaboration and innovation among TPA members. The program is structured to be mentee-led and mentor-supported, with additional support from TPA staff.
The TPA Mentorship program has two seasons:
Spring: February - May
Fall: August - November
Our goal is to establish a structured yet supportive mentorship program within the podcasting community. By grouping mentees and mentors based on shared roles, interests, and goals, we aim to tailor the experience to address individuals’ specific needs.
