PROJECT TEASER
Building courses to onboard new podcasters empowered with Web3 toolings.
SUMMARY
Project Description
The Podcast Hatchery is a project from BanklessDAO that incubates and accelerates podcasts from within and without the DAO by empowering them with the latest and greatest in web3 and traditional techniques.
Current Focus
- Focus is to build a working model during the bear market that is capable to scale up during the bull market.
- The next step is to finalize the content of the ‘Hatch’ cohort course
- Generating leads for customer podcast projects to take the first cohort course.
The Podcast Hatchery (PH) team consists of four members. Two content leads, one marketing lead, and a coordinator. The focus of the first half of S8 has been to build content. That work is well on the way and we’re now “testing” the content first internally and then with external support.
The second half of S8 will include a strategic discussion on mission, vision, and values. The project team has now been working together over two seasons and we will look back and consolidate before we move forward. That means to re-address all strategic decisions and personal desires from being in the project team.
The PH will build two courses; Beginner ‘Hatch’ course for those who want to start a podcast and the accelerator course for podcasts that have been around for a little while and want to professionalize.
The Beginner course includes everything you need to know from idea through production to distribution and launch.
The accelerator course helps podcasters to professionalize their content, production quality, and branding and to engage their community on a whole new level.
The PH team is currently in the process of reaching out to stakeholders with interest in podcast incubation within bDAO. The purpose of this work is to share the team’s vision, to increase reach, and use the feedback to tailor fit our first courses
PREVIOUS SEASONS
S8 is the season the PH project got back on track. Whereas the prior seasons included a full reorganization of the team and structure, S8 has focused on content production, standardization of team procedures, and strengthening the team’s coworking.
The S7 funding proposal was not submitted until March 23rd, well into S7. The PH team is in the process of building operational know-how and has reached out to bDAO members experienced in the running of projects. The S9 proposal is now submitted on time.

IMPLICATIONS
Financial Breakdown
(all numbers in $BANK)
Status S8 budget:
Roleholder spending is on track for our projected budget of 120k BANK for S8.
The project spent less on bounties than budgeted. We have spent 33k BANK (25k of which is processing), out of the 143k we budgeted. The project will be increasingly engaging bounty workers for A/B testing and quality assurance in the latter half of season 8 and beyond.
Status wallet:
The PH project has had a large number of BANKs in the wallet from earlier seasons. These funds minus the S8 budget have been returned to the Treasury.
CURRENT SEASONAL KPI
