How it works
We partner with locally owned businesses, prioritizing smaller cities with greater needs, through word-of-mouth referrals.
We focus on collaborating with creators from these communities to connect with LGBTQIA+ inclusive businesses, ensuring the spaces are truly safe.

Upon confirming a local business partner, we send a complete podcast studio toolkit donated by RODE to our Making Space locations at no cost.
This kit includes promotional signage, booking tools, social media materials, booking system setup, two microphones, broadcast arms, headphones, necessary cables, and an audio mixer.
The recording space debut features a launch party with local vendors for food, drinks, and music, highlighting a live podcast discussion on accessible recording spaces with Spotify, the business owner, and a local creator.
Additionally, a photoshoot and interview with the business owner offer promotional content for social media, Spotify, and the Making Space Hub.
