For a bit of inspiration about one of Murthy’s projects, check out this article which describes a past Soundup Bootcamp, a podcasting week of “daily sessions for 10 women of color who had been selected from over 18,000 applicants. Murthy and her colleague Graham Griffith led conversations on topics ranging from identifying an audience to honing a breakthrough message. Over the course of the week, attendees also learned from experts in the field about the art of podcast creation, from initial ideation to editing, producing, and marketing.”
