This episode features Bhrikuti Rai. Bhrikuti is one of two co-founders of Boju Bajai, a Nepali podcast about politics, media, and feminism in South Asia.

Going into the School of Splice, Bhrikuti had a goal of wanting to connect podcasters across Nepal to help improve the local podcast industry, and to tap into an important growing community. So they decided to build All Ears, an online podcast festival. Here's how they did it.

In this one, we're focusing on Zurairi A. R., the news editor at Malay Mail, Malaysia's oldest newspaper. Zurairi wanted to figure out how to explain what was going on in parliament to Malaysians, and decided to fill that gap with a newsletter. He teamed up with his coach, Pankaj Mishra, to work through building it out.

Also starring Dan Oshinsky of Not a Newsletter and Sarah Ebner of the Financial Times.

This episode is about Nabilah Said, who was editor of ArtsEquator in Singapore. She wanted to find out what her community wanted from their media organisation so they could serve them better.

Nabilah's coach Jane Mahoney had some great advice around thinking about what products to build next. Most importantly, does it meet an audience need? (Hint: what your audience needs from you is very rarely content.)

In this episode, we hear from Jason Hendriks, who's trying to grow the Meld Community into a thriving non-profit media around international students in Melbourne.

Jason and his coach Jane Mahoney discuss how to take a community-first approach to product development.
