How to build a website for your startup
This episode is about Duuya Baatar. Duuya runs the Nest Center for Journalism Innovation and Development, which helps people support media in Mongolia.
How do you even begin building out a website for your startup? Don't just tell people what you do — tell them what you do for them. And how do you get your website to do that? By thinking of it as an employee with a job description — and a set of goals to hit. Here's how Duuya and Nest did it.
How to build a podcast festival
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.
How to build a newsletter as a side hustle
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.
How to ask your community what they want from you
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.)
How to build a media product for your community

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