Rotary Podcast Network

What could this idea change?

Extends access to diverse local knowledge while reducing duplicated equipment and giving every participating show consistent rights and quality controls.

Could this work in our club?

• Participating Rotary clubs, community producers, regional listeners, partners and guests across multiple localities. Use when several clubs have credible episode concepts but cannot each sustain full podcast infrastructure.

Before you start

• A network charter defining ownership, editorial independence, approvals, complaints and exit arrangements.
• Written participation agreements covering costs, account access, content rights, data and brand use.
• Shared hosting, production, transcript, archive, security and backup workflows tested before launch.

At the end: Provide producers with quarterly quality and audience reports, renew participation decisions annually, and maintain a tested transfer and shutdown plan for every feed.
