Our fellowship program supports emerging audio storytellers, producers, and journalists who want to develop their craft and make meaningful work.

About the Program

The Fifty-Two 7 Fellowship is a six-month program designed to give aspiring audio creators the skills, mentorship, and hands-on experience they need to thrive. Fellows work alongside our team, contributing to episodes and developing their own projects in a supportive, collaborative environment.
