“Seeing organizations on every level come together to work towards a common goal is inspiring,” said Podcast Taxonomy Co-Founder and Podchaser COO Cole Raven. “I’m grateful for the industry’s enthusiasm and willingness to support the Podcast Taxonomy movement and couldn’t be happier with the members of our inaugural board!”

“Our board illustrates what we hope to see in the podcast industry of the future: diverse in thought, career status, and professional background, and inclusive of people from historically underrepresented communities,” added Podcast Taxonomy Co-Founder and Staff Me Up VP of Business Development and Strategic Alliances Daniel Rosenberg.
