About Doha Podcast Academy

Transforming Passion Into Powerful Podcasts

Since our founding in the vibrant city of Doha, Doha Podcast Academy has dedicated itself to nurturing the voices and visions of Qatar’s creators, entrepreneurs, and dreamers. Our Academy is built on a belief that authentic stories can shape culture, connect communities, and spark impactful dialogue across the region and the globe.

We began as a small community of passionate professionals who recognized the scarcity of quality resources for podcasting in Qatar. As demand for digital storytelling grew, our vision expanded: to empower others with the tools, expertise, and guidance necessary for success in the competitive world of audio content.

Over the years, Doha Podcast Academy has evolved into a hub for creative learning, blending international best practices with local insights and a deep understanding of Qatar’s media landscape. Our faculty brings a unique mix of journalist integrity, production artistry, and business acumen to each course and workshop.

We strive to make high-quality podcast education accessible through hands-on, interactive trainings held in state-of-the-art studios. Our practical, project-based curriculum ensures every learner can move from concept to published episode with confidence.

Integrity, inclusivity, and innovation are our core values. We’re passionate about fostering a supportive, collaborative environment where all voices are heard and celebrated—be it an aspiring podcast host, a business leader leveraging branded content, or a student eager to share ideas with the world.

Guided by our mission to be Qatar’s leading center for podcast education and audio storytelling, we are deeply committed to each learner’s growth. From the first brainstorm to your show’s global distribution, our team is beside you every step.

We invest in cutting-edge technology, employ proven teaching strategies, and stay ahead of global trends to give our students an edge. Our alumni have launched top-performing shows, landed major sponsorship deals, and become influential voices on platforms from Apple Podcasts to Anghami.

Beyond skills, our Academy instills in graduates the confidence to share unique perspectives, challenge stereotypes, and elevate their communities through sound.

Join us as we continue to elevate Qatar's podcast ecosystem, inspire tomorrow’s storytellers, and unlock the unbounded potential of your voice.
