On this episode of The Mess Hall Podcast we’d like to tell you about what’s new with our friends at STORYHIVE!

Are you one of those “I really want to start a podcast” people? Well, we’ve got a huge opportunity to share with you. Our friends at STORYHIVE are giving away 10 grants of $10,000 each to aspiring podcasters in BC and Alberta.

Since 2013, TELUS STORYHIVE has funded and supported emerging creators with mentorship and guidance from the National Screen Institute,  bringing hundreds of creative Western Canadian projects to life. 

This time, they’re taking to the airwaves with their inaugural Podcast Edition, dropping on November 4th! They’re looking for original, non-fiction podcast concept pitches from BC and Alberta residents. 

Apply before December 2nd at www.storyhive.com and you could get $10,000 to get your podcast off the ground.
