Dubai Press Club launches second Arab Podcast Programme to empower regional creators
The Dubai Press Club has launched the second edition of the Arab Podcast Programme, a five-week initiative aimed at advancing podcasting skills and digital storytelling across the Arab world.
Building on the success of its inaugural edition, the programme is designed to equip emerging and established creators with practical expertise in audio content creation. Through hands-on training, participants will learn every stage of podcast production — from concept development to monetisation — with guidance from leading Arab podcasters.
Her Excellency Mona Al Marri, Vice Chairperson and Managing Director of the Dubai Media Council and President of the Dubai Press Club, said the programme aligns with the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and the directives of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum to invest in Arab media talent and strengthen Arabic digital content.
Al Marri noted the growing demand for original Arabic content and the need to shift from content consumption to content creation. She added that the programme supports Dubai's long-standing role in driving regional media innovation and empowering Arab youth with tools for the digital age.
Set to begin on 7 July, the programme will feature updated modules, focused training tracks, and mentorship from industry experts. According to Maryam Al Mulla, Acting Director of DPC, the initiative reflects a deep understanding of the Arab podcasting landscape and aims to help creators build sustainable, impactful projects.
The programme will conclude with a dedicated session for graduates of the first edition to showcase their progress and share insights. Registration details are available on the Dubai Press Club website.
