What is Podnooga...?

If you’ve heard me talk about Podnooga lately, you might be wondering: what exactly is it?

The short answer: Podnooga is a creative community built for podcasters, content creators, and the people who support them. But the real story runs a little deeper—and it’s closely tied to my own journey as a creator and the work I do at JW Creates.

How Podnooga Started

My relationship with Podnooga goes back a few years. At the time, I was just getting my podcast started, Judged by the Cover, and Podnooga was one of the first places I found support. It wasn’t just about swapping tips or gear recommendations—it was about meeting other people who were figuring it out just like me.

That community gave me the encouragement and momentum to keep going. And when the opportunity came along to help relaunch Podnooga, it felt like a full-circle moment.

Why It Matters

Podcasting can be a lonely pursuit sometimes. You’re recording in your office or garage, editing late at night, and wondering if anyone is even listening. Podnooga exists to change that.

Our mission is simple: to bring together podcasters and creators with the resources, connections, and encouragement they need to thrive. We believe the best way to unlock your creative potential is by doing it alongside people who get it.

Where JW Creates Fits In

As many of you know, my business, JW Creates, is built around helping musicians, podcasters, and entrepreneurs bring their ideas to life through cover art, branding, and websites.

That’s why supporting Podnooga feels so natural—it’s another way of helping creators succeed. Just like a strong piece of cover art can give a podcast credibility and help it stand out, a strong community can give creators the confidence and support they need to keep going.

So in a sense, JW Creates sponsors Podnooga not just financially, but philosophically. Both exist to give creators the tools they need—whether that’s design and branding, or people and community.

Looking Ahead

Right now, Podnooga is still young in its relaunch, and I’m excited to see where it can grow. My hope is simple: that it continues to be a place where Chattanooga’s creative voices can come together, collaborate, and thrive.

If you’re a podcaster, a content creator, or even just curious about this space, I’d love to invite you to be part of it. You can join our community here—and if you’re looking to take your show to the next level visually, you can always connect with me at JW Creates.

Because at the end of the day, Podnooga and JW Creates share the same heartbeat: helping creators unlock their full potential.
