Truth matters. Community matters. Your support makes both possible. LAist is one of the few places where news remains independent and free from political and corporate influence. Stand up for truth and for LAist. Make your year-end tax-deductible gift now.

KPCC is looking for our next podcast — and we are accepting pitches from our listeners!

We’re looking for the next generation of talent to help us tell diverse stories that matter to California and beyond. Women, people of color and LGBTQIA people are especially encouraged to send in their ideas.

While you're thinking of your best idea, here are some things to consider:

  • What question does your show strive to answer or explore?
  • Why is now the right time to make your idea?
  • Why are you the right person to tell that story?

Our pitch form is now open. We will be keeping it up all year, but we'll only be actively searching for our next project until Wednesday, Feb. 28.

We'll do our best to get back to you within a month of the time you submit. But, fair warning, we may miss that deadline once in a while. (There are a lot more of you than there are of us!)

Good luck!

On February 1st we published an incomplete pitch form. After we were alerted the form was unfinished we removed it. The post now includes a link to the completed form. We will be looking at submissions from February 14th to February 28th. If you have any questions you can reach the department at podcasts@kpcc.org.

KPCC PODCAST PITCH FORM

You come to LAist because you want independent reporting and trustworthy local information. Our newsroom doesn’t answer to shareholders looking to turn a profit. Instead, we answer to you and our connected community. We are free to tell the full truth, to hold power to account without fear or favor, and to follow facts wherever they lead. Our only loyalty is to our audiences and our mission: to inform, engage, and strengthen our community.

Right now, LAist has lost $1.7M in annual funding due to Congress clawing back money already approved. The support we receive before year-end will determine how fully our newsroom can continue informing, serving, and strengthening Southern California.

If this story helped you today, please become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission. It just takes 1 minute to donate below.

Your tax-deductible donation keeps LAist independent and accessible to everyone.
