Podcast Brunch Club

Podcast Brunch Club (PBC) is a community organization that applies the book club model to podcast listening. It curates monthly themed "Listening Lists" of 3-5 podcast episodes (roughly 1-5 hours of audio) and coordinates discussion meetings where members talk about the episodes they have listened to.

The organization serves podcast enthusiasts who want to discuss audio content with others rather than listen in isolation. It operates through local, member-led chapters in more than 50 cities across five continents, as well as a Global Virtual Chapter that meets online via video conference for those without a nearby local group. New chapters can be started by volunteer members in cities not yet represented.

Beyond in-person and virtual meetings, Podcast Brunch Club distributes its listening lists via email newsletter and hosts discussion and commentary through a Facebook Group and other social channels. It also produces its own podcast, which extends chapter-style discussion to a wider audience. The organization is run as a community-driven project rather than a commercial media company, with content and chapter leadership contributed by its members.
