The project was funded by the Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund (AEIF), which supports exchange alumni initiatives that promote shared values and innovative solutions to global challenges, and was executed by members of the Bulgarian US Ambassador's Youth Council (USYC).

Between November 5 and November 7, the creative team behind the podcast organized a conference, which aimed to teach young people about podcasts. The Podcast Conference gathered more than 30 high school students from 11 different cities around Bulgaria, who had little to no experience with podcasting but were interested in creating their own podcast productions. Throughout the three-day intensive programme they learned how to choose their podcasting idea and pick the right format; how to do proper marketing of their podcast production; they also learned how to fund their podcast and what technical skills they need, said Yuliev.

Among the guest speakers at the Podcast Conference was US Ambassador Herro Mustafa.
