Why Work With Me?

If you’re a seasoned podcaster, creator, podcasting business owner, or a podcasting company seeking a Fractional Director of Content and Creative, you need someone who not only understands the landscape but is a driving force within it.

I offer strategic insight honed over nearly two decades in the podcasting industry, combined with a proven ability to build and nurture communities, drive growth, and create impactful content.

I have successfully led content and creative initiatives at Libsyn, the industry’s leading podcast hosting platform, as their Director of Content and Community.

My work has helped shape the future of podcasting through innovative content strategies, creative development, and community engagement.

As the creator, producer, and co-host of the award winning podcast, The Feed: The Official Libsyn Podcast, I’ve built a resource that has amassed over 1.6 million downloads and remains a vital tool for podcasters looking to stay informed and inspired.

I specialize in helping companies and creators elevate their content, align with their unique voice, and develop a strategy that resonates with their target audience.

With a deep understanding of podcast growth, audience engagement, and the nuances of the digital media landscape, I can help you navigate the complexities of content creation and execution while ensuring your brand stands out.

About Me

Hellooooo!!! I’m Elsie Escobar, a podcasting advocate, mentor, and strategist who has been deeply involved in the podcasting space since 2006.

I began my journey as one of the first female indie podcasters, using audio to teach yoga. My podcast, Elsie’s Yoga Class, has been downloaded over 4 million times, proving the transformative power of voice and connection.

As a Salvadorean, indie podcaster, and woman in a predominantly male industry, I have always championed diversity, inclusion, and representation in podcasting.

I was the first Latina ever inducted into the Academy of Podcasters Hall of Fame and was honored to be recognized for my contributions to the podcasting industry. 🥹

I co-founded She Podcasts with Jessica Kupferman, which grew into the largest online community for women and non-binary podcasters on Facebook, with over 20,000 members.

Led by Jessica, we created She Podcasts Live, a conference that united this vibrant community in 2019, 2021, and 2024. I stepped down from my leadership role at She Podcasts in January 2024 but remain deeply committed to supporting diverse voices in podcasting.

My journey has been shaped by my roles as a stage and screen actor, yoga teacher, and online community builder. These experiences have informed my holistic approach to podcast growth and development, which I bring to my mentorship program, The E-League.

The E-League experience empowers independent podcasters to find their voices, build community, and create impactful content by embracing their unique strengths and values.

My Approach

I believe every podcaster and content creator has the power to carve their own path, and I’m here to help them do it with confidence and clarity.

My work extends beyond technical skills or marketing strategies—I help creators connect deeply with their audience, align with their mission, and produce content that truly resonates.

Through workshops, webinars, and live events, I’ve guided thousands of podcasters to grow their shows, build meaningful connections, and stay true to their unique voice.

I’ve also pioneered initiatives like Libsyn’s #ClaimPodParity and served as a spokesperson for Edison Research’s Latino Podcast Listening Report, all to amplify diverse voices and build a more inclusive podcasting community.
