Clubhouse has announced that it is funding the creation of 50 audio shows by creators on its platform. The shows range from an interview series with Taryn Southern to a pair of shows discussing the culture of hairstyles and a game show called “Serial Killer Speed Dating.”
“In March we announced the Creator First Program, a way to help more creators focus on doing what they do best. There’s so much work that goes into making a show successful – the creative brainstorming, the innovation or invention of a format, the social promotion and audience outreach – so we built this program to support new creators with tools and resources to help unlock their creativity on Clubhouse so that they can share it with the world,” Clubhouse said in a blog post.

The creators will each get a $5,000-per-month stipend for three months. They will also get gear and creative support, to help them create the series. Clubhouse says that the goal is to develop and pilot each show over the next three months. In the event that a show takes off, there’s a possibility Clubhouse will sign some of them to a longer-term deal.
Clubhouse says it won’t be taking any ownership of the content or audio shows that creators develop. “The goal is to ensure that the creators themselves enjoy complete control and ownership over their creative output,” it says.
Clubhouse had announced its Creator First program in March 2021 ahead of its first anniversary. Clubhouse isn’t still yet available for Android devices, however, its rating is still very high in tech circles with bigger social media companies creating their own imitation. In a recent funding round the company was valued at $1 billion.
