Stephen Ellis | Becoming a Creator Podcast

A podcast from the creator education company Pipeline, offering tutorials, interviews, and feedback for aspiring streamers and video makers.

The brief

This is the official podcast from the creator education company, Pipeline, designed as a content hub for aspiring streamers and video producers, particularly in gaming. The show operates with a multi-format, multi-host structure. Episodes range from tactical tutorials on software like OBS, to interviews with full-time creators about their career journeys, and direct feedback sessions on video clips submitted by the community.

Unlike single-host interview shows, this podcast functions like a content marketing arm for its parent company, using various hosts and formats to deliver practical, workshop-style lessons. It focuses less on celebrity creator interviews and more on in-the-weeds tutorials and direct community content reviews.
