Voice of San Diego launching podcast covering startups

Voice of San Diego is starting a podcast later this month that will cover local startup and technology companies.

It will be called “I Made It in San Diego.”

The podcast will be done by Brittany Meiling, who covers startups and biotech companies for the San Diego Business Journal. She is working as a freelancer for the podcast.

The podcast is tentatively scheduled to launch on June 19, the first day of San Diego’s Startup Week event. Voice of San Diego plans on doing the podcast once a week for four weeks on, then two weeks off.

Meiling has been with the paper since July 2014. Last year, she pitched a new section of the business weekly dedicated entirely to startups and entrepreneurship. The new segment, launched June 2016 as “The Startup Page,” was designed to stand out from the rest of the publication.

She’s a Missouri State University graduate and worked at the Springfield Business Journal in Missouri.
