There is National IPA Day, National Waffle Fries Day, National Pancake Day, and National pretty-much-anything-you-want Day. In the summer of 2013, Steve Lee (founder of Modern Life Network) heard a radio announcement for National Senior Citizens’ Day. Thinking that was pretty cool, it begged the question of why wasn’t there a day of celebration for podcasting. That’s when Steve said to himself “Let’s create a Podcast Day!” So the adventure began and a collective team of podcasters put their heads together to establish methods for podcasters and podcast listeners to raise awareness for this great entertainment and education medium. After the overwhelming success of Podcast Day 2014 the event was rebranded to International Podcast Day to ensure the world is involved.
“September 30th will be a day to celebrate podcast producers and a day to celebrate podcast consumers around the world,” said Steve Lee. “It’s a day where we can educate the world about the wonders of podcasting.”
As more and more mainstream broadcasters and celebrities start releasing podcasts, the market is booming and the download numbers don’t lie. The entertainment system in the car you will be driving in as early as two years will be able to stream podcasts. Airlines have already stocked their “inflight entertainment” options with various podcasts flyers can listen to at 34,000 feet.
It’s like being in the early days of TV and Radio, but also it has provided an avenue to create audio and video information, education and entertainment, which can’t be found through traditional media. It is thought that as podcasting becomes a more integral aspect of entertainment, education and self-expression, the public needs to be familiar with the term and know what they are. This is where International Podcast Day comes in.
InternationalPodcastDay.com has been set up, not only as a resource but also as a site where current podcasters, listeners or anyone curious about podcasting can go and learn about the industry, get the word out about this broadcast medium. Remember that podcasting is meant to be both educational and fun.
Lee and his team want everyone to go out and spread the word; International Podcast Day is September 30.
