For more than a decade the art of Podcasting has increasingly become a household word. Podcasting is now frequently seen in just about every form of advertising, and the role of the podcaster has started to emerge in tv shows and movie plots. Podcasting is an impactful medium taking the world by storm and only continues to grow. One of the reasons podcasting has grown in popularity is that it has an easy entry point. With apps such as Anchor leveling the playing field anyone with a phone and the motivation to do so can start a podcast. In my own podcasting journey, I have found a strong sense of community among podcasters of all levels. Whether they have just published their first episode using their phone or they have been at it since the early days and are now operating out of a fully-fledged studio. One thing is apparent. No matter the experience level there is a tenacious support community surrounding the podcasting industry and that community grows even stronger with live conventions all over the world. The 9th Annual Podfest will take place at Renaissance Orlando from January 26th-29th 2023. This is an event for podcasters who are in the genesis of their podcasting journey, folks who may be at an intermediate level, and also for professional people who make their living in the podcast industry. No matter your experience level Podfest promises an unforgettable experience designed to help and inspire podcasters of all levels to learn, get inspired, and progress.
