Podcast Movement presents the
Live Podcast Stage at Wrestlecon 2017!

Did you know that one of the most popular podcasting genres was professional wrestling? If not, that’s okay, we won’t bodyslam you…but one of the thousands of wrestlers and tens of thousands of wrestling fans joining us in Orlando this spring might!

Podcast Movement is excited to be partnering with WrestleCon, the world’s largest wrestling fan convention. It takes place annually during WWE’s WrestleMania weekend, which will be in Orlando, FL this March 31 and April 1.

Podcast Movement is the official sponsor of the Entertainment Stage, which will be filled throughout the weekend with great content including daily live Art of Wrestling Podcast with PM alumni Colt Cabana, as well as a series of classic wrestling greats/podcasters including Ric Flair, Sting, Shawn Michaels, Jim Ross and more!

Happy Tuesday, podcasters!

It’s been a historical and polarizing week in the US, however we think today’s announcement from the Podcast Movement team is something that everyone can get behind!

It was Common Sense to have this speaker headline
Podcast Movement 2017

One of the most popular and most downloaded podcasts of all time is a show that does not have a large catalogue of episodes. In fact, oftentimes months go by between new episodes, yet it always manages to stay at the top of the charts. Not many podcasts can get away with this, but then again, calling Hardcore History “just a podcast” would be doing a disservice to the works of art that each episode truly is.

We’ve attempted for three years to bring this podcaster to the PM stage with no success. However, now we are excited and honored to finally announce that Dan Carlin will be a headline speaker in Anaheim this August at Podcast Movement 2017!

Dan Carlin is an American political commentator and podcaster. Once a full-time radio host, Carlin eventually took his show to the Internet, and he now hosts two wildly popular independent podcasts: Hardcore History and Common Sense.

Part storyteller, part analyst, Carlin has mastered the art of looking at subjects from multiple angles and dissecting and thinking about them in original ways. He isn’t afraid to go deep or to inject historical context into modern debates. Whether it’s history or current events he’s discussing, his passion is contagious, his approach refreshing and his ideas tickle your brain in all the right places.

It is rare for Dan to take the stage at live events, and we’re honored to be welcoming Dan to the PM stage on Wednesday, August 23 in Anaheim.

Last year we were excited to host dozens of commercial radio hosts and executives, and let them see what the podcast movement was all about. This year, we’re excited to formally welcome them with a special full day of radio-centric podcast sessions at the Broadcasters Meet Podcasters track, presented in conjunction with Jacobs Media on Thursday, August 24.

Jacobs Media President Fred Jacobs explains, “We loved Podcast Movement in Chicago last year and were struck by the breadth and energy of the space. The goal is to get radio broadcasters involved, given the industry’s ability to create compelling audio content, promote it, and generate revenue around it. It just makes sense to bring these two worlds together to help broadcasters – and podcasters – elevate their game.”
