January 24 – Podcast Movement Weekly – Dan Carlin is Coming

Posted on by square205

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.

SUPER EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT IS GOING ON NOW

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.”

Jacobs Media Announces Partnership With Podcast Movement

A Full Day of Radio-Centric Podcast Sessions at Iconic Conference

Bingham Farms, MI — If podcasting has moved into the mainstream during the past few years, 2017 could be the year when it becomes a major opportunity for radio broadcasters.

To that end, Jacobs Media and Podcast Movement have joined forces to custom design a radio track at Podcast Movement 2017 this August in Anaheim, California. These sessions will focus on how radio companies, stations, and personalities can succeed in this emerging space.

“Broadcasters Meet Podcasters” is designed to combine the energy and electricity of the podcasting space with the expertise, talent, and reach of the broadcasting world.

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.”

Podcasting represents a significant growth opportunity for the radio industry. Edison/Triton’s Infinite Dial 2016 study estimates that 98 million Americans have listened to a podcast. And Nieman Labs reports that podcast advertising grew at a rate of 48% in the past year, and is projected to show solid increases through 2020.

Co-organizer of Podcast Movement Dan Franks says, “Our team has been asked for years by broadcast professionals, ‘How can we get involved in podcasting? What steps should we take?’ We’re excited to finally have answers, as we partner with Jacobs to create this track – the first ever of its type!”

Jacobs Media’s Digital Dot Connector, Seth Resler, is a podcasting veteran who works with broadcasters to shape their podcast strategies. He will be an integral part of the Broadcasters Meet Podcasters track.

Resler comments, “More and more broadcasters are trying to figure out their podcasting strategies. Our sessions at Podcast Movement will provide solutions that anyone in radio can take back to their stations and implement.”
