Bill Monty Helps Us Celebrate International Podcast Day - September 30, 2025

Friend of the show, Bill Monty did a bang up job creating an episode celebrating International Podast Day - so we are resharing it here for you as well!

International Podcast Day – September 30 – is an international celebration of the power of podcasts!

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 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 bring the day to life.

In 2014, we held the inaugural National Podcast Day event and celebration here in the United States. We provided 6 hours of live streaming, which included call-ins from podcasters from around the country. The team held a Q&A session on Google Hangouts. We endorsed podcast meetups across the states by fellow world-renowned podcasters, including Dave Jackson and Ray Ortega.

In 2015, we listened to the podcast community and re-branded to International Podcast Day. Between 2015-2022, we successfully live streamed hundreds of hours, bringing in 360 podcasters from nearly 100 countries including Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Poland, Germany, South Africa, Jamaica, Spain, Argentina, Mexico, United Arab Emirates, Nigeria, Philippines, India, France, Switzerland, Scotland, UK, Finland, Canada, the United States, and so many more. International Podcast Day has been mentioned by New York Times, Apple Podcasts, Yahoo, CBS, and ESPN (to name a few). Special social events, festivals, and meet-ups are organized around the world on or around September 30 just to celebrate!

Since 2014, the International Podcast Day team has focused on showcasing independent podcasting talent from around the world and raising the awareness of a growing industry. From day one, we were dedicated to creating a lively celebration that the podcasting industry could rally around. Without question, our community has organically grown International Podcast Day into something much bigger than we could have ever imagined. The community’s creativity has been nothing less than spectacular and inspiring.
