International Podcast Day is September 30th and is an international celebration of the power of podcasts! The celebration is a great opportunity to connect with fellow podcasters, podcast listeners, podcast enthusiasts, and leaders in the podcasting industry.

Just as podcasts and podcasting has evolved over the years, International Podcast Day has done the same.  In 2014, National Podcast Day was first celebrated. After quickly realizing the power of podcasts internationally, it became rebranded into what we know today – International Podcast Day, celebrated on September 30.
