What is International Podcast Day?

The International Podcast Day (September 30th) commemorates the promotion of podcasts and the technologies surrounding it. People around the world listen to their favorite podcasts to stay up with the most up-to-date news, technology, entertainment, or news.

Podcasts are digital audio recordings of radio-style shows. Listeners can download, play directly from a website, or access via an app or digital media player. Video is also included in many podcasts. These on-demand audio files sell subscriptions as well, building a library of podcasts available to listeners. Podcasts are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, unlike broadcast radio, which follows a schedule.

Podcasts are also a great way to listen often and often, as the new trend of binge-watching a TV series. And while podcast topics may vary, the designs may differ.
