International Podcast Day

From Niche to Global

Launched in 2014, International Podcast Day is celebrated annually on September 30 to recognize the power of podcasts in connecting people, sharing knowledge, and shaping culture. What began as a niche hobby has exploded into one of the most influential media formats of the 21st century, with millions of shows spanning every imaginable topic.

In 2025, podcasts are more than entertainment—they’re education, activism, storytelling, and business. From true crime deep-dives to crypto chats, comedy shows to meditation soundscapes, podcasts have democratized broadcasting, giving anyone with a mic and vision a platform. Today is about celebrating the voices who create, and the communities who listen.
