We're back this week with some special news!
After a several-year hiatus, we're proud to be partnering with Libsyn to bring back the Podcast Hall of Fame, this March at Evolutions 2022.
The Hall of Fame was started to recognize great podcasters or contributors to the industry with historical impact. We're excited to introduce the new 2022 Hall of Fame class in the coming weeks, as well as honor past inductees.
“I was honored and very excited to be inducted into the Podcast Hall of Fame in 2017 and am happy we will be having another opportunity to celebrate another group of amazingly innovative contributors to the development of the podcasting medium,” said Rob Greenlee, VP, Podcast Content & Partnerships at Libsyn/Advertisecast.
“We will be adding many more deserving inductees in years to come. The 2022 inductees will be amazing Ambassadors to further creator and listener growth.”
The ceremony will take place on Friday, March 25 in the evening after the last session of the day. It will be free and open to the public as well as Evolutions attendees. We will also be streaming the ceremony live for the podcast community around the world.
Stay tuned for the 2022 Hall of Fame nominees, and more details.
