Happy Wednesday PM Family,
Quick note: This is the last week to submit a presentation for PM Evolutions in LA this February. You can submit your session idea here.
The United States celebrated Veterans Day this past Monday. Our community has many inspiring veterans that are doing great work through their podcasts. Veterans Day may be over, but we still feel inclined to dedicate this week's newsletter to highlight them.
Podcast Movement has a great appreciation for our men and women service members, first responders, members of our allied forces, as well as spouses and family of service members.
Today we will spotlight a few veterans in the Podcast Movement community, highlights from the PodMov Daily newsletter, the latest PM mini-documentaries, as well as additional community updates.
Let's begin.
Podcasts Represented by Veterans in the PM Family
- The Veterans Homebuying Show by Brian Keith Bailey – Brian is a realtor, podcaster, and author. He served in the Air Force. His show helps veterans avoid mistakes when buying their home.
- The 80's Hour Podcast with Juan Aleman II – Juan's show is full of fun and trivia that pays tribute to all of the nostalgia that the 80's decade had to offer.
- Cold Case Chronicles with Ronnie Coursey – The Cold Case Chronicles are the findings of a group of women dedicated to researching, investigating, and reporting their results on cold cases.

- Yardbird, Tuna with Chris Hunter – This podcast covers a variety of topics for the working class that ranges from flat earthers, car culture, bullying, and lots more.
We could share many many more, but to keep this newsletter from turning into a podcast directory, we will taper off the list here. We do want to give honorable mentions to fellow veterans, community members and generous supporters such as James Van Prooyen, Todd Cochrane, Josh Elledge, Mark Deal, Bill Nowicki, and Tom Schwab (to name a few).
If you haven't checked out the PodMov Daily newsletter yet then you are missing out on the latest updates in the podcast industry!

Podcasting Soon: Big Whig Media, DC's Open Multimedia Studio
A new state-of-the-art podcast studio will soon be launching in Washington, DC. Big Whig Media is located near the White House, on the ground floor of the Willard Hotel.
While radio broadcasters are routinely critiqued and coached by their program directors in aircheck sessions, podcasters usually don't have the same opportunity to get feedback from professionals. In this blog series, we invite a panel of broadcasting professionals to critique up-and-coming podcasters.

PM Community Updates!
- YouTube says it can delete your account if you’re not ‘commercially viable' – “Content creators beware! Keep podcasting independent so we never have one entity that can decide under its sole discretion which content is “no longer commercially viable.” – Tom Rossi (Head of BuzzSprout)
- Bee Angel-Marie Hills asks, “What kind of Podcasts do you do?”
Once again, a belated thank you to all of our men and women service members in the PM family. We appreciate your service. We also appreciate the freedom that your efforts have helped to protect. The freedom to create a podcast is something that everyone in this community can celebrate.
Thank you,
Team PM
