Advocacy in the Podcasting World

Welcome to season four of Podcast Movement Sessions! This time around we’re focusing on PM19’s Society, Culture, and Advocacy track and for our season premier we’re taking a look more specifically at how creators have turned to the podcasting medium as a means of advocating for societal change.

We’ll speak with PM co-founders Jared Easley and Dan Franks about podcasting’s low barrier of entry and how that has created a space for underrepresented voices to get their voices out about issues they care deeply for 2:40; we’ll shine our PMS spotlight on a full circle moment from PM19 through a conversation with Ear Hustle co-creators Nigel Poor and Earlonne Woods–Ear Hustle could be the finest example of a podcast that grew into a force for change 8:04; finally, we’ll hear from Leigh Pfeffer (host of History is Gay), the team behind Gay Future (Christina Friel and Connor Wright), Accused host/reporter Amber Hunt, and Tenderfoot TV’s Christina Dana about how each of them consider themselves advocates through their respective podcasts 22:16.
