Featuring live programming, recording studios, and major platform involvement, the move positions podcasting alongside film, music, and tech as a central pillar of modern media.Statement From Bryan Barletta of Sounds ProfitablePodcast Movement has done incredible things for bringing the industry together, and podcasting is an industry that has changed drastically every 2 years since Podcast Movement started. Our goal with all of the changes, both bringing Evolutions to SXSW and our primary event to NYC is to evolve with the industry.The first half of each year is so overflowing with events that we made the decision to combine Sounds Profitable's three previous years of events at SXSW with our goals to grow Podcast Movement. This allowed us to not only put a bigger spotlight on podcasting but make a compelling case for why podcasters should show up en masse to larger creator and entertainment events like SXSW. We hope that our choice not to require SXSW passes nor to sell tickets to our space shows how serious we are about proving our goals to continue growing and supporting this industry.We'll have more to announce soon about NYC, which I'm somehow even more excited about because I believe it addresses all aspects of the industry as the unique pieces they are, providing options for everyone.And for those who can't make it: all our content, like podcasting, is completely free and we are working hard for a quick turn around.Connect with the Poduty CommunityEveryone featured on the show becomes part of the "Poduty Crew"—head to news.poduty.com to see all past guests, upcoming live events, and how you can join the thriving podcast community based right here at the Poduty Podcast Theater in Pittsburgh.Subscribe, Listen, and Leave a Review!Catch the replay and check out show notes, guest links, and more at news.poduty.com.
