History

Podcast Movement began in 2014, when four podcasters and entrepreneurs — Dan Franks, Jared Easley, Gary Leland, and Mitch Todd — launched the event, funded via a Kickstarter campaign, with the goal of creating a vibrant conference "for podcasters, by podcasters." It was the first podcast-focused conference of its size in over a decade and quickly grew into one of the largest gatherings in the industry, drawing over 3,000 attendees by 2019. In 2019 the organizers added a second annual event, Podcast Movement Evolutions, first held in early 2020. Podcast Movement has since joined forces with Sounds Profitable, and 2026 marks its first-ever New York City flagship event, hosted at Terminal 5 from September 14–18 and positioned to place podcasting at the center of media, advertising, and creator culture.
