Podapalooza is a way to bring together fans of podcasts who want to contribute to a great cause while listening to podcasts. Rally together to help fight the effects of COVID while discovering your new favorite podcast.
After getting a festival pass, we'll give you the ability to add a podcast to a podcast app. If you have an Apple phone, you can use Apple Podcasts. If you have an Android phone, you can download an app such as Pocket Casts, Spotify, or Stitcher. And if you're on your desktop, you can listen with iTunes, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Stitcher. If you have any questions or need help, check out this article, or send an email to support@glow.fm.
We have two parts to Podapalooza.
The Podapalooza Live stage are a series of events we are live-streaming through the weekend. We have an action-packed lineup of Q&As, listening parties, a story slam, even a cocktail making class! Check out the lineup and schedule here.
The Podapalooza Stages are pre-recorded episodes that drop into a podcast, but come out on a schedule – just like bands coming on stage at a music festival. But if there are shows you are particularly excited about, you can set your alarm to catch them right when they come out!
Yes, we will publish them later this week.
There will be a mix. Some episodes will be brand new. Others will be released before you can find them in their typical podcast. And some others are past episodes the podcasters have specifically selected as an introduction to their show.
For transcripts of one or multiple episodes from the Podapalooza podcast, email support@glow.fm.
We have a special Kids Corner stage, which has a set of content for kids of various ages. This content won't appear in the main Podapalooza feed, so after you get your festival pass, add the Kids Corner to your podcast app.
We also have a live event on Sunday at 2pm PT, where one of the hosts of the KidNuz podcast will answer questions submitted by kids. Send in your questions here.
