Give your eyes a break and add this online podcast festival to your lineup of live streaming concerts and Netflix movies you planned to watch this weekend.
Podapalooza, a two-day, online festival happening April 25–26, will feature live events such as Q&As, panel discussions, listening parties and live recordings and give you access to tons of new podcast content you might have never thought to listen to before with all proceeds going to a good cause.
The fest is organized much like a real, in-person festival, so look out for "headliners" like LeVar Burton Reads, Lore, The NoSleep Podcast, Imagined Life, and Meet Cute on different, themed festival "stages" such as Popcorn Pods, Creative Class, Eyes on the World, Thinkers, Let's Talk and Kid's Corner.
As the tagline says, this is basically Live Aid "but at home, in your sweatpants, listening to podcasts."
To participate, podcast fans have to buy a ticket with a pay-what-you-can model. You'll then get a lineup and schedule in your email inbox. Throughout the festival weekend, new acts will drop in the Podapalooza podcast app to listen to—by Sunday night you'll have 70+ podcasts from a variety of genres to check out. If you can't listen this weekend, don't worry. The content will stay in the app after the festival is over.
All net proceeds of the event will go to GiveDirectly, a nonprofit offering cash relief to vulnerable households in areas affected by the pandemic.
