September 30th is International Podcast Day and Barb's Tea Service celebrated in a most appropriate way: we were in the studio recording our 19th Podcast!
Although we're new to podcasting, we're even "newer" to International Podcast Day. We just discovered it today, hearing it get a brief shout out on a morning news show. We had already rescheduled our podcast with ONTV last week - our usual slot is on Friday - but we switched to Monday as we had been on the road for much of September. How exciting to learn that we were podcasting on such a special day.

With a little more digging, we discovered more about this holiday from, not surprisingly, National Podcast Day's website (International Podcast Day). Already just over a decade-old, it was created by Steve Lee in 2014. Inspired by a radio announcement declaring it National Senior Citizen's Day, Lee, a podcaster, thought his special interest, shared by a growing community, deserved its own day as well. September was chosen because the first podcast in 2004, was in September.
Gaining a following quickly, National Podcast Day was rebranded for global reach. It became "International" in 2015.
National Day Calendar states that International Podcast Day "dedicates September 30th to promote the growing media of podcasts and the technologies surrounding it. Around the world, people listen to their favorite podcasts to keep up with the latest news, technology, entertainment, or information."
Our first podcast started in March of this year and, it's clear, that along with my co-host/arm candy, Chris, we're having a lot of fun talking about our passion, tea and tea-adjacent topics. But, we also know there's a lot to learn in the world of "pod smiths" (a term we picked up from the fictional podcast crew of "Only Murders in the Building"). We're continuing to enhance our skills with another podcast class this week at ONTV. This training will bring a new dimension to Barb's Tea Service's "talk show" and we're excited to share this next level with you all very soon.
In the meantime, a raised cup of your favorite tea and cheers to International Podcast Day!
