There will also be several panels on the industry, including one on women in podcasting and another on the business of podcasting.
“The Black Effect Podcast Network was created to amplify Black voices for new and established content creators and storytellers, giving them a space to showcase their creative vision in the ever-growing podcast game,” Charlamagne Tha God said in a statement. “I’m excited to celebrate the first-ever Black Effect Podcast Festival, where talented Black creators and aspiring podcasters will come together for a day to uplift and inspire one another. This festival is for the culture and is one of many events the network will host for the Black community.”
In total, the Black Effect Podcast Network boasts 32 different shows.
The Black Effect Podcast Festival will be held on Sunday, August 28, at the Brooklyn Mirage’s Avant Gardner venue in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Tickets for the event will be going on sale on July 6 at 10:00 AM, ET.
