When is National Military Podcast Day? This day will take place on October 5 of each calendar year.
What is National Military Podcast Day? We want to celebrate the Military Podcasters using their platforms as a way to promote their business, share stories, or simply as a therapeutic way to speak what they have bottled up inside! We want to chisel out a day that recognizes these individuals. October 6, 2001, marked the beginning of Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan, and we’d like to preface this day of remembrance with a day of celebration!
Why is this day being celebrated? Veterans often use podcasting as a therapeutic way of dealing with what they encountered in the military. We want to celebrate this since one of the best ways of dealing with PTSD is discussing it. We want to encourage veterans to start a podcast and just talk. We think creating this day would help encourage this action!
