He continued, “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.”
Having launched barely two years ago, the Black Effect Podcast Network has already fostered 32 shows, birthing a list of exceptional talent and impactful voices that continuously educate, entertain and provoke thoughts from the public.
The Black Effect Podcast Festival will feature its most attractive shows including The 85 South Show (hosted by DC Young Fly, Karlous Miller, and Chio Bean), All The Smoke, We Talk Back, Reasonably Shady, Black Tech Green Money, WHOREible Decisions and The Trap Nerds Podcast. To make the festival even more interesting, there will be two discussions going on that day: a “Women in Podcasting” panel and a “Business of Podcasting” one, which will feature Charlamagne Tha God and president of production and creative development for the Black Effect Podcast Network, Dollie S. Bishop. Also, Nissan, the event’s primary sponsor, will host a pop-up market highlighting Black businesses. It will also provide a family game room, photo booth and other attractions for a fun-filled day.
