Now Hear This Podcast Festival presented by Midroll Media will be coming to the Anaheim Marriott on Oct. 28-30.
The festival will feature over 30 live podcasts with more than six stages, meet-and-greet opportunities, fan oriented experiences and much more.
The lineup will include some of the biggest names in podcasting, including Scott Aukerman of Comedy Bang! Bang!, Marc Maron with WTF podcast, Reggie Osse with The Combat Jack Show, Aaron Mahnke with Lore podcast, and Casey Wilson and Danielle Schneider with Bitch Sesh podcast.
Other performers will be The Memory Palace, Trumpcast, The Moth, Hello From the Magic Tavern, and three NPR podcasts; How I Built This, Embedded and Pop Culture Happy Hour.
“For the first time, I’ll be joined live on stage by the co-creator of ‘WTF,’ Brendan McDonald, for a live conversation about what it took to make ‘WTF,’ and we’ll be taking questions from the fans in attendance,” Marc Maron said, “It’ll be a great way to give podcast fans a behind-the-scenes look at the podcast in a way we’ve never done before. And I always love interacting with the fans, which is what makes an event like this special.”
