The state of Maryland declared May to be Maryland Podcast Month in 2018, and three years later they’re still keeping it going. This year they upped the ante by launching the fan-voted Maryland Podcast Awards.
The Maryland Podcast Awards celebrates all podcasts made in their state no matter their topic to spur collaboration and interest in their burgeoning podcast community.
“Maryland Podcast Month is all about shining a light on locally produced content,” said Brian Griffiths, founder of Maryland Podcast Month. “In this time of social distancing, there is no better way to connect to others and connect to our community and topics of interest than through podcasting. Maryland podcasters are still producing great content, and they deserve a bigger spotlight.”
