Where would podcasting be without the grafters, the side-hustlers and the game-changers?

Independent podcasting is a feat of endurance. You deserve your own day to celebrate, and to be recognised for how awesome you are.

Orbit, a Mercury Network, was built to empower people just like you, because we believe every single podcaster deserves the best opportunities to succeed.

We know how tough it is.

And that’s why we’re taking July 4th, and we’re renaming it.

To celebrate you.

This is Independents Day.

HOW CAN YOU GET INVOLVED?

Celebrating Independent Podcasters Day is super simple:

1. Pledge your support to independent podcasters below. We’ll share a roll call with the world, right here, from July 4th and your name should be on it (but you can stay anonymous, if you wish).

2. Use hashtag #IndiePodDay to share your story. We want to hear the good, the bad, and the crazy, because if you’ve gone through it, we guarantee someone else has too (and knowing they’re not alone might be just what they need to battle through the podfade).
