I went to Pod Summit YYC for the first time last year, and it quickly became one of my favourite podcast events. In this episode, I talk with founder Tim Truax about what makes it different—and why he believes community is the answer to the isolation many podcasters experience.We talk about Calgary’s growing podcast scene, the need for a truly Canadian podcast event, and how Pod Summit brings independent creators and industry leaders together without feeling like a typical conference. Tim also previews this year’s speakers, live podcasts and hands-on workshops, including sessions on audio branding, storytelling and audience growth.Pod Summit YYC takes place October 16 and 17 at The GRAND in downtown Calgary. I’ll be there—and whether you already have a podcast or are simply curious about starting one, this conversation explains why you might want to be there too.NEW!
