National Military Podcast Day - October 5th
What is it? Broken Jarhead established this day to celebrate Military Podcasters using their platforms as a way to promote their business, share stories, or simply as a therapeutic way to speak what they have bottled up inside! Parade Deck is now committed to ensuring National Military Podcast Day recognizes these individuals.
October 6/7, 2001, marked the beginning of Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan (Staging: Oct 6, Movement: Oct 7), and we'd like to preface this day of remembrance with a day of celebration! We filed the paperwork, paid the legal fees, and here we are!
Why do it? Veterans often use podcasting as a therapeutic way of dealing with a vast array of military experiences. We wanted to celebrate this since one of the best ways of managing Post Traumatic Stress and other issues is discussing it. We encourage veterans to start a podcast and just talk.
How to celebrate?
1. Hashtag: #NationalMilitaryPodcastDay in posts when spreading the news.
2. Call to Action. Plug in a mic and let that silky voice out! Talking through the demons helps the PTS/fear/anxiety, so just vent.
3. Post National Military Podcast Day and Parade Deck logos on your social media accounts.
4. Share a podcast with a friend and "strongly encourage" them to like it :)
5. Leave reviews and 5-stars on a podcast if you haven't already.
