Today, September 30, marks International Podcast Day — a chance to recognize one of the fastest-growing ways people connect with stories, news, and entertainment around the world.
Podcasts have transformed how we listen and learn. Unlike traditional radio, which runs on a schedule, podcasts are available anytime, anywhere. Whether it’s a deep dive into technology, a local news update, or an inspiring conversation, podcasts give listeners the power to choose what they want to hear and when.
What makes podcasts so engaging is their flexibility. You can stream them while commuting, download them for a road trip, or play them while taking a walk. And they’re not just audio anymore—many podcasts now include video, offering another way to connect with content and personalities you care about.
Local Voices, On Demand
Here at CatchMark Community, we’re proud to contribute to this ever-growing world of podcasts by producing shows rooted in our local community:
- We Built This White Lake – Now in its sixth season, this series—produced in partnership with the White Lake Area Chamber of Commerce—features area businesses and community members who share both the history and the present story of their work and lives along the lakeshore.
- Get Busy Living – Hosted by Chris Stark, this inspiring series explores what it means to truly live while facing life with cancer, reminding us all of the importance of seizing the moment and getting busy living.
- Mind, Body, Luminosity – A health and wellness podcast where enlightenment meets empowerment, encouraging listeners to take steps toward greater balance and well-being.
Together, these shows highlight voices, stories, and conversations that matter to our community—and beyond.
