The upcoming Essential Listening Poll, spearheaded by Left of Dial Media's Alan Black, invites diverse participants to vote for the top 100 podcasts of all time. This initiative aims to celebrate podcasting's rich history and create a culture of critical engagement. It will highlight influential shows that have inspired audiences and creators alike. The results will be revealed at Podcast Movement in Dallas this August, accompanied by articles and events. Partners like Good Tape and The Podcast Academy are involved to foster discussions about podcasting's impact on culture.
"We have yet to write our history or establish a canon and keen new listeners are left without a starting point for exploration. The poll will celebrate the rich history of podcasting, help develop a culture of criticism, create broad debate and discussion, and breathe new life into timeless classics and forgotten cult hits," says Alan Black, founder of Left of Dial Media.
"There has been so much enthusiasm for a project like this. We are thrilled to partner with industry leaders like Good Tape, Podcast Movement, and The Podcast Academy and tastemakers like Eurowaves and EarBuds Collective to bring this project to life," adds Black.
"Good Tape Magazine aims to engage critically with the profound impact podcasting has on our culture. We're eager to extend this work through our partnership with Left of Dial Media and hope it will spark countless conversations, discussions and debates about the medium we love," says Dane Cardiel, founder of Good Tape.
The Essential Listening Poll will ensure that the groundbreaking and unforgettable shows of yesterday continue to find new audiences and inspire the creators of tomorrow and that the history of podcasting pervades the culture and is widely celebrated and discussed.
