) brings together podcasters from all over the country and provides original goods and experiences centered around the worldview of the podcast programs they distribute, providing a place for encounters and buying and selling that goes beyond the boundaries of audio. This is a market event.
The third event held last year attracted over 3,500 visitors, making it the largest real-life podcast event in Japan, both in name and reality.
The theme for this year’s 4th year is “Two days of celebrating (hugging) voices.”
I’m going to meet that voice that I always hear.
I am grateful to that voice that always listens to me.
