National Military Podcast Day began in 2021. It was established by Shane Cunningham and Nick Nickerson, the team behind “Broken Jarhead: The Broken Podcast.”
Both are veterans who wanted to create a platform for military members to share their experiences and find healing through storytelling.
The founders saw podcasting as a therapeutic outlet, especially for those dealing with PTSD and other challenges related to military service.
They chose this medium to help veterans express themselves and connect with others who understand their journey. Their initiative quickly grew, resonating with many in the military community and beyond.
National Military Podcast Day recognizes the valuable contributions of military podcasters. It encourages veterans to start their podcasts, fostering a supportive environment for sharing stories and promoting mental health.
