As chances are you’ll recall, Podcast Motion instantly apologized to the offended celebration by way of Twitter in a since-deleted tweet, inflicting Cumulus Media to cry foul and announce it will not
help the 2023 conference. Podcast Motion tweeted on Thursday (9/8): “As we said, we’re persevering with to guage our insurance policies guiding social media & occasions with inclusivity, range & respect for all. Now we have to start out by sincerely apologizing to Mr. Shapiro for our response when he visited a sales space we bought his firm. That wasn’t proper. Podcast Motion started in 2014, with 4 podcasters who had an concept to create a vibrant group that was for podcasters, by podcasters. We’re nonetheless these individuals with the identical concept, and 
acknowledge there’s work to do as we develop.

Does Podcast Motion need to alienate them to appease a small however very vocal minority? Then again, if it says, “everybody’s welcome,” you’ll be able to wager these illiberal of others’ opinions will protest loudly, and the annual occasion then turns into a referendum on political partisanship. Podcast Motion has lower than a yr to determine this out.
