The Podcathon is back for 2022 and the team behind the Around The Galaxy Cast bring all the details you need for this very special event.
New Orleans, LA, July 12, 2022 – Star Wars content creators Pete Fletzer, Scotty Jayro and Nick Mielke are pleased to announce that PODATHON 2022, the third annual all-day marathon livestream event benefiting MAKE-A-WISH AMERICA, will take place on Saturday, September 17, 2022 beginning at 9am eastern and concluding sometime after 10pm that day.
The full-day livestream event will feature more than a dozen of the most popular STAR WARS fan content creators (full list to be released) in approximately one-hour slots producing their show live while giving audience members a chance to donate directly through the PODATHON MAKE-A-WISH online site. Every penny collected goes directly to the charity.
“The STAR WARS fan community is made up of some of the most generous and caring people I’ve ever met,” said Pete Fletzer. “The outpouring of support last year was so powerful and more than we honestly expected.” In 2020 PODATHON raised over $2,200 and last year the event crested $8,300. This year, the goal has been set to raise over $10,000 for MAKE-A-WISH.
In 2021, in addition to the most influential podcasters and YouTubers in STAR WARS fandom, PODATHON featured best selling authors Claudia Gray and Charles Soule, actor Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, Lucasfilm’s Matt Martin and Disney Parks’ Imagineering executive Scott Trowbridge. This year’s guest list promises the same star power.
“Our shared love of the STAR WARS universe has led us to opportunities to get to know so many amazing people,” said Scotty Jayro. “Giving back to the community in the form of a wonderful charity like MAKE-A-WISH feels like a natural thing to do.”
More information will be released in the coming weeks leading up to the September 17, 2022 event. Follow @ThePodathon on Twitter and Instagram for announcements and visit ThePodathon.com for further details.
