Podcast Movement 2017 will take place in Anaheim, California, on August 23-25, 2017. Last year, they slowly revealed who their speakers would be, one by one. This year, Podcast Movement 2017 is following that same pattern. They have announced who one of the Keynote Speaker of Podcast Movement 2017 will be. You can expect to see additional speakers revealed as we get closer to the event.

Podcast Movement 2017 announced that Dan Carlin will be the speaker who will headline Podcast Movement 2017. In the announcement, Podcast Movement 2017 stated that they have tried for three years to bring Dan Carlin to the Podcast Movement stage with no success. This year, they were successful.

Dan Carlin is the host of two popular independent podcasts: Hardcore History, and Common Sense. Dan Carlin is an American political commentator and podcaster who was once a full-time radio host. Podcast Movement describes Dan Carlin this way:

Part storyteller, part analyst, Carlin has mastered the art of looking at subjects from multiple angles and dissecting and thinking about them in original ways. He isn’t afraid to go deep or to inject historical context into modern debates. Whether it’s history or current events he’s discussing, his passion is contagious, his approach is refreshing and his ideas tickle your brain in all the right places.

Podcast Movement points out that it is rare for Dan Carlin to take the stage at live events.
