Why a Podcast Marathon?
The Rise of Podcast Culture
Podcasts have become one of the most powerful platforms for sharing knowledge, stories, and experiences. From business insights to personal journeys, podcasts allow deeper engagement compared to short-form content.
This event leveraged that format and extended it into a long-duration challenge.
Celebrating International Women’s Day
The marathon was conducted on International Women’s Day, adding a meaningful layer to the event. Discussions throughout the day focused on themes such as:
- Women in leadership
- Career growth and challenges
- Workplace inclusion
- Personal and professional journeys
The continuous format allowed for diverse voices to be heard without time constraints.
