Thirty days to find your voice.
Make 30 episodes by November 30. Start a show, revive a feed, or experiment with a new format. The goal is not perfection. It is discovering what happens when you keep making.

02 • THE MOVEMENT
Made by doing.
“The podcast you start is never the one you end up with. To me, this is one of the best parts of NaPodPoMo. By releasing so many episodes in such a short period of time, you figure out what works (and what doesn’t work) a lot quicker than you would with a more traditional release schedule.”
– David Hooper, 30 Podcast Episodes in 30 Days
2007
The first NaPodPoMo challenge
2026
The 19th
Annual challenge
30/30
30 episodes published in 30 days
NaPodPoMo began in 2007 with one deceptively simple idea: podcast every day for a month.
Participating in NaPodPoMo is a great way to:
- Get out of your own way.
- Learn by doing.
- Fast track your podcast from idea to launch.
- Grow your show in a safe community space.
The repetition becomes a bootcamp, a laboratory, and removes perfection barriers that block progress. That’s why it is often called the #FailFastGetGood challenge.
03 • GET READY
See what the month is about.
Consider this your invitation: bring the setup you have, the idea you cannot shake, and your willingness to join the 19th annual 30-day global podcast challenge.
04 • HOW IT WORKS
Simple rules. Real momentum.
There is no single right way to complete NaPodPoMo. The challenge stays flexible so you can focus on creating. Publish daily, batch record, catch up over the weekend, or show up on the last day and binge release. However you do it, release 30 episodes by November 30th, and you will have successfully completed the challenge.
01
Choose your experiment
Start fresh, revive a feed, build a limited series, or try a format you have been curious about.
02
Make your thirty
Use the tools, format, episode length, and publishing schedule that works best for you.
03
Finish together
Share your progress with the global #NaPodPoMo community and reach 30 published episodes by November 30.
