Comicpalooza 2017 is this coming weekend, May 12-14, in Houston Texas. One of the unique things about Comicpalooza is how supportive they are of the podcast medium. In 2015, an official program was launched, the Comicpalooza Podcast Partnership Program, as a means to get more shows involved in the event. It also showcases different podcasts by giving them the opportunity to perform live for an audience.
In addition to the scheduled live shows, there is also an annual podcasting panel that has been running for the last five years. The theme for 2017 is “Diversity in Podcasting” and it will be held on Saturday, May 13th at 4:30 PM in room 372D. The panel will include hosts from shows such as Metal Geeks, Mindfudge Comedy Podcast, Casterquest, NthCast, Cult45, Matinee Heroes, Nerdy Bitches, and Nerd Fu.
Several of the podcasts will be hosting their own live recordings in a panel room, but every single one of the twenty-nine shows involved in the Comicpalooza Podcast Partnership Program will be performing live at some point throughout the weekend. Comicpalooza has reserved a special section of the main hall (booth 3319) as a location for podcasts to perform. A complete schedule is listed below.
