Broadway Podcast Network offers entertaining, inspiring, easily accessible, and shareable content for everyone, may they be interested in behind-the-curtain access to the creative process, advice on everything from how to break into the business to how to audition, theatre history, candid interviews with their favorite stars, or just enjoying theater from the best seats in the house.
BPN's iOS app brings everything from their ecosystem, and the podcasting world, into one place:
* Streamlines your favorite Broadway and Broadway adjacent podcast content with easy discoverability
* Integration with their YouTube channel, including push notifications and access to live events and exclusive video content
* Full integration with Apple Carplay enabled vehicles
* Ability to add 3rd party, non-BPN-hosted podcasts (this allows the BPN iOS app to be your one-stop-shop, replacing all of the existing, antiquated podcast apps)
Other interesting facts on the network include:
* Even throughout a pandemic across an industry where numbers are declining (podcasting in general), we are seeing positive growth, a steady increase of over 20% per month since the pandemic started
* We are using technology to bring arts and theatre to the world in a time when the entire industry has been shut down-keeping artists working and creatively fulfilled
* The Broadway and theater industry is typically a late adapter to major technological changes (most theaters still don't even use mobile ticketing). BPN is the first of its kind - living at the cutting edge of the podcasting space, and bringing new and innovative ways for fans to connect with their favorite shows and stars
