Mission & History

The Philadelphia Podcasting Society & Creative Arts Alliance, formerly just The Philadelphia Podcasting Society, supports The Greater Philadelphia Area's creators—podcasters, writers, artists, game designers, and more—through socialization, information sharing, resource exchange, and community events. We serve as a centralized community connecting those content creators with fans and other creative organizations throughout the Greater Philadelphia Area (and beyond).

Our mission is to elevate the creative arts in our city—and its surrounding neighborhoods, counties, and even states—by providing low-cost or free space, in the form of live events, for creators to showcase their work. In addition, we seek to build a creative arts community that can feel supported and seen by their peers while making the Greater Philadelphia Area a destination for creators of all types.

Since our first festival in 2013, PPSCAA has become a centralized hub for the Greater Philadelphia Area creative community, serving 750+ creatives. This includes hosting over 250 shows across 15+ festivals and singular live events. We've also raised over $1500 for various charities, including those that serve our community.

In 2023, we took the next step in our story to broaden the types of creators we support. Writers, authors, game designers, artists, crafters, and more are all welcome in this community.

"Philly lowkey has a lot of podcasts, and this event will feature more than [55] local series. An additional seven podcast teams will travel to Philly from all over the country for the event. The vast majority of the live recordings are free."
