PM19 Technical Track, NASA offers an awesome opportunity to PM19 attendees, New Speaker Announcements and Industry/Community Updates!
Greetings PM Family,
One of our all-time favorite movies is the Princess Bride. We don’t condone bullying, but when it comes to Peter Cook’s Impressive Clergyman, you can’t help but chuckle.
The clergyman is romantic and clueless during Prince Humperdinck and Buttercup’s wedding. Check out this iconic scene.
June has traditionally been the most popular month for weddings in the US. There are a number of reasons for this, ranging from traditions to folklore to etiquette (you can read some of that here if you like). June also brings breaks from school, and from dangerous winter weather, which helps guests make the trip from out of town to be in attendance.
And let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a good celebration? Weddings are a great time to celebrate. Podcast Movement also happens to have a lot to celebrate this week. We plan to share more about the Technical Track at PM19, share an exciting offering that NASA has for a handful of PM attendees, and discuss some updates from our industry and community.
Let’s get stawwted!

NASA Extends a Generous Invite to a Few PM19 Attendees
Our friends at NASA have offered to host some PM19 attendees at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center for a behind-the-scenes tour of the facility and one-on-one interviews with NASA researchers. It will be an epic, full-day event and take place right before conference.
Here are the event details so far:
Date: Monday, August 12
Time: TBA. It will be an all-day event, starting in the late morning and ending around 5 pm ET.
Location: NASA’s Kennedy Space Center
Number of participants: The max number of people is 20 to give the selected participants an even more exclusive experience.
Security: All participants will need to be cleared for access to the facility. The process takes ~14 days for U.S. citizens and ~30 days for non-U.S. citizens.
Applications: Applications from participants will be collected by the team at NASA, who will then extend invites to attend the event. NASA will open up applications this month.
Schedule: TBA. NASA will set aside some time in the schedule for podcasters to interact with their experts (perhaps some astronauts, too) and possibly record segments and interviews for your shows.
We will share more info about this soon!
