Join us for one of our special in-person Media Society events at The Conduit on Tuesday 9th June at 6.30pm – for a timely discussion on the podcast industry.
The discussion will look at whether there are too many podcasts, and what makes for a successful format. It will also look at what’s next for the podcast industry: the rise of video shows, evolving monetisation models, and how AI is reshaping production and discovery.
