We are less than two weeks away from Podcast Movement 2019! The BIG event is right around the corner.
This week’s newsletter features the PM19 Parties, the sessions for the Audio Drama/Fiction Track, and two more keynote updates!
PM19 Parties!
|
We are often asked for the can’t-miss Podcast Movement events for new attendees. We always recommend starting with the New Attendee Orientation Sessions, and then choosing other presentations and workshops based on your goals and experience levels. But the number one thing that an attendee should never miss at Podcast Movement are the parties! We’re not joking. The parties are some of the best opportunities to make new connections, have fun with friends, and take your podcast to the Old Town Road! We urge you to take advantage! |

Join iHeartRadio, and all of your PM19 friends (old and new) for our biggest party of the year on Thursday evening, August 15 from 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm.

Edison Research Keynote at PM19
For many of the attendees at Podcast Movement, podcasting is just second nature. We’ve grown up with the idea of what a podcast is, and what it can be. But millions of people have recently discovered podcasting, and the concept of a podcast is very different to them.
Join Edison Research SVP Tom Webster for a brand new research presentation on the differences between podcast listeners – the rookies and the vets.
Tom will present an all-new cut of Edison and Triton Digital’s Infinite Dial data. It will be combined with new qualitative research with professionals and hobbyists, to provide PM19 attendees with a clear vision of where podcasting has been, and where it is going.
