Greetings PM Family,
Video Games are as popular as ever. You can look at the statistics if you don’t believe it. My (Jared) mom plays games on her mobile device. I wouldn’t have thought that was possible, when I was 10 years old, as she was telling me that I couldn’t play any more NES for the rest of the day. Podcasting is growing fast, much like the video game industry. We tip our hats to gaming in this edition of the weekly newsletter. The focus for today is the Live Stage (sponsored by Voxnest), the PM19 Midday Sessions and the Podcast Makeover that YOU AN APPLY TO BE A PART OF!
Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, start (this is our newsletter power-up sequence).
It’s Go Time: Pitch Your Podcast on PM19’s Live Stage
With the growing interest in live streaming in the podcast space, Voxnest is a natural partner for Podcast Movement as it takes the next logical step: adding live streaming to the Live Stage at PM19. Podcast Movement will be streaming all the sessions taking place on the Live Stage, so anyone around the world can check them out. A first for the event, the live discussions will offer audiences an engaging and immersive experience, no matter where they are.
Voxnest is thrilled to sponsor Live Stage at PM19, an exciting new addition to this year’s line-up of amazing speakers. Aspiring podcasters should mark their calendars for August 15 at 2:15 pm for “Goldfish Tank (Sharks are so Scary!),” a session where attendees will have the opportunity to pitch their podcast idea and get (gentle) feedback from some of the industry’s most talented podcast producers, including Jonathan Zenti, Mitra Kaboli, Earlonne Woods, Skye Pillsbury and Dana Elizabeth Gerber-Margie.
Another session that’s sure to be a hit is “Content and Industry: Friends, Relatives or Total Strangers?” This session, on August 15 at 11:30 am, will host a panel of media experts who will discuss how the podcast industry’s growth and monetization is affecting the quality of what reaches the listeners ears.
