The way we watch podcasts – both short and long form – is exploding. But today’s production options are limited. They can lack the creative flexibility, polished quality, and practical workflows that top-tier shows (and their sponsors) now expect, all while staying within budget. Now imagine a podcast studio where you can instantly switch set designs, build your dream setup without physical limitations, walk away with a near-finished edit, update sponsor branding with a tap, or refresh the look of your show each season — all without breaking the bank.

In this session, Rob Chandler introduces VeePod – a groundbreaking podcast studio solution built on simplified versions of the real-time technologies used in film and TV. It’s designed to solve the creative, technical, and logistical challenges of modern podcasting in one flexible system. The result? High-impact, scalable video podcast content – perfect for short-form clips, immersive storytelling, and brand growth – with a streamlined, future-ready workflow.

The old ways of measuring podcasts don’t work well anymore, for a variety of reasons including the rise of YouTube, Spotify’s video push, and Apple’s changes to automatic downloads. Audiences are evolving. So are consumption patterns and distribution platforms. We need a currency that better serves advertisers and publishers, and our industry needs to collectively decide on new measurement approaches to support sustainable businesses.

Bumper’s Dan Misener leads this conversation over doughnuts and coffee with experts in the room — the leaders of our industry. This is not a presentation: Bumper does not pretend to have a one-size-fits-all solution — but we need to have open and honest conversations about future-proofing our measurement solutions.
