This panel brings together the team behind What in the World to unpack how they take complex international events- from wars to economic shifts- and turn them into digestible, compelling narratives. It will explore scripting techniques, sound design, and how to keep global stories emotionally resonant without losing nuance and how they’ve implemented a new strategy prioritising Youtube as it’s become the first place for podcast discovery.
