The Origin Theatre

Podcasting isn’t the future anymore, it’s already one of the UK’s biggest cultural and commercial success stories. It’s creating hit shows, launching talent, selling out live events, attracting major advertisers, and building globally successful media brands. But does the industry still get treated like a side hustle instead of a serious entertainment business? (Spoiler - sometimes, but that’s changing fast.) Chaired by Steve Ackerman, this session brings together Megan Bradshaw - Amazon Music, Chloe Straw - Goalhanger, and Dino Sofos - Persephonica to discuss this disruptor industry that has now well and truly entered the mainstream.
