June 9th 2026 - door open at 6.00pm for 6.30pm

In person event at the Nobel Rooms, The Conduit, WC2H 9JA

Join us at The Conduit for a Media Society panel unpacking the fast-evolving podcast landscape. From niche shows to blockbuster brands, podcasts are reshaping how audiences discover, watch, and listen – across audio apps, YouTube, and the living room TV.

Event Description

Podcasts are no longer the new kids on the block – but they are still having a dramatic impact on the world of media.

Content creators generating specialist podcasts. New podcast companies producing highly successful new brands. And legacy media organisations launching podcasts to try to compete in the digital era.

Podcasts are also increasingly becoming video as well as audio-based programmes, and are increasingly being watched on YouTube on TV sets as well as on mobiles.

But what does this all mean for the future of the podcast industry?

Are there too many podcasts? What makes for a successful podcast? Should they be personality or issue led? How can you make money from them? Is the move to video good or bad? What impact is AI having?

We’ll look at these and other questions in our discussion.

Panel details to be announced soon.

This event is jointly organised by the Media Society and The Conduit.
