Description:

A podcast isnโ€™t just a podcast anymore.

Audiences are discovering and consuming shows across YouTube, audio platforms, social feeds, clips and communities. At the same time, creators are increasingly building more than shows, theyโ€™re building brands, businesses and audiences that extend far beyond the traditional podcast feed.

This conversation explores where podcasting is heading and what that evolution means for creators. How is discovery changing? What role will audio and video play? Where should creators focus their energy and which trends are just noise?
