Keynote Talk: The Rise of Daily News Podcasts (In An Election Year!)

Daily news podcasts are having a moment. Over the past few years, the number of daily podcasts has more than tripled as more media organizations have turned to the medium as a way to connect with their audience. They've emerged as a go-to news source for news junkies around the world, providing clarity and, at times, comfort during a moment when many are looking for a deeper understanding in a complex and relentless news cycle. But, how do you stand out in an increasingly competitive industry? And how do you make sure your show is meeting this moment? In this session, you'll hear from the brains—and voices—behind some of the most popular daily news podcasts about how their shows' growing popularity, the ways in which they have responded to the needs of a growing audience, and how they have reinvented the notion of what a typical newscast should consist of and sound like.
