Elsewhere, recent Independent Podcaster survey results show creators splitting into two broad groups.

These differences show up in formats, production time, and a growing worry that video’s rise could narrow the types of stories podcasters feel able to make.
There is also a look at the event season ahead and how to get more from it. The focus is on going in with clear intentions, using the space to meet potential guests, and treating each venue as a chance to make connections rather than sit through panels all day.
