The increasing popularity of podcasts is driving an explosion in spoken word content. From public broadcasters to forward-looking brands, everyone seems to be interested in reaching people through their headphones. Documentary filmmakers are in a good position to tap into these trends, leverage their skills, and adapt their stories to these new audiences.

Join us for a lively panel discussion with some of the country's top audio storytellers as they discuss:

• What is driving the demand for audio storytelling?

• What makes a good audio story great?

• What are the pros and cons of broadcast vs. streaming vs. podcasts?

• Who's producing and who's buying?

• What are the barriers to access and how to get involved?
