Short thesis

Joel Lovell and Tobias Bauckhage discuss the developments that have led to the current podcast boom in the US: what historical events, technological changes, format innovations, entrepreneurs, storytellers and shows have created this “Golden Age of Podcasting”?

Description

What caused the massive successes of narrative podcasts like “Serial”, “S-Town”, “Missing Richard Simmons”, “Homecoming” or “The Daily”? Why is Spotify buying one podcast company after the other right now? Why is Hollywood suddenly investing into podcast productions? And what could be learned from all of this for the podcast market in Germany?

This session will be held in English and will be translated into German.
