Programme & Speakers

Developing a new show

Podcasts allow you to try something different: but what’s the best way to plan a new show? How do you get the format right, choose the right hosts, and get the most out of it? Speaking in this session Julie Shapiro (PRX, USA) & Lory Martinez (Studio Ochenta, France).

Making Podcasts Pay

What options are there to earn revenue from podcasting? Does all podcast ads need to sound like radio advertising; and how flexible can they be? The two headliners of this mega session are Rob Greenlee (Libsyn’s Advertise Cast, USA) & Daniella Murphy (Acast Creative Director, UK).

Designing your podcast to be a success

What is the best way to make a successful podcast? This session looks at the data of successful shows. What makes them successful and how can you emulate that success?

Bringing the research to this session Tom Webster (VP, Edison Research’s Podcast Consumer Survey, USA) & Rasmus Kidde (Audience Researcher, DR, DK)

What is next in podcasting?

What’s next for podcasting? Which content trends will become bigger? Is it still all about true crime? Will catch-up radio decline as more podcasters produce different-sounding content? Audio drama? Mental Health Podcast? Immersive audio? What does the heads of Podcasting plan for the year to come?

With more speakers to come but some awesome speakers in there right now Brian Barletta (Sounds Profitable, USA), Jessica Radburn (Head of International podcast content, Wondery, Germany), Craig Strachan (Head of Podcast Europe and ANZ, Amazon Music, UK)

Radiodays Europe decided to postpone the conference due to increasing health risks in many countries associated with COVID-19. An announcement about this change was made on March 9, 2020. At the time, Radiodays Europe stated that the new dates would be released at a later date.

On March 18, 2020, Radiodays Europe announced what the new dates would be for the Radiodays Europe conference that was to be held in Libson.

Radiodays has announced today new dates for the Libson 2020 conference which will now be held on 13-15 December 2020. The event is postponed until late in the year because of Coronavirus COVID-19. All tickets purchased for Radiodays Europe 2020 in March are valid for the new dates in December. The location for the conference remains the same, the Centro de Congresses de Libson (CCL) in Portugal. We thank you for your continued support of our hosts and partners.

Radiodays Europe starred in 2010 as a response to the European industry, public and private, to come together to discuss the new media challenges, across borders. It has since grown to become the most important annual conference for radio professionals with over 1,500 participants from 62 countries. It is the meeting point for the European radio industry, and a destination for radio people from around the world.

With that said, it is easy to see why the people who had purchased tickets to attend Radiodays Europe 2020 would be happy to learn that the conference will still happen. Hopefully, the risk from the coronavirus will not be something people have to worry about anymore in December of this year.

Radiodays Europe Podcast Day is a satellite event from the team that brings you Radiodays Europe each year. Podcast Day was created in response to the need to bring together the Podcast world in Europe. Radiodays Europe Podcast Day will take place on June 12, 2018, in Copenhagen, Denmark.
