PMx consists of a suite of short (18 minute) carefully prepared talks, demonstrations and performances that are idea-focused, and that cover a wide range of subjects to foster learning, inspiration and wonder – and provoke conversations that matter. Multiple issues and a diversity of voices from many podcasting perspectives and niches will be presented. PMx lacks any commercial agenda and is not a marketing conference.

Podcast Movement 2016 Adds Speakers from Startup, Criminal, and The Sporkful

Podcast Movement 2016 logoIt is kind of exciting to watch Podcast Movement 2016 slowly announce more speakers. It feels as though they have new podcasters to announce every week. Some are keynote speakers, others are additional speakers, and some are podcasters who are involved with business topics. Podcast Movement 2016 certainly isn’t slowing down as we get closer to the days the event will take place!

Podcast Movement 2016 will happen in Chicago on July 6-8, 2016. Earlier this month, they announced that Alex Blumberg will be a keynote speaker for this year’s event. Alex Blumberg has had a long career in public radio as a former producer of This American Life and co-founder of Planet Money.

In addition, Alex Blumberg helped co-found Gimlet Media which is a for-profit podcast network. The first show produced by Gimlet was Startup. The first season of Startup focused on what it is really like to get a business off the ground (that business being Gimlet Media). Startup is now in Season 2, which focuses on a business called Dating Ring. It is founded by two women in their 20’s who are outsiders in the male-dominated world of Silicon Valley.

This week, Podcast Movement 2016 announced a plethora of interesting speakers that you can see at the event. Two of them are from the Criminal podcast. Criminal is a podcast about crime. Phoebe Judge is the host of Criminal (and also a host at WUNC North Carolina Public Radio.) Lauren Spohrer was a producer, director, and editor for The Story with Dick Gordon. She also runs the online literary magazine Two Serious Ladies.

Dan Pashman is the creator and host of WNYC’s The Sporkful podcast. It is an award nominated food podcast where Dan and his guests obsess over the details of eating to uncover truths about food – and people. The Sporkful isn’t a podcast for foodies, it is a podcast for eaters. Dan Pashman is also the host of the Cooking Channel’s James Beard award nominated web series You’re Eating It Wrong. Dan Pashman will be a speaker at Podcast Movement 2016.

Podcast Movement 2016 will be announcing more speakers each Monday between now and when the event takes place. They will also be giving details about some panels that will take place at the event.

Podcast Movement 2016 logoPodcast Movement 2016 will take place in Chicago, Illinois, on July 6-8, 2016. The event is for anyone who is interested in podcasting. Seasoned podcasters and those who are considering getting into podcasting for the very first time are welcome. There will be plenty of speakers to listen to – and more have just been added.

Attendees of Podcast Movement 2016 will have the opportunity to participate in their choice of over 75 breakout sessions and panels, including sessions on the Technical Track, Creators Track, Business Track, Industry Track, and more. Keynote speakers will kick off and close out each day.

Podcast Movement 2016 recently announced that two of the world’s best story-telling podcasters will be at the event. Glynn Washington is the host and executive producer of Snap Judgment (which is part of WNYC Studios). The podcast is described as “Storytelling, with a BEAT”. It dares listeners to see the world through the eyes of another.

Before creating the Snap Judgement Radio Show, Glynn Washington worked as an educator, diplomat, community activist, actor, political strategist and more. He has composed music for Kunst Stoff dance performances in San Francisco, and performed live spoken word poetry in Detroit.

Aaron Manke is the creator, writer, and producer of the hit podcast Lore. It is an award-winning, critically acclaimed podcast about true life scary stories. Each episode of Lore looks into a uniquely scary tale and uncovers the truth behind it. Aaron Manke is also the author of a number of supernatural thrillers, including Indian Summer, Consumed, and Grave Suspicion.

In addition to these two amazing storytellers, Podcast Movement 2016 has also announced that Dan Miller will be there. He is an author, magazine contributor, and host of the 48 Days podcast. Dan Miller specializes in creative thinking for increased personal and business success.

WBEZ will be at Podcast Movement 2016

~ jen

Podcast Movement 2016 logoPodcast Movement 2016 will take place in Chicago. It seems very fitting that three of Chicago’s own WBEZ podcasts will be at this year’s Podcast Movement. They are the most recent additions to the lineup of speakers who will be part of the event.

Podcast Movement is the premier international gathering of podcasters. It happens in a different location each year. According to the Podcast Movement website, Chicago is one of the best podcast cities in the world. They feel that much of the credit for turning the city into one of the preeminent locations for podcasting can be given to WBEZ.

WBEZ has added a number of niche and pop-culture podcasts to their family of digital shows. This American Life leads the pack of the world’s most popular podcasts, drawing nearly 3.5 listens a month. WBEZ’s podcast umbrella also includes Sound Opinions, where WBEZ’s Rock Doctors hold court on everything musical, and Filmspotting, a unique film review show.

Podcast Movement 2016 has been slowly revealing the speakers and panelists that will be at the event. They are planning on having more than 100 of them. The exact schedule of when each will speak has yet to be released. What is clear is that Podcast Movement 2016 will take place on July 6-8, 2016.

Three WBEZ podcasts, and their hosts, have been added to the list of speakers. Shannon Cason is the host of Homemade Stories. He is a powerful voice in the storytelling front, and a Moth GrandSLAM winner. In the podcast, he lays out his life for the listener, blemishes and all. Some stories are insightful and true, and others are works of fiction.

Keith Ecker and Erin Kahoa are hosts of Pleasure Town. It is a serial podcast about the people who live in PleasureTown, Oklahoma, as told by a mix of eclectic residents. The podcast is a mix of old-time radio show and dark contemporary drama.

Tricia Bobeda and Greta Johnson are the hosts of Nerdette. It is a show where they talk to people about their obsessions, from science to science fiction, great lady nerds of history, to Beyonce. Their podcast can be summed up as: “It’s not about what you love. It’s about how much you love it.”

We will have to wait and see who is announced.

The two newest additions to the Podcast Movement 2016 list of speakers are Heben Nigatu and Tracy Clayton. They are the hosts of the Another Round podcast.

You might also recognize Heben Nigatu and Tracy Clayton from the Podcast Movement 2015 Session that they led. It was featured on the Podcast Movement: Sessions podcast. The title of their session was “How to Diversify”.
