Perfect for podcasters, producers, and audio storytellers of all levels.
In this 60-minute session, Andrew Spence will break down the core elements of powerful podcast storytelling, from identifying your unique voice to structuring episodes that captivate from the first second to the last. Drawing on his experience as an award-winning producer, executive producer, and podcast strategist, Andrew will share practical tools and creative techniques to elevate your content.
Expect real-world examples, behind-the-scenes insights, and a deep dive into what makes stories resonate and stick with audiences long after they’ve stopped listening. Whether you’re building a new podcast from scratch or refining an existing one, this session will offer ideas you can apply immediately, from guest selection and scripting, to narrative pacing, tone, and sound design.
There will also be an open Q&A, giving you the chance to ask specific questions about your podcast, challenges you’re facing, or to hear more narrative tips and stories from Andrew’s experience.
This is a must-attend for podcasters, producers, creatives, and anyone looking to tell better stories in audio.
