PODCASTING
Long Play: Building Real Audiences in a Short-Form World
Description: TikTok told us attention spans were dead. Podcasting proved otherwise. In an era of 15-second clips and algorithmic feeds, a growing movement of artists, labels and music media is betting big on long-form - and winning.
As music culture fragments across platforms chasing the next scroll, intimate, unfiltered conversation has quietly become one of the most powerful tools for building the kind of trust, community and longevity that no viral moment can replicate.
Featuring Anja Schneider's perspective from the heart of Berlin's electronic music scene, the House Culture media insight of Matt Rouse, and the content craft of Christabel Heasman-Cossins and Chris Bailey (The Boy In The Corner) - moderated by broadcaster, producer and OpenDAW founder Lex Luca - this panel gets into the craft, strategy and real talk behind making content that actually matters.
