PodFest Berlin is the city’s first homegrown podcasting festival. Founder Daniel Stern says that “Berlin is home to more podcasts than ever, but the people making them seldom cross paths. Podcasting is often done in relative isolation; I wanted to gather everyone under one roof and celebrate all that we have achieved.”
Live and In Person Podcasting is a medium made and consumed in isolation, yet creates a sense of intimacy between loyal listeners and dedicated creators. PodFest Berlin’s live recordings change that ironic dynamic. It is an exciting opportunity for Berlin audiences and podcasters to connect in person. “We’re a community who wants to connect, amplify each other and find ways to collaborate.” Says Daniel Stern, “I also started PodFest Berlin in order for podcast fans and creators to be in the same place at the same time. It’s wonderful and rare for most podcast hosts to see the appreciation of their audiences in person” PodFest Berlin was founded in 2021.The first PodFest Berlin set a table for Berlin’s diverse podcast community and in its second year is adding more seats around that table.
