Evolution and Impact of Micro-Pods

The podcasting landscape is evolving - and micro-casts (podcasts under 10 minutes) are leading the charge as both an accessible entry point for new creators and an innovative format pushing the industry forward. This dynamic discussion explores how bite-sized audio is removing barriers to entry while simultaneously creating new opportunities for established creators and advertisers alike.
We'll examine how micro-casts are:
• Democratizing podcasting by making content creation feel approachable
• Capturing shrinking attention spans with snackable, high-impact storytelling
• Serving as testing grounds for new voices and experimental formats
• Complementing (not replacing) traditional long-form podcasts in listeners' habits
• Opening new monetization avenues through platform partnerships and innovative ad products
