Hello again!
Thank you to everyone who joined us last week for Evolutions! From inspiring keynotes to packed breakout sessions, lively networking events, and unforgettable moments on and off the stage, this year’s event was one for the books. We’re still buzzing from the energy, ideas, and connections that filled the halls all week long.
We’ve got a few important updates and follow-ups to share with you now that the dust has settled—so whether you were there in person or cheering us on from afar, read on for what’s next!
EVENT NEWS
That’s a Wrap on Evolutions 2025!
What an unforgettable week in Chicago! Evolutions 2025 brought together thousands of podcasters, creators, and industry pros for three days of learning, connection, and inspiration.
If you’ve not see our recap video above yet, it will give you a taste of what went down over our four days together. Our IG stories also have some great highlights from a different perspective.
We kicked things off with Pulitzer Prize-winner Ronan Farrow and closed strong with The Fantasy Footballers, whose journey from indie creators to cross-platform powerhouses left us fired up for what’s possible in podcasting. In between, keynotes like “Niche to Mainstream,” “What’s a Podcast?” with Dan Granger, and Tom Webster’s latest research gave us fresh insights into the evolving media landscape.
We explored the rise of video podcasting, took in the always-anticipated Podnews Report Card with James Cridland, and came together for unforgettable nights at SPIN Chicago and Reggies.
But as great as watching videos and seeing photos are, nothing compares to experiencing Podcast Movement live and in person. The good news? We’ll be back together again soon!
📍 Podcast Movement 2025 is headed to Dallas, TX this August 18–21, and tickets are officially on sale! Whether you’re focused on content creation, the business of podcasting, or industry innovation, PM25 will have something for everyone.
We hope to see you this summer in Dallas!
