"Union Power: Collective Bargaining in Podcasting," moderated by SIMPLECAST Dir. of Partnerships DANE CARDIEL and featuring STORYCORPS' AFI YELLOW-DUKE, the WRITERS GUILD OF AMERICA, EAST's MOLLY KATCHPOLE, GIMLET MEDIA "THE NOD" and "MOGUL" co-host ERIC EDDINGS, and audio engineer GAUTAM SRIKISHAN (APRIL 18th, 7-8:30p (ET)).  Tickets

“We really want to explore how systems of power and capital and technology control whose voices get heard and whose don’t,” said SCHWARTZ. “I’m hoping this event series gives people a space to discuss something of the biggest issues in the podcast space right now -- questions of funding and labor and intellectual property. Things are changing quickly, and this could be a time for content creators to come together and shape the future of podcasting.”
