PodFest North lands in Liverpool this November — a new £50 podcasting conference for creators

Podcasting keeps growing — over a quarter of UK adults now listen weekly — and the North is finally getting its own dedicated creator conference for the medium.

What it is
PodFest North is a brand-new one-day podcasting conference bringing together podcasters, producers, creators, brands and people thinking about starting a show. It’s supported by Audio UK and features speakers from the BBC, The Anfield Wrap, Liverpool Hope University and more.

Who it’s for
• Existing podcasters wanting to level up their show
• Producers and audio creatives looking to meet collaborators in the Northern audio community
• Brands and businesses wondering whether podcasts can build authority and community
• Anyone podcast-curious who wants practical advice from people who’ve done it

The details
• When: Friday 13 November 2026, 9:30am–4:30pm
