BlastCast! Podcast Festival held in Warsaw

The inaugural BlastCast! Podcast Festival took place on October 9 and 10 at the Norblin Factory in Warsaw. The event featured various creators, journalists, and public figures participating in discussions and panels.

During the festival, Kuba Wojewódzki announced the launch of his new podcast, titled ‘WojewódzkiWojewódzki’, which is set to debut on Mondays starting October 12.

Jarosław Kuźniar, head of Voice House, discussed the evolving landscape of journalism during a session at the festival. He noted that in an era of information overload, the value of media lies in the ability to synthesize and explain complex events rather than just reporting them. Kuźniar suggested that premium, in-depth journalism can coexist with social media by using short visual formats as tools to drive audiences toward longer, substantive content.
