Revealed: Podcast Movement NYC

Exclusive: Podcast Movement in New York will be part of an ambitious, week-long event in mid-September, Podnews can reveal today. The venue will be Terminal 5, an iconic venue in New York City’s Hell's Kitchen district. We’ve all the details.

The event will take place September 14-18, with two days of The Sounds Profitable Business Summit (Sep 14/15), a mid-week pause for the IAB Upfronts, and Podcast Movement (Sep 17/18). Parties and other social experiences are all planned, including a party on Sep 16.
"This isn’t a venue change. It’s a statement. Podcasting has gone from underestimated to unavoidable, and when the right crowd gets together, the energy is real,” said Bryan Barletta, President of Podcast Movement and founder of Sounds Profitable.
Opinion: It’s a new look for the popular event - away from a conference hotel with its swirly carpets, inconvenient fire alarms and captive dining options, and in a new venue with a new focus, right in the middle of a city where media, technology and creators rub shoulders every day. This is a welcome change, which injects new energy into Podcast Movement, and allows attendees of either event to make a New York weekend of things (and to stay where they want, thanks to New York’s transport options). And last year, that week was around 70ºF... and no snow.

Podpage has launched a brand new feature - migration of your Wordpress website into the service. Blog posts, pages, redirects and SEO metadata are all carried over - the endless maintenance and insecure plugins are not. One good example website is one of our long-time supporters, The School of Podcasting.

Magellan AI has launched “The Podscape 2026”. In order to get it, you’ll need to sign-up; but it is a good overview of the industry to put on the wall. We should mention that Podnews has our own Directory, which is updated every few days, and contains news articles about each company mentioned.
