This blog will cover the many benefits of collaborative podcast events, and why Podathon by Pod24 is such an exciting and important occasion for Abu Dhabi’s creative community.

Collaborations and connections

Being a podcaster or content creator is often a solo role, and it can often cause professionals to miss out on the camaraderie of working as a team.

But podcast events such as Podathon by Pod24 are designed to bring podcasters together and encourage collaboration. Available both in person and virtually, they allow creators to connect with others in their field, learn from them, share ideas, and come away with new friends and business connections.

For example, Podathon by Pod24, will be attended by local storytellers, hosts and content creators from across every field and specialism.

All attendees will be tasked with creating content around a special surprise theme, providing ample opportunities to network and form collaborative bonds with other Abu Dhabi residents in the same industry, all while experimenting with their own podcast setup and creative process.

Rapid production practice

Podathons often require attendees to create a large amount of content very rapidly.

This is a great exercise in accelerated ideation, and it can help content creators learn how to think on their feet, come up with ideas quickly, and create content in an efficient manner.

For example, some podathons can include all-day live streams, or involve creating daily podcasts for an entire week in just one session.

Knowledge sharing and learning

Engaging with, and working alongside other storytellers and hosts, allows creatives to gain new knowledge and skills.

With every attendee bringing different preferred techniques, areas of expertise, and perspectives to the table, participants walk away with a more thorough and well-rounded skill set, and information that they can use to drive forward their own projects.

Engaging with other leading content creators at podcast events is also a great way of staying ahead of any new and emerging trends, and ensuring that your content is still relevant to your target audience.

Multi-format storytelling

Working out of your comfort zone in a collaborative podcast setting encourages experimentation, and prompts content creators to try new formats and ways of storytelling.

Seeing how other creatives work can motivate attendees to explore different techniques, while having access to state-of-the-art equipment and tools (such as the portable podcast studios at twofour54), also opens up new possibilities as well.

Professional ecosystem and facilities

Podcast events invite creators to have a go at using the latest technologies in podcast production, and discover state-of-the-art equipment that is likely to be far more advanced than the facilities they have in their own studio.

For example, Podathon by Pod24 provides attendees with free access to twofour54’s world-class Pod24 portable podcast studios.
