Why are podcasts so “IN“?

Their popularity is growing by the day, and more and more local creators are choosing this format.

According to the latest research, the number of global podcast listeners (and viewers) is expected to reach approximately 504.9 million by the end of 2024. The panel “Podcasts Starter Pack” will answer questions like why everyone wants their own podcast, or at least to be a guest on one, and what it takes to achieve good listenership and viewership.

This year’s Weekend.17 will feature top podcast professionals who are now proud hosts and founders of some of the most-watched and listened-to Croatian podcasts:

Ana Radišić, TV host, editor, creative producer, and founder of the Ana Radišić Podcast,

Danijel Matkov, co-founder of Podcast 3Soma, currently the most-watched Croatian podcast on TikTok,

Vinko Mihaljević, founder of the LOOD brand and host of the podcast of the same name,

Ratko Martinović, one of the founders of Podcast Inkubator.

The panel will be moderated by Roko Kalafatić, a business journalist and former radio announcer who currently works as the project leader for Lider Podcast, Croatia’s leading business podcast under Lider Media.
