Jacobs Media and the organizers of the Podcast Movement conference announced Tuesday an expansion of their relationship with the third year of Jacobs Media's "Broadcasters Meet Podcasters." Jacobs Media will be developing two and a half days of sessions designed to bring broadcasters and podcasters together. Sessions and presenters will cover all aspects of podcasting and attendees will gain insights into the current state of podcasting and the opportunities that lie ahead.

"Three years ago when we hosted our first 'Broadcasters Meet Podcasters' event, attendance was nice but the broadcasters were there just to see what it was all about," remarked Jacobs Media's President Fred Jacobs. "The past year was a watershed year as broadcasters have gotten serious about podcasting. Major acquisitions, partnerships, mergers, new content, and emerging stars are part of the conversation. So, Jacobs Media's ‘Broadcasters Meet Podcasters' is expanding to keep pace."

Podcast Movement Co-Founder/Organizer Dan Franks added, "One of the most exciting things to come out of the past two Podcast Movements has been our growing relationship with the radio industry. By partnering each of those years with Jacobs, we've not only been partnering with some of the most well-respected people in radio, but also have been able to feature what we think is the world's best podcasting education to radio professionals. We're thrilled to continue our collaboration with Jacobs Media at Podcast Movement 2019."

Jacobs Media's Digital Dot Connector Seth Resler has been involved in podcasting for eight years. "We've seen the rise of on-demand video disrupt our colleagues in the television space. That's why we think it's crucial for radio broadcasters to stay on top of what's happening in the on-demand audio space by attending events like Podcast Movement," said Resler.

Jacobs Media has collaborated with Podcast Movement to provide a discount on registrations for broadcasters. Any broadcaster who wants to attend should use the code: RADIOPRO and will receive $50 off their registration fee. The 2019 Podcast Movement will take place in Orlando on August 13-16 at the Rosen Shingle Creek Resort. More information can be found at jacobsmedia.com/podcast-movement-2019/.
