Podcast Lab is both a one-time free one day event on 6 February in Brussels AND a group training orgs can book. It is an exploration with the EU bubble policy comms community of how we can build strategy-led podcasts that become must-listens in the right (policy micro-communities).

This page covers the free event in detail, head to this page for more details on how the group training takes orgs from podcast concept to self-produced pilot episode in three days.
