The Muvmnt Studio is set to launch the maiden edition of its podcast festival titled ‘PodFest Naija’.
Podfest Naija, the production firm’s project lead Progress Eyoh said in a statement on Tuesday, plans to spotlight the power of storytelling through podcasts.
Eyoh said the firm has partnered with Eventful, an event management company.
He said the event will bring together storytellers, creators, brands, cultural, and policy leaders for a dynamic experience that celebrates the voices shaping Nigeria’s podcasting community.
It will encourage collaboration among creators, brands, and the storytelling ecosystem.
The event, he added, will foster learning by equipping upcoming storytellers with the tools and insights they need to grow.
With an estimated 2,500 attendees, this inaugural edition will be held on October 10 at Victoria Island in Lagos.
Tosin Adefeko, podfest curator at the production studio, said the show is envisioned to become an annual experience centred on celebration, collaboration, innovation, and learning for the podcast ecosystem.
“Storytelling today is more than a trend. It’s the heartbeat of meaningful communication. At The Muvmnt Studio, it’s the foundation of everything we do. It’s how we connect people, communities, and culture,” Adefeko said.
“As strategic communications consultants, we have always told brand stories, but now, we are intentionally amplifying consumer-led narratives to create deeper, shared connections.
“At our core, we all crave the same things: connection and community. Our stories remind us that we are not alone and that shared experience is what makes humanity stronger. That’s the spirit behind Podfest Naija.”
On his part, Fisayo Beecroft, the managing director of Eventful, said: “For over two decades, we’ve been curating experiences that bring people together in meaningful ways.
“Podfest Naija is a bold new chapter, a fresh kind of gathering that reflects how Nigerians are engaging with stories today. Podcasts are shaping culture in real time, and we’re excited to help create an immersive space where those voices can shine and shape this moment.”
