Lagos is set to host the inaugural PodFest Naija, a groundbreaking festival dedicated to the growth of podcasts and the power of storytelling.
Dubbed ‘A Festival of Stories,’ the first-of-its-kind event will take place on October 10 at Harbour Point, Victoria Island.
PodFest Naija is envisioned as an annual convergence point for the nation’s most creative minds.
It aims to bring together top podcast creators, influential policymakers, and forward-thinking brands to explore how stories can shape culture, spark innovation, and forge powerful new collaborations.
The organisers, in a statement released on Wednesday, said the festival will spotlight creativity, foster partnerships, and provide learning opportunities for Nigeria’s growing podcasting ecosystem.
The event will also feature live podcast shows, workshops, masterclasses, panel conversations, and cultural showcases.
A lineup of speakers scheduled to speak at the event include Obi Asika, Chude Jideonwo, Seun Okinbaloye, Tunde Onakoya, Adaora Mbelu, Morayo Afolabi-Brown, Rufai Oseni, and Masoyinbo.
Tosin Adefeko, curator of PodFest Naija and CEO of AT3 Resources, described the festival as a vital cultural movement.
“PodFest Naija is more than an event – it is a movement to amplify the voices that connect us as a people. By convening creators, policymakers, and brands, we are shaping conversations that will influence culture and the future of storytelling in Nigeria,” he said.
Fisayo Beecroft, the managing director of Eventful, added that the event would serve as a platform for discovery and cultural expression.
“PodFest Naija reflects how Nigerians engage with and share stories today. It’s a space for discovery, collaboration, and cultural expression – and we’re proud to help bring it to life,” Beecroft said.
The event is sponsored by Coca-Cola, The Place, Crown Flour Mills, Sterling Bank, UAC Foods, Beloxxi and Post Assurance, alongside media partners including News Central TV, Megalectrics, TheCable, Cueball Communications, Aster Media and DLC Media.
