Kidscreen Summit

Spotify joins our Fireside Chat playlist


We are thrilled to welcome Spotify’s Head of Kids Audio Content, Verdell Walker, to our Fireside Chat series of Q&As exploring new business strategies that are likely to make waves in our industry this year. 

As the pandemic drags on, families around the globe are increasingly tuning into podcasts for a bit of screen-free entertainment. Spotify may be king of the music scene, but it’s just starting to get into podcasting, and Walker has a plan for how to reach kids specifically. Listen up as she lays out her strategy for how the audio giant will grow in this new market, and how kids producers can get involved. 

WarnerMedia’s Tom Ascheim and eOne’s Olivier Dumont are also featured in our Fireside Chat sessions. Sign up now to hear what all three of these change-makers are planning for 2021 and beyond.
