About RESONATE: Pangea
This year’s theme for RESONATE is all about storytelling across borders and tuning in to new frequencies. This year’s presenters will dive deep into different storytelling traditions, bilingual audio, and stories of migration, history, and identity.

About RESONATE:

RESONATE Podcast Festival is the place where producers meet their peers and newcomers meet their heroes. Over two days at the Institute for Contemporary Art in Richmond, VA, attendees will be treated to workshops from skilled producers, a special live performance, and the opportunity to get private pitch feedback from industry veterans. Between sessions, you will enjoy snacks, visit our cafe, see our art exhibitions, and converse with people who love podcasts as much as you do.

RESONATE Podcast Festival is a production of the VPM + ICA Community Media Center.
