About the Program

Although podcast technology debuted during the early aughts, the format’s first breakout hit didn’t occur until the 2014 arrival of true-crime drama “Serial” Season 1, which subsequently inspired an HBO documentary series. During the last several years, Amazon and Bravo have enjoyed success with podcast-based scripted dramas “Homecoming” and “Dirty John” respectively. The entertainment industry practice of using podcasts as source material for derivative works has become increasingly common. Our esteemed panel will discuss the trends, issues and contractual pain points in creating podcast adaptations for other media such as television, film and documentaries (and vice versa).
