Podcast Pitch

The podcast pitch brings together six in-development non-fiction audio creators to pitch in front of a selection of industry experts and commissioners. An independent jury will award a first prize (£5000) and second prize (£2000) to the most creative and promising pitches, funded by the Whickers foundation. Come and snoop out this first time, audio-only pitch format at Sheffield DocFest.

Panellists: Leanne Alie (Podcast Commissioner and Developer of New Podcasts and New Talent at BBC Sounds), Hugh Levinson (Commissioning Editor at BBC Radio 4) and Lucy Taylor (investigative journalist, founder of Smoke Trail productions and creator of the BBC Radio 4 podcast Buried).
