It’s run by audio geeks and podcast (and radio) experts Vic Turnbull, Kate Cocker and Ant McGinley, and features a long and storied list of experts about all things podcast.

Whether you’re just starting out or an experienced podcaster and want to discover how to take your podcast to the next level, Pods Up North is designed to be a valuable resource for anyone looking to create the best podcast they can.

Attendees will meet fellow podcast creators and learn how to start, grow and sustain a podcast with plenty of other like-minded podcasters from the North. It’s held on Saturday 23rd November at Federation House in the centre of Manchester.
