SINGAPORE, Jan. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Asia Podcast Festival returned with a roaring success to close out 2022. More than 150 participants attended the conference, workshops and awards and many more have viewed the content online. The event, which took place from 3-4 December 2022, aimed to elevate the podcast industry by promoting thought leadership, regional collaboration, and content diversity. In its second edition, this was the first time where the Asia Podcast Festival attendees participated in-person at *SCAPE Singapore.

"We started Asia Podcast Festival in the midst of pandemic lockdown so as to provide podcasters with a sense of community and emotional support during tough times. Asia Podcast Festival is a celebration as well as a recognition of podcast excellence in Asia. By bringing together the best in the industry and providing a sandbox for emerging talents to grow and experiment, many conversations were sparked during the event. We were heartened to note how this resulted in the exchange of ideas and the forging of partnerships and friendships." said Jayce Tham, Co-Founder of CreativesAtWork.

Held on 4 December as part of the event closing ceremony. The Asia Podcast Awards 2022 also recognized and awarded the industry's most innovative talents and content creators to cap off the successful event.
