PITCH YOUR PODCAST

Think you have the next big podcast idea? Pitch it directly to Dear Media’s presidents at Dear Media By Day.


No application. No deck. No formal presentation. Just you, your idea, and a few minutes to tell us why it needs to exist — and why you’re the person to make it.


Stop by Pitch Your Pod Studio during the event to get in line and make your pitch. If your idea catches our attention, we’ll follow up after the event to continue the conversation.


Your ticket gets you through the door. The rest is your pitch.

EVERYBODY WANTS THIS: FROM BIG IDEA TO BIG BUSINESS

HAVING IT ALL-ISH: CAREER, KIDS & THE NEW REALITY OF BALANCE

5:30 - 6:00pm

WHAT’S NEXT? THE REINVENTION PLAYBOOK

Lauryn + Michael Bosstick with Whitney Wolfe Herd


You’ve built something big. Now what? Let’s talk pivots, taking chances, and figuring out your next chapter—even when you don’t have it all mapped out.
