Welcome to the first of three special episodes recorded at the 5th annual Los Angeles Podcast Festival, which took place at the Sofitel hotel in Beverly Hills, CA, Sept. 23-25, 2016. This was our second year at the festival and it was just as amazing and wildly exciting as last year. The Podcast Lab continues to be a space filled with camaraderie, deeply interesting conversations, and unbelievable collaboration. Whether you are a podcaster or a podcast fan, we urge you to make your plans now for next year's L.A. Podcast Festival. Don't miss this terrific event!
