The live event featured notable Bravo podcast shows including The Bravo Docket, Morgan Pop Talks, No Filter with Zack Peter, Riccio Recaps, Gabbing with Gib, and more, showcasing the strength and engagement of Bravo’s creator-driven audience.
The event comes on the heels of an immense year of growth for Podcast Nation, which added over 16 new shows to its roster in 2025 and has committed to doubling down on in-person activations looking into 2026.
But will 2026 see a renewed appetite for audiences and creators to gather in person?
“With so much uncertainty in market trends next year, one thing is clear: we’re seeing a real desire for fans and creators to gather in person again,” says Libby Absten, Director of Strategic Growth and Partnerships at Podcast Nation.
“As we look toward 2026, our team will be honing in on live events and in-person activations. Meaningful connection is at the heart of what we do–internally in how we operate as a business, and externally with our partners and audiences.
As the creator industry becomes more saturated, carving out meaningful space for already engaged audiences will be more important than ever. Our plan is to do this strategically, thoughtfully, and where it matters most for our network and our shows.”
