Is 2024 the Podcast and Content Creator election?

Description:

Podcasts are more popular than ever–with politicians and candidates increasingly turning to them to get their message out and connect with potential voters. 2024 presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy even went so far as to launch a daily podcast for his campaign. As trust in traditional news declines, will voters turn to podcasts and content creators to help them figure out who to vote for? And as celebrities become increasingly unafraid to get political (hello, Taylor Swift!), how do they bridge the gap between these platforms and civic engagement? This panel will address all that and more.
