The rise of podcasts in recent years has led to the exploration of new narratives and formats. There are more and more podcasts with a large fanbase and they take advantage of this by involving their audience and making them part of their recordings.  Involving the audience in a podcast makes it unique and unpredictable. Therefore, producing this kind of podcasts is not an easy task. To further explore this issue, Javi Caminero is joined by Fanny Cohen Moreau, journalist and podcast producer. Learn more about Fanny’s recommendation:
