PJ Vogt
PJ Vogt (Reply All) shot to podcasting fame last year. But behind his recent success, Vogt has been deeply involved with the craft of storytelling – and some of its most celebrated institutions.
Reply All is a show about people, technology and the internet, produced by Vogt and co-host Alex Goldman, with whom he also made the podcast TLDR (for WNYC’s On The Media). Since its November 2014 debut, the show has covered internet shaming, One Direction relationship truthers, time-travelling hitmen and the inventor of the pop-up ad. Vogt’s work has also appeared on This American Life and NPR’s All Things Considered.
The show is produced in New York at Gimlet Media – a for-profit podcast network founded by former This American Life and Planet Money producer Alex Blumberg. Joined by Ben Birchall (Ingredipedia podcast), he’ll talk about the new wave of American audio storytelling as he sees it – from the dark corners of the internet to the shadowy truths of the world.
Presented in partnership with Sydney Writers Festival.
(Note: We’re sorry to tell you that Starlee Kine, originally billed as part of this event, has been delayed in America – and is thus unable to attend.)
