Radio day program

Tempo and Sveriges Radio invite, for a second year in a row, to a day entirely dedicated to documentary sound storytelling! The day is aimed at documentary makers across all genres who are curious about audio storytelling – both experienced and inexperienced – and who want to meet new and old colleagues.

Join us in the studio as documentary makers talk about their projects, and listen to a panel discussion offering insights into the future of the podcast market in economically turbulent times.

During the afternoon, you have the opportunity to speed-date some of the country’s most qualified documentary producers. A unique chance to brainstorm and spin ideas for future projects, completely without assumptions.

We raise the excitement with a thrilling pitch competition for audio documentaries.

Finally, we conclude the day with the striking combination of a cold drink, snacks, and P3 quiz!
