Reflecting on Podcast Weekend 2026 and PODCAST MIXER 2.0

The afterglow of a wonderful event still lingers.

What I felt after finishing these two events was, above all, the warmth of something like a 'cultural festival for adults.' The venue, converted from school facilities, gave visitors a sense of nostalgia. Yamamoto clearly cherished the opportunity to talk directly with those who visited his show's booth.

Touching on some behind-the-scenes stories from the production side.

At the event, not only the interactions between podcasters but also the warm encouragement from listeners were truly memorable. The conversation also touches on an event that took place at another booth, which Yamamoto reflects on as an 'unexpected development.' You can truly feel how the entire venue was overflowing with love for the culture of podcasting.
