The London Podcast Festival will showcase a diverse range of live podcast shows from 3 to 13 September 2026, both at Kings Place and online.
This year’s programme features live events from established names such as No Such Thing As A Fish, Jameela Jamil’s Wrong Turns, The Empire Film Podcast, and the debut live edition of Drop Us A Line, offering fans the chance to engage directly with their favourite podcasters.
Now in its 11th year, the festival continues to reflect the growth of podcasting as a cultural force, bringing together listeners and creators from across genres including comedy, current affairs, gardening, wrestling, music, disability and deaf-led storytelling, and audio drama.
Rebecca Millican, Head of Artistic Planning at Kings Place, who curates the event said: “Every year the line-up grows more diverse, and that’s exactly the point – there’s a community here for every kind of listener, from longtime fans catching their favourite show to newcomers discovering something for the first time.”
The festival will use all of Kings Place’s spaces, from the main hall to the canal-side terrace, with selected shows available globally via livestream. This approach is to ensure that audiences worldwide can participate, whether in person or online.
The first wave of shows includes The World’s Coolest Disabled with Jordan Jarrett-Bryan, Outsiding with Caitlin Moran and Adam Frost, Chart Music: The TOTP Podcast, Wooden Overcoats, Ade Oladipo Presents… The Green Chair LIVE, Tommy’s Brownload, Why Are You More Successful Than Me? with Richard Bacon, Life After Prison, The Truth (In My Opinion) with Cody Dahler, Ask the Nincompoops, Beef and Dairy Network Podcast, Shaping Tomorrow, Wrestle Me!, Black Prose, and more.
More events will be announced throughout the summer. Full programme details are available at kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on/london-podcast-festival
