Firm To Launch PodFest Naija

The Muvmnt Studio, a storytelling powerhouse that connects people, communities, and culture through podcasts, is set to launch PodFest Naija.

The programme is a festival of stories, with Eventful as the official event partner. This first-of-its-kind event is envisioned to become an annual vibrant experience centred on celebration, collaboration, innovation, and learning for the podcast ecosystem.

Podfest Naija is a creative melting pot designed to spotlight the power of storytelling through podcasts. The event will bring together storytellers, creators, brands, cultural & policy leaders for a dynamic experience designed to celebrate the voices shaping Nigeria’s podcasting community; enable collaboration by bringing together creators, brands, and the broader storytelling ecosystem; spark innovation through conversations on future trends and evolving audience behaviours; and foster learning by equipping upcoming storytellers with the tools and insights they need to grow. With an estimated 2,500 attendees, this inaugural edition will be held on Friday, October 10, at Harbour Point, 4 Wilmot Point Rd, Victoria Island, Lagos.

A statement issued by the project lead, Podfest Naija, Progress Eyoh, said, “Storytelling today is more than a trend — it’s the heartbeat of meaningful communication. At The Muvmnt Studio, it’s the foundation of everything we do. It’s how we connect people, communities, and culture. As strategic communications consultants, we have always told brand stories, but now, we are intentionally amplifying consumer-led narratives to create deeper, shared connections. At our core, we all crave the same things: connection and community.

Our stories remind us that we are not alone — and that shared experience strengthens humanity. That’s the spirit behind Podfest Naija.” — Tosin Adefeko, Curator, Podfest Naija & chief executive officer, AT3 Resources – The Muvmnt Agency.

Podfest Naija signals to the industry that podcasting in Nigeria is not just alive; it’s thriving. It’s a statement that these voices, these stories, and this community deserve to be seen, heard, and invested in.
