Thousands of PBS supporters, curious minds, and emerging thought leaders have enjoyed hundreds of engaging sessions featuring politicians from across the aisle, celebrated authors, and iconic figures. Now in its ninth year, the Ideas Festival has become a can't-miss annual event where people come together to explore the issues shaping our world.
Each year, some of the most celebrated voices in podcasting and media make their way to Seattle to record live at the festival — productions from The Atlantic, The New Yorker, NPR, PBS, CNN, Vox, The Wall Street Journal, Slate, Pushkin, Spotify, and beyond. The festival has welcomed live editions of Fresh Air, Radiolab, Revisionist History, Criminal, On the Media, The Political Scene, What a Day, The Gist, Amicus, The Weeds, Open to Debate, Decoder, Radio Atlantic, One Thing, Text Me Back, The Journal, Critics at Large, A Word, Good on Paper, Seattle Now, Your Last Meal, What Next, and more

After Show Meetups invite guests to connect, and find community with fellow attendees. Food trucks, interactive installations, a happy hour, music and a live DJ round out the experience — making the Ideas Festival as much a celebration as it is a conversation.
