Portraits of professionals - DEPOC project

Through video portraits of professionals, the aim is to identify the professions involved in the creation and broadcasting of podcasts, to discover the many different career paths, to understand the role played by each in podcast production and to question the creative dimension of the different professions in the practice of this format.
