Docs Ireland is delighted to centre the art of audio-making as a focal point of our industry programme for 2026. Audio can provide a dynamic medium for projecting reality and cogent non-fiction narratives, with endless possibilities for creative expression and telling compelling stories via aural interpretation.

This event will analyse audio outlets through panel discussions and case studies with renowned audio makers and commissioners, including a focus on award-winning podcasts Where is George Gibney? and Stakeknife, BBC Radio Ulster’s popular and prolific Assume Nothing series, as well as London’s renowned creative audio production house Falling Tree.
