Show Highlights:
  • You should never set out to make a podcast with the idea of, I've got this thing to say, I need everyone to know about it. It should be how is what I've got to say, going to be useful and beneficial and interesting to that audience and how can I deliver it in a way that they're going to enjoy it? 

  • And I guess if you're an independent podcaster who wants to set up a podcast again, think about who it is that you want to reach and what's lacking for them.

  • The great thing about podcasts, and as everyone says is it's a low barrier to entry and everyone can try it out. But I think a podcast can really benefit from, experience

  • Audio has this very unfakeable element that you can't fake a human conversation. 

  • But what I think the BBC has a huge organization and it's like turning a ship around to try and sort of change the way that they do anything but they've taken what they do really well in making radio.
