I have been podcasting for four years and learnt from the ground up. In that time I have won and been shortlisted for prestigious podcast awards, been a guest on other people's shows, attended many podcast-specific conferences in the UK and US, and had the privilege of talking to industry experts for a podcast course that teaches other podcasters and listeners how to benefit from and implement the latest Podcasting 2.0 technologies.
Please note, I will NOT tell you how to have a chart-topping show in your first week, nor how to pitch to sponsors.
I will act as a mentor whom you can run your ideas and questions past. The decisions you make with the knowledge you gain are all your own.
