Your content idea
How to record
What platforms are worth the money
How to get your show to all the listening apps
What you need to know to futureproof your show
How to make transcripts and chapters
. . . and more.

I've just finished my 'Podcast Start-up Sanity Check' with Claire Waite Brown. Not being very tech-savvy, I started with trepidation and an hour later, I am all guns blazing with confidence! Claire is great at de-mystifying the podcast world. Her enthusiasm is infectious, and unlike many experts, she is great at dropping the jargon and explaining things so that even I could understand.

I had one of Claire's 1 hour podcasting chats, and it was so useful. She knows so much about starting a podcast - we discussed editing, hosting, marketing and networking and she gave me all sorts of tips and suggestions. If you're thinking of starting a podcast, book a podcasting chat!

Had a fantastic “what to think about before you embark on a podcasting journey” type of mentoring session with Claire. Super tips and guidance about things I’d never have thought of or even known I needed to think of. I’m inspired to explore more, using the links and follow up details Claire gave me. Would definitely encourage anyone else thinking of starting a podcast to sign up for a friendly, mentoring-style reality check with Claire!!

My Podcasting Experience
I have been podcasting for five 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 Podcasting 2.0 in Practice, a podcast course that teaches other podcasters and listeners how to benefit from and implement the latest Podcasting 2.0 technologies.
I am an advisor for modern podcast app TrueFans, and co-host and producer on their in-house podcasts, Creators from TrueFans and Fanzone from TrueFans.

Claire gave a brilliant talk on Podcasting 2.0 for our podcasting community, MIC's Podcast Club. The talk was really useful, informative and best of all, easy to understand. Claire is a fantastic speaker and you should definitely check out both of her podcast, Creativity Found and Podcasting 2.0 in Practice.
