Note: our training focuses on the speech and content elements of a podcast, rather than the technical side of production.
There’s no doubt that owning your own media output is a very effective way to engage and build relationships with your customers... but how do you do it well?
That’s where the guidance of our experienced broadcast media trainers comes in: they have spent literally thousands of hours behind microphones.
Our podcast skills training arms you with the inside track on podcasting with many top tips from our specialists, like how using a ‘show clock’ can transform your broadcast, using show notes, and how to use graphics to sell your show.
When you complete your training session you’ll know exactly what makes a great audio podcast, have clear objectives, and know the steps to take to create a powerful series of episodes.
You’ll also get plenty of hands-on presenting practice, so you’ll gain invaluable confidence and experience from the session.
We create bespoke training to meet your challenges: we’ll discuss your needs and agree the exact content and approach in advance.

To make the most of the training, each of our delegates does some simple preparation beforehand. As well as coming ready to discuss a topic of your choice, you’ll be asked to bring examples of podcasts you like, so we can discuss and learn from them.
Your podcast skills training will be led by Claire Jaggard and James McDonald. Both are experienced journalists in print, online and broadcast media, as well as being empathetic trainers: they’ll quickly put you at ease and help you banish any fears you may have around being behind a microphone!
