Podcast Producers share experiences to help everyone start their own podcast, and keep going.

This is the chat which kick started the Podcast Producers Podcast:
Stuart Thomas, Head of Programmes BBC England, with his insight on launching a podcast at the BBC - MULTI STORY.

"A collection of surprising stories from around the country, presented and produced by Becca Bryers."
MULTI STORY link here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p06m8h7g

This was a chat over a coffee that didn't stop, so I asked Stuart if it would be okay to record our chat on my phone. I'm sorry about the sound quality, but I wanted to share this to help you get your podcast started too.

In this episode, (which you can also watch here on YouTube) Stuart talks us through
- the number of levels on which a podcast title has to work (as a spoken phrase... text in a logo... as a URL... as something descriptive but unique and which hasn't already been taken...)
- titling podcast episodes
- and some of the decisions made during the editing process.
What length should a podcast be?

He also talks about the podcast production landscape, and some of his favourite podcast series.

Here's the article I mention: 12% of podcasts don't get past the first episode

Please leave a comment to say hi -- it would be great to hear from anyone watching this! Also if you have any questions, I'd be happy to help.
