9 Podcast Experts Share Their Insights on the Industry

If you’ve been following me a while, you may or may not know that I also co-host a podcast called In & Around Podcasting, with my friend and colleague from Captivate, Mark Asquith.

This show is markedly different from other “podcasts about podcasting” in that, where those shows can often take a view from the top approach, In & Around Podcasting is for everyone and anyone, from industry insiders to indie podcasters like you and me. As the show’s description states,

In & Around Podcasting has been designed to respect and live alongside those shows and to be an accessible, inclusive podcast for every single podcaster; a show that allows everyone with an interest in the medium to have a fair, open and transparent view on the podcasting industry and how it affects them.

So, it definitely ties into the manta of this publication/newsletter in helping you be a better podcaster. As part of that, I wanted to share the latest episode with you, which is a recap of the first couple of months of the show. It features snippets from some of our guests so far, and their take on some of the key news and trends in podcasting.

You can listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify below, or online here, and the topics of each soundbite are also below.

Enjoy!
