James Marriott with me at Sheffield Live’s studio
James Marriott drinks beer, watches football and discusses both on his popular podcasts.
He loves listening to other people’s podcasts too.
And all this is (part of) how he makes a living.
With two decades’ experience in media, including 15 in commercial radio and 4 in newspaper journalism, James now specialises in podcasting and mentors new and existing podcasters along their path to success.
In this episode James gives exceptional advice:
- why people love podcasts (and still love the radio),
- his career path from journalist to radio station manager to podcaster,
- what you must think about if you want to launch your own podcast,
- how to stand out in your area and produce a podcast people enjoy,
- editing and hosting,
- his own process of supporting podcasters,
- how to avoid common mistakes and problems.
He also describes a diverse array of podcasts he loves and has tips to follow if you’re being interviewed on a podcast or the radio – or if you’re interviewing anyone.
Enjoy the episode: James really knows his onions and cares about making great quality content (and helping other folk do it too).
