Thinking about starting a podcast, but not sure where to begin?
My talk, A Beginner’s Guide to Podcasting, is a relaxed, practical introduction to turning an idea into something people can actually listen to. Having produced independent audio for years and developed world-first formats for audio and online projects, I walk you through the full process step by step. We will cover finding a clear format, recording your first episode, basic editing, hosting, and getting your show onto platforms such as Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
I show how much you can achieve using equipment you likely already own, and why a strong concept matters far more than an expensive studio setup. With straightforward examples and down-to-earth advice, this session strips away the technical jargon to leave you with the confidence and practical knowledge to get started.
Suitable for complete beginners. No technical experience needed.
Views: 8 | Enquiries: 0Hello! I am an arts and culture journalist, podcast producer, and tarot researcher based in Nottinghamshire.
I founded the British Tarot Archive and created Tarot Interviews: a world-first international interview platform where tarot cards guide conversations with best-selling authors, musicians, and cultural leaders.
At the heart of everything I do is a fascination with hidden stories sitting just beneath familiar things: the real human lives that might be tucked away in century-old tarot cards, the gentle ways traditions survive as they are passed from hand to hand, and the magic that happens when you approach an interview or a piece of technology fitting into your work like a jigsaw piece.
Much of my research focuses on the iconic Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot, the extraordinary life and world of artist Pamela Colman Smith, and tarot as a vibrant, continuous thread in Britain’s cultural history. I have presented my research at places like Goldsmiths, University of London, and my day-to-day work spans writing, producing podcasts, digging through archives, and speaking at festivals.
My talks almost always start with a spark of curiosity. I find a little thread, pull on it, and see where it leads us. Sometimes that thread is an easily overlooked detail in a single card. Other times it is a 400-year-old witchcraft trial, or the simple question of whether an everyday mobile phone can pull off the job of thousands of pounds’ worth of studio tech.
Above all, these sessions are crafted for curious minds. You do not need to arrive knowing anything about tarot or history, so just bring your enthusiasm and we will explore it together.
