On 15th January in London, UK, Radio Academy Director Trevor Dann hosted a seminal event about podcasting.

The panel included Nathalie Schwarz from Channel 4, Matt Wells, Head of Audio from Guardian Unlimited, Sarah Prag from the BBC, and noted independent radio / podcast producers Hermeet Chadha and Karen Pearson. The session covered many issues around podcasting, including definition, production values, regulation, culture, expectations of both listeners and viewers, metrics, and the commercial realities of making podcasting pay.Dean Whitbread from Talking Voices and the UK Podcasters Association takes part in the question and answer session in part two, talking about video and the Association for Downloadable Media initiative.

This podcast is in two parts, encoded at 96kbps, and currently not delivered via RSS, so we thought we’d oblige.

We have a new video showreel online, demonstrating our online video production work. Online video is being commissioned much more frequently these days than when we first started Talking Voices. As 2008 begins, audio podcast production remains the majority of our production work. We expect to be producing more genuinely new media formats including video, radio and the genuinely innovative use of social media in 2008.

Ewan Spence’s extremely well-received Edinburgh Fringe podcast is up and running once more - his third year on the job, and how many podcasters can say that? This episode has a great interview with comedian Stephen K. Amos and some amazing human beatboxing from The Tom Tom Club. Oh, and there’s a Talking Voices advert around 17 minutes in.

Mark Hunter is producing this new podcast for AICR, the Association for International Cancer Research. Subscribe here.

The theme tune is “Cinema is Burning” from another Talking Voices-associated creative team, Cinema Du Lyon.

“We were considering asking Tartan Media Productions / Talking Voices to get involved with AICR as we were aware of the work Mark Hunter had produced for the Tartan Podcast. However, it was hearing the podcast for Glasgow Caledonian University that persuaded us that he was the right person to partner with. Although we thought we could probably look after some of the technical aspects ourselves, we realised that we needed a Producer who was used to working in this medium to pull everything together and keep the project moving along.

In our business it is too easy for other tasks to take precedence and the podcast may have been put on the back burner. Mark has brought structure, ideas and a relaxed style to what we produce. Many of people who listen to our podcast have questions about cancer symptoms and treatments, and Mark’s calm but clear style definitely helps in getting our message across.”
