“Think of sound and music… as narrative, not just underscore.”

Coffee shop owners 🤝 Good podcasters

Crowd Network’s Steve Jones tells #PodCon2024 his secret to working out what type of sports person is best to create a podcast with.

“You come up with better ideas when you restrict things.”

CEO of Bwlb Ltd Andy Taylor explained to #PodCon2024 that we are more likely to come up with fresh and original ideas when we restrict our options, rather than keep them open.

While creating #TheTrialofLucyLetby podcast, The Daily Mail’s northern reporter Liz Hull spent almost a year in court reporting on this one story.

She and producer Caroline Cheetham told #PodCon2024 about their desire to help demystify court reporting for the audience.

“You will never know their names.”

She told #PodCon2024 about the podcast’s efforts to humanise these victims, during the ongoing trial.

“The instant reaction from people was, ‘I'm angry all over again’”

Producer David Williams explains how ITV News' podcast on #Partygate was a way for the audience to ‘deal with something’ at a time of political chaos in the UK #PodCon2024

"Would you be mates with these people?"

That's the question @stevejones1000 from @_crowdnetwork thinks is most important when it comes to whether a sports podcast will succeed

Thanks to @edge21rebecca for taking a photo of me presenting and picking out a phrase that actually made some sense 😂. @podconcymru has been absolutely brilliant. There's a real buzz about the Welsh media sector at the moment... 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🎧🎥♥️

[MediaCymru_ @MediaCymru_]

Does being creative diminish the truthfulness of a story? Or can creativity help communicate the truth of a story, as @StevenRajam argues? #PodconCymru24

[MediaCymru_ @MediaCymru_]

How to be creative - perhaps don’t listen to me says @StevenRajam from @overcoatmedia, because creativity means having the confidence to take your own risks and rip up the rule book #podconcymru24

[Khurram Khan ✪ | AI for UK SMEs @khurram999]

It's amazing to find out about the creative economy of Podcasts in Wales. Super excited to be at @podconcymru today.
