July Podcast Club Meet Up (virtual) - Guest Speaker, Chit-Chat & Q+A

Welcome to July's West Midlands Podcast Club meetup!

This event will be online via Google Meets and we have a cracking session lined up for you (more info on both below).

All types of podcasters are welcome! This is a safe space to learn from each other and improve our podcasting skills together. This includes podcasters who are yet to launch, have recently started, and the more advanced who have been doing it for a while.

Not started a podcast? No problem, together we'll help you launch and overcome the obstacles in your way.

Not from the West Midlands or the UK? Again, no problem! This event is online meaning anyone from around the world can join. We're global baby!

Special guest - Bob Cartwright
We’re excited to be joined by special guest Bob Cartwright, the voice behind The Outdoors Station and a true pioneer in UK outdoor podcasting.

With years of experience producing rich, immersive audio content, Bob will be sharing tips on crafting compelling podcast episodes, from choosing the right style and managing pacing, to using music effectively and navigating common production pitfalls like awkward questions or copyright concerns.

Challenges and wins
We'll have time to run through any challenges you have, and sharing with the group your recent wins.

Accountability check-in
Each month we do an accountability check-in, running through your goals last month, and setting up you next goals.
