QUOTES
"If you take out sleep, I reckon probably 4 years went into the creation of this podcast."
— Jim Salveson
"In the early days of the podcast, I was hugely fussy about every single element of it from a production point of view."
— Jim Salveson
"Podcasting is part of your social branding. It's part of your personal branding as an individual. And if you say something off color in a podcast, 10 years down the line, that could easily be uncovered and could be a reflection on yourself whether you go into the world's business or Politics or whatever it is, it's a record of you as a human at a certain point in time."
— Jim Salveson

ABOUT THE GUEST
Jim is a passionate audio professional. His many years working across a range of mediums and for a variety of audiences has given him a real talent for tailoring content to specific audiences.
He is as passionate about Sport as he is about audio. His love of football means that when he's not working with the sport he is either playing it or watching it (much to his wife's irritation).
His love for audio stretches outside of his professional life and he is a keen podcaster. The most recent of his "hobby" projects being a satirical football show that has been nominated in recent years for 3 UK Aria Awards.

"And then I started getting people asking if they could come on the podcast, which was my favourite thing ever. It's like I wasn't the one putting the calls out there."
- Charlotte Foster
"Trying to maintain a weekly episode when there was just me doing it on my own was impossible. It was beyond full time."
- Charlotte Foster
"I should have embraced the listeners from abroad a little bit more because there was a load of people listening who were expats. And it was their connection back to the city."
- Charlotte Foster
ABOUT THE GUEST
Charlotte Foster' back ground as a Broadcast Journalist for the BBC and commercial radio means that she had been telling stories to make an impact all her working life. She started her Cultural Quarter of an Hour podcast in the post-industrial city of Stoke on Trent, known for its historic pottery industry. After Stoke's reputation was tarnished by the press post-Brexit, Charlotte became an advocate for the city and through her activism and dedication, Charlotte has become a prominent voice for the people of Stoke on Trent, working tirelessly to bring about positive change and rebuild the city's prosperity.
Charlotte is now creating podcasts for charities and not for profits so that they can build supporter relationships and increase fundraising.

QUOTES
"I feel a bit sad, but part of me feels like I didn't give it my all. So there's a bit of resentment. I wish I could have found the time. It's it's a matter of priority and what is most important."
— Jack Gaisford
"Only when you really give it your all and you really get in the trenches with it, do you realise how hard it really is."
— Jack Gaisford 

How often do people on TikTok, who may be interested in marketing or just scrolling through at night, see a 15 sec clip and then sit down and consume an hour long podcast? I don't know if it works like that."
— Jack Gaisford

ABOUT THE GUEST
Since 2018, Jack Gaisford has been running a video production agency that creates regular content for startups, all the way up to the biggest brands in the world. He's always dreamed of starting a podcast but never found the time to pursue it.
However, when his business experienced a slower period, he saw it as an incredible opportunity to finally make his podcasting dreams a reality. With his microphones ready and all the necessary equipment sorted out, Jack was determined to create a captivating show.
Inspired by the likes of Steven Bartlett's CEO and Joe Rogan's podcast, he aimed to deliver insightful content rather than mere snippets. Jack's journey to becoming a podcast host reflects his dedication to seizing opportunities and following his passions.
