Podcasts are a channel with rich potential for advertisers, but while an increasing number of brands are making podcasts part of their media mix, many have yet to explore significant investments in the podcast market. These organisations are missing golden opportunities to leverage engaged and attentive audiences.
At PodPod and Campaign’s Podcast Advertising Summit last month, the topic of how best to approach these opportunities was a key point of discussion. This week, we’re bringing you one of the conference’s expert panel sessions, including Hiscox UK head of brand marketing Ed Birth, Vicky Handley, brand communications lead for Lloyds Banking Group, Spotify’s Ed Couchman, head of sales for Northern Europe, and Steven Dunlop, founder and CEO of AMA, moderated by PodPod’s Reem Makari.

Every great podcast starts with a great idea, but looking at a blank page, it can often feel like finding that spark of inspiration is an impossible task. The secret to coming up with successful podcast concepts may seem like a mystical art, but there are a range of proven tips, tricks and strategies that seasoned professionals use to fuel their creativity.
Production company Novel is among the best in the industry at sniffing out a strong story, as demonstrated by a string of hits spanning a wide range of genres, including The Girlfriends, Stolen Hearts and 28 Dates Later. This week we speak to Novel’s creative director for development, Willard Foxton, about how he and his team identify great podcast ideas, the perils of pitching, and why diversity is at the heart of a great development strategy.

To build an audience in podcasting, the most important thing is to ensure that you’re producing outstanding content. Although there are a variety of techniques that you can use to get your show in front of more people, ultimately it’s the discussion itself that will keep people coming back again and again. This was one of the key topics that emerged from PodPod’s Podcast Growth Summit, which we held a couple of months ago in London. 
This week, we’re bringing you one of the stand-out panel sessions from the event, featuring Persis Love, audio producer for the Financial Times, History Hit’s head of podcasts Steve Lanham, and Michelle Douglass, senior podcast producer for the National Trust, talking to PodPod’s Reem Makari about how they create podcasts that deeply resonate with their chosen audience.

Podcasts are fundamentally about conversation, and interview shows have long been a staple of the medium. Few podcasts can boast as star-studded a catalogue as Tape Notes, however, which has spent the last six years interviewing a who’s-who of top music acts from Blur to Bicep.
But how does a podcast get such high-profile talent on the show in the first place, and how do you get the best out of them when they’re there? In this week’s episode, Rhianna Dhillon and Adam Shepherd speak to John Kennedy, Tape Notes host and veteran Radio X DJ, about his approach to interviewing, how to put guests at ease, and why microphone discipline is a challenge even for those who spend their lives in front of them.
Hosted by Rhianna Dhillon and produced by Matt Hill for Haymarket Business Media.
