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.

QUOTES

"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.
