Description

Every week seasoned podcast producer, radio host and writer Steve Hart provides practical advice to start, improve, and develop your podcast.

From basic recording techniques to podcast promotion and marketing advice, Steve's advice is down-to-earth and easily accessible. After all, all we are talking about is recording the human voice to an MP3 file - it shouldn't be that hard. When it comes to making podcasts, Steve's mantra is: "Use what you have and do it anyway."

In addition, Steve sometimes touches on WordPress, looking at new plugins for those using a self-hosted WordPress site.

Steve recorded his first podcast in 2008 and has previously worked for BBC local radio and commercial radio.

He is the author of the top-selling book Podcasting Made Easy (the one with the black cover) - paperback and Kindle.
