Top Quotes from Matthew McLean:
- “Modern audio drama is like the child of old-time radio drama; you can compare it to old-time radio drama in the same way you can compare modern films to old films.”
- “This new medium of modern audio drama has really flourished because of podcasts.”
- “It’s a very small niche and I’m not worried about that. I’d rather have all this interaction than thousands of downloads.”
- “I don’t miss a Dave Jackson episode.”
- “I made the decision that Libsyn was the way to go and I really do like it – I like all its features and it’s very, very simple (even simple enough for me).”
- “After coming to UK Pod last year, I couldn’t have missed it this year. I met so many wonderful people, and this was on top of the excellent, excellent sessions.” [On coming to NMEU 2015]
