Colin Gray: Breaking the Podcasting Mould
Colin Gray will be speaking at the New Media Europe conference in Manchester. Here’s what to expect at his power session in Glasgow:
Podcasting is growing fast, and newcomers seem to be following happily in the footsteps of old hands in the industry. But, there are a lot of ‘conventions’ out there that might not serve us as well as they once did. This talk is about breaking those conventions, looking at why they came about and why it might be time to outgrow them. Taking a new approach to podcasting can help it to fit into a much larger strategy. This can help you to create products and eventually generate an income from your broadcasting. Let’s find out how with “The Podcast Host“!
