Testimonial

The podcast training course was a fantastic introduction to all things podcast! Not only did it introduce me to the relevant software and equipment needed to record, edit and publish a podcast, it also included vital tips on interview techniques and how to hook in the interest of your listeners. Myself and my colleagues have since launched our own podcast - Sounds of the Sanctuary - providing listeners with a tour of Redwings Horse Sanctuary and stories about our work and the rescued residents we care for.

    Great team building exercise and very interesting, I like that we were encouraged to practice and try and produce something individual and then come together as a team to discuss.

    Great facilitation, thorough and personable. Would thoroughly recommend this course.
