Podcast Training

Communicate like a broadcaster

Podcasts have become a core part of how many organisations communicate. But speaking clearly to an audience is a different skill set from writing a report, delivering a briefing or standing behind a lectern.

Drawing on decades of experience in journalism, broadcasting and media training, we help organisations translate subject-matter expertise into conversations audiences actually want to listen to. We help subject matter experts, executives and technical specialists communicate with confidence behind the microphone.

Whether you’re planning to launch a podcast, or are looking to improve what you’ve already started, we’ll help you connect with your audience and communicate with clarity.

What we cover

Every workshop is tailored to the organisation, audience and format. Common topics include:

• How spoken communication differs from written communication
• Structuring information so audiences can follow it
• Reducing jargon and complexity without losing meaning
• Creating content that sounds natural rather than scripted

• Hosting and guest interview techniques
• Keeping discussions engaging and focused
• Managing difficult topics

• Vocal delivery and microphone technique
• Using pace, tone and emphasis effectively
• Avoiding common vocal habits

• Using examples and storytelling effectively
• Explaining complex information clearly

• Looking comfortable and credible on video
• Adapting your delivery for video as well as audio
• Delivering key messages naturally without sounding rehearsed

What to expect from your podcast training

Our workshops are typically delivered as half-day or full-day sessions for individuals or small groups. Training is practical and interactive. Participants spend time doing the work — speaking, interviewing, presenting and receiving feedback — rather than sitting through lengthy presentations.

Sessions can be delivered online or in person and are customised to reflect your organisation’s communication channels, audiences and objectives.

• Greater confidence speaking on microphone and camera
• Stronger podcast hosting and interviewing skills
• More engaging presentations and webinars
• Clearer communication of complex information
• Practical techniques that can be applied immediately

How we tailor every workshop

We don’t deliver generic presentation advice. Before every workshop we review your existing material, understand your audience and communication goals, and tailor practical exercises around the conversations you’ll actually be having. Participants practise with realistic scenarios and receive detailed feedback they can apply immediately.

• We review your existing podcast plans and material
• We identify where broadcast communication differs from your normal presentations
• Practical exercises use realistic examples rather than generic scripts
• Participants receive individual coaching and feedback
• The workshop is adjusted to suit your presenters, audience and objectives
