JAMES CRIDLAND | The Future Of Podcasting, Playing With Technology & Automating Away Drudgery

In Conversation #56 I chat with James Cridland; the Radio Futurologist and host of multiple podcasts (Podnews/Podland/Podclock). We start off with a bit of tech talk before diving into all things podcasting. This includes an explanation of Podcasting 2.0, how audio programs vary around the world and defining what a podcast actually is. To finish off we explore a bunch of topics I personally love such as travel, cultural differences, books and what brings James joy & meaning.As always, I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world.
