Lights, Camera, Promotion with Jack Hales from The Pod Collective

In this mildly celebratory episode of The ClusterCast (mainly because we somehow stumbled past 10,000 YouTube subscribers… excuse me while I pick my jaw up off the floor), I sat down with Jack Hales from The Pod Collective - one half of the brilliant duo behind The PodBox OX podcast studio at The Cluster.We chat about how Jack and Hugo started The Pod Collective, what it’s actually like building an independent business, dealing with knock-backs without launching yourself into the sea, and why getting moving and consistency matter more than knowing it all (p.s. none of us do!) We also discuss podcasting, why businesses need to stop hiding behind online ads, leaflets and websites, and Jack once again unsuccessfully attempts to convince me to attend a salsa class.And genuinely… if you’re a small business and you’re not podcasting yet, why not? People don’t want more adverts shoved into their eyeballs, they want stories, personalities, honesty and connection. Podcasting gives people a chance to actually discover you, trust you and feel part of the journey. So book The PodBox OX today, record your podcast, stop overthinking it and reach your audience.
