The MetaPod Preview

MetaPod gets into the backstories of the web’s most interesting podcasts to discover the inspiration, challenges, secrets and surprises of the people who present and produce these shows. Each show has a backstory all of its own – ranging from the passion of a host for a particular subject to a creative desire to tell a fascinating story or shed new light on a topic. MetaPod co-hosts Wendy Morrill and Kevin May unpack a different podcast by talking to the creator(s) about the show’s origin story and the details surrounding the creative process along the way. In this episode of MetaPod, you’ll hear a teaser collage of some of the guests interviewed for our first run of episodes. Plus, we tell you more about what to expect from MetaPod. The MetaPod Preview features clips of: Chris Warburton of Ecstasy: The Battle of Rave Avery Trufelman of The Cut Nick Hilton of The Town That Didn’t Stare Halina Rifai of A Sonic Hug Mark Thomas of Mark Thomas’ Lockdown Check-up Marit Higraff of Death In Ice Valley Atze de Vrieze of Weird Hit Wonder About Wendy Morrill and Kevin May Wendy is co-host of MetaPod by night and employed by an international travel trade association by day. Her friends and enemies appreciate her love of baking, interest in new and old music and skeptical sense of humor. Before moving to the old Amsterdam, where she currently resides, Wendy lived in the new Amsterdam. She grew up in a different new place called New Hampshire. If you need a recipe for chocolate chip cookies, she can help you. Kevin has somehow managed to be employed for over 25 years as a journalist, covering everything from crime, politics, media and, since 2005, travel and its intersection with technology. He’s the former Editor-In-Chief of US-based PhocusWire, although he mostly sits at home in the UK. Kevin’s accident rate on a mountain bike is worryingly high for a 40-something who should know better and he’s also spent far too long co-authoring a biography about electronic music pioneers Depeche Mode. Kevin is suspicious of people who do not like Marmite. Follow MetaPod >> Twitter | Instagram | Facebook This is a public episode.
