Martyn Blunt's Podcasts

Martyn meets Will Kinder, former BBC Radio One Breakfast Producer and TV director. 

As virtual and hybrid events continue to have an important role to play since the redefinition of our industry in the last two years, we explore how to bring a broadcast edge to virtual events with Will as he talks to Martyn Blunt about dealing with competition for attention and the importance of deciding early on whether the ambition is to televise a live event or produce a broadcast with the virtual audience as the primary focus. Tune in to the latest podcast for some great insight from a voice of experience.

Martyn asks: "In a virtual or hybrid world does a presenter have to adapt or learn new skills? "
 
The guests invited to discuss this are :

 Chris Elmitt – Managing director of https://crystalinteractive.net/ whose new platform JAM is proving very successful. 

Dave Austin - A former BBC presenter, now a freelance presenter, actor, voice artist and  presentation  coach 

The discussion looks at the changes both the presenter and the event planner have to make as we continue to embrace the virtual and hybrid event world.

Martyn continues to consider the implications of Brexit  by talking  with Michelle Tudor - Senior Associate at Moore Barlow Solicitors who specialises in employment and business immigration matters.

Topics include EU citizens working in the UK and UK citizens working in the EU, both freelance and fulltime. 

Martyn also asks the question: "When traveling to the EU what is considered business  and when does  business become work ?"

Martyn talks to Anna Abdelnoor Co-Founder of https://weareisla.co.uk, a new organisation launched in September 2020 that works with event agencies and brands, organisers and suppliers providing practical guidance and support on environmental issues.

We also hear from Becca Whittles, project co-ordinator at Goose Live Events, Becca  used the ISLA protocols to measure carbon emissions at a recent event and gives some direct hands on feedback.

We are deeply saddened by the news that the legendary Murray Walker OBE died yesterday. 

He was a huge fan of The Classic event at Silverstone which Goose organise each year and was always so generous with his time. He joined us for many events over the years.  In this podcast hear comment from Goose CEO Nick Wigley and a conversation I was honoured to record with Murray for the Classic.
