In this episode of Signal, Head of Podcasts Sassy Clyde, shares some of the things that have dawned on her over her five years as a podcast Producer at Janno Media.

The podcast industry continues to grow and evolve - video podcasts for example, are now more popular than ever - so what have we at Janno Media learned about how best to streamline the process and what's needed in terms of attitude and approach -? A podcast series is still a great way, a creative way, to have some skin in the game; a presence in your sector, market and networks. Our long term clients have found the pay off comes from unexpected places, and in a variety of ways.

Signal from Janno Media is a chance to get to know more about the people we work with, and what drives them on their content journeys. We celebrate the value of content in the way people take in and take on the world.

We’re proud to launch this special episode of our Janno Signal podcast, featuring Sandeep Saib, Senior Business Development Executive at CMS, in time for World Mental Health Day 2024. 

Our longstanding partnership with CMS has seen us collaborate on many inspiring projects, including CMS’s This is Me mental health campaign. The theme for this year’s World Mental Health Day is ‘It is Time to Prioritize Mental Health in the Workplace’ and we couldn't be more grateful to have Sandeep join us to share her personal insights on mental health and wellbeing. 

In this special episode, hosted by our very own Head of Podcasts, Sassy Clyde, Sandeep opens up about her own mental health journey, as well as her role as an advocate for mental health and suicide prevention across many groups and organisations. She also shares her thoughts on supporting mental health in the workplace. 

This isn’t the first time we've had the pleasure of working with Sandeep - who guest-edited an edition of our weekly ContentED bulletin in January 2023, where she shared her personal experiences for Time to Talk Day, highlighting the importance of mental health and having much-needed conversations about it, to fight the stigma and discrimination that still exists in today’s world. 

Sandeep’s honesty and courage have been inspirational for those navigating their own mental health challenges. We’re really grateful to her for contributing to this crucial conversation once again. 

Don’t miss this heartfelt episode, launching today in honour of #WMHD2024. We hope to continue the dialogue on mental health and suicide prevention, making our workplaces and communities more supportive and understanding places for all. 

Tune in here, we hope you enjoy the episode.

We were really excited to welcome Christian Lang, Managing Director of star* scheme, as our special guest on the latest episode of Janno Signal.

At star* scheme, their mission is clear: through the sport of rugby, to make a material difference in the lives of young people who have Adverse Childhood & community Experiences (ACEs), poverty or mental health issues.

Our introduction to star* scheme and their amazing work came through our partnership with Broughton Park RFC, where we proudly sponsor their Under 10’s team.

What becomes clear as soon as you start looking into their work, is the impact they’re making. Whether it's providing essential kit, arranging transportation, facilitating introductions to rugby clubs, or connecting young people and their families with exceptional coaches and team members, their work is both powerful and humbling.

Janno Media Founder, Matt Wallace, talks with Christian about the scheme, its success and ambitions for the future.

We’re really proud of the success Janno Media Award recipient, Anjyy Olosunde has had with her debut podcast 2nTwo.

It’s been a real pleasure getting to know her and watch her thrive on this exciting podcast journey which has seen the release of eight brilliant episodes. Anjy has brought humour, authenticity and insightful questions to a range of impressive guests.

Anjyy's journey began with her winning the Janno Media Award in 2023, impressing both Janno Media Founder, Matt Wallace, and John Collins, Senior Lecturer at Nottingham Trent University’s Centre for Broadcast Journalism, with her pilot podcast.

The £5,000 bursary, now in its second year, provided Anjyy with the opportunity to develop the complete podcast series, and the results speak volumes.

In our latest episode of Janno Signal, Anjy takes the mic again joining our Head of Podcasts, Sass, to share her passion for journalism, offer invaluable tips to aspiring podcasters, as we ask ‘what’s next for Anjyy Olosunde?’

Tune in for a great conversation as we celebrate Anjyy’s achievements.

At Janno Media, we’re committed to partnering with clients who drive positive change. It’s not just part of our mission statement, it has become part of our fabric.

For years, we've had the privilege of working alongside Leo Cancer Care, witnessing their remarkable growth firsthand. Each piece of content we've produced shines a spotlight on their award-winning upright radiotherapy solutions and their dedicated team.

From dynamic motion graphics showcasing their innovative products (each named after renowned female scientists) to engaging promotional videos featuring their groundbreaking work and expert insights, they’ve used content to elevate their brand.

In the latest episode of Janno Signal, Matt Wallace, Founder of Janno Media, sits down with Sophie Towe, Leo Cancer Care’s Head of Marketing, to explore their journey, growth and the role content has played in their success.

Tune in for another episode as we explore Leo Cancer Care's impactful story.

With a knack for documenting his motorbike escapades and genuine encounters with the great British public, Harvey Rides Bikes has carved a real niche in the digital landscape. With each video, his infectious personality and humorous commentary draws viewers in, and you can’t help but smile.

After discovering Harvey’s Instagram last year, our Founder, Matt became an instant fan and recommended Harvey for our weekly bulletin, ContentED.

We let Harvey know we were featuring him and wasted no time in extending an invitation for a chat. Armed with two boxes of Haribo (that will make sense later), Matt and Harvey met in London, which is the usual backdrop for his adventures.

Matt and Harvey chat about Harvey's motivations as a content creator and some pivotal videos which propelled him into the spotlight (nod to "Whizzy Boi."). They also chat about the huge potential of his content, his love of The Bike Shed and of course, his beloved Triumph Bonneville T120.

It was a real pleasure for Matt to sit down with Harvey and see firsthand the passion that fuels his adventures, and we can’t wait to see what he does next.

It was great to sit down with John Collins, Senior Lecturer at Nottingham Trent University’s (NTU) Centre for Broadcasting & Journalism (CBJ), at the end of last year.

As well as Founder, Matt and Marketing Manager, Nicola getting the chance to tour their old stomping ground, we got to record a brilliant chat with John on all thing’s journalism and podcasting.

John shared his insights into the ever-changing landscape of journalism and the growing significance of podcasting and audio content. We discussed the importance of vocational routes in journalism and the Janno Media Award for aspiring podcasters.

We also touch on the impact of the award at NTU and how this year’s recipient Anjy Olosunde is using it as a springboard to great things.

What we did agree on is that whatever the medium… the story is always king!

To mark the release of their 100th episode, the Decarb Connect founder Alex Cameron talks to us about the origins story of the Decarb Connect podcast, and what she's learnt from doing it.

In 2020, when everyone was shut in, the podcast was a necessary means of platforming her brand spanking new business venture. Over time it has taken on a life on it's own and become a traceable history of the Decarbonisation landscape, giving Alex a front row seat in conversations which have influenced her direction of travel.

You can listen to the 100th episode of Decarb Connect here.
