Hello! I’m Rick Simmonds. My day job? I help entrepreneurs and SMEs start, maintain and grow their podcasts; alongside working on large UK commissions for charities, universities and businesses.

In this episode:

What podcast equipment do you really need (and how do you make the decision on what to get?)

How video as arrived with Apple Podcasts, and the importance of the smart speaker in podcasting

And a review of a show that took me completely outside of my comfort zone, as I discovered that a Love Island podcast from a TikTokker could teach me a good few things about upping my own, boring, square podcast!
