Your shouty radio ads won’t work in podcasts, but unknown talent just might
Nova’s head of podcasting, Jay Walkerden, and Podcast One’s director of content, Jennifer Goggin, have warned podcasters to steer clear of “shouty”, radio-style ads, but claimed that you don’t always need big name talent for a podcast to take off.
Speaking on a panel at Mumbrella’s inaugural Audioland conference, they explained that while the likes of Osher Gunsberg and Hamish and Andy bring an immediate audience with them, the investment in unknown talent can pay off.
