The Content Podcaster

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: podcast piracy, why it matters, and what you can do from day one to insure against someone nicking your hard work and making money out of it. Plus a big story from the week on podcast stats - and we review an immersive audio podcast (if you have no idea what that is, then follow the link below!).
