How it all started...

In 2005 when I was first setting up Podcats, people kept asking me how I thought I was going to make my living as a professional podcaster. They'd shake their heads and sigh at the thought of the improbability of such a thing being possible. At the time I was still presenting radio shows for Saga 105.7fm (now Smooth Radio) in Birmingham.

 

I had been set up to do voiceovers with ISDN and editing facilities since 2000 and I had portable recording equipment - at that time an HHB mini disc recorder - and I was sure there was a way to transfer my skills to the net and make my living from it.

3 years later I can report that its going very nicely thank you! I no longer work in terrestrial radio although I do still work as a voice over, often for other people's podcasts. See Beermat Radio.

My old professional mini disc recorder has been pensioned off and I now have an HHB Flashmic which I love and I'm sure I'll mention from time to time!
