It's like I wasn't the one putting the calls out there."- Charlotte Foster"Trying to maintain a weekly episode when there was just me doing it on my own was impossible. It was beyond full time."- Charlotte Foster"I should have embraced the listeners from abroad a little bit more because there was a load of people listening who were expats. And it was their connection back to the city."- Charlotte FosterABOUT THE GUESTCharlotte Foster' back ground as a Broadcast Journalist for the BBC and commercial radio means that she had been telling stories to make an impact all her working life. She started her Cultural Quarter of an Hour podcast in the post-industrial city of Stoke on Trent, known for its historic pottery industry. After Stoke's reputation was tarnished by the press post-Brexit, Charlotte became an advocate for the city and through her activism and dedication, Charlotte has become a prominent voice for the people of Stoke on Trent, working tirelessly to bring about positive change and rebuild the city's prosperity.Charlotte is now creating podcasts for charities and not for profits so that they can build supporter relationships and increase fundraising.WATCH ON YOUTUBEhttps://www.youtube.com/@podcastgraveyard/videosSPONSORSCheck out our FREE creator economy directory here: https://www.onefineplay.com/directory/allGet access to the OneFinePlaybook here: https://www.onefineplay.com/#featuresVisit Aila https://meetaila.com/ and use the code GRAVEYARD at checkoutUse Podder https://www.podderapp.com/ for better podcast analyticsFAVOURITE PODCASTING TOOLSNotion [how we plan our podcasts] Click hereCaptivate - [for podcast hosting] https://www.captivate.fm/signup?ref=jamesbishopPodPage - [for your podcast website] https://www.podpage.com/?via=OneFinePlayCONTACTEmail [email protected] or head to www.podcastgraveyard.comFeel free to share your feedback, ideas, or insights from the episodes by tweeting @onefineplay.
