QUOTES
"If you take out sleep, I reckon probably 4 years went into the creation of this podcast."
— Jim Salveson
"In the early days of the podcast, I was hugely fussy about every single element of it from a production point of view."
— Jim Salveson
"Podcasting is part of your social branding. It's part of your personal branding as an individual. And if you say something off color in a podcast, 10 years down the line, that could easily be uncovered and could be a reflection on yourself whether you go into the world's business or Politics or whatever it is, it's a record of you as a human at a certain point in time."
— Jim Salveson
ABOUT THE GUEST
Jim is a passionate audio professional. His many years working across a range of mediums and for a variety of audiences has given him a real talent for tailoring content to specific audiences.
He is as passionate about Sport as he is about audio. His love of football means that when he's not working with the sport he is either playing it or watching it (much to his wife's irritation).
His love for audio stretches outside of his professional life and he is a keen podcaster. The most recent of his "hobby" projects being a satirical football show that has been nominated in recent years for 3 UK Aria Awards.
