Who am I?
Hi, my name's John Lacey. I'm interested in video, livestreaming and content creation. But I am trying to encourage people to think less in terms of their individual medium or content type and more about the skills they're developing in terms of having a voice, sharing and refining their message, and using technology to amplify that message. I am fascinated by podcasting and listen to an obscene amount of podcasts about podcasting. It will be hard to refine my options down to 5, but here goes.
My Show
What is my podcast about and/or how does it relate to the playlist topic you chose?
In Build A Presentation Muscle, I want to talk about: * finding your voice * refining and sharing your message * using tools and technology to share that message, and * looking after yourself as a creator
What is my podcast playlist about?
Let's talk about my podcast playlist. These are some (admittedly not all) of my favourite podcasts about podcasting.

2. The Future IS Audio
Why this podcast?
Josh Liston is super passionate about podcasting. Sometimes his episodes appear to be straight up therapy sessions for himself as he unpacks some of the trends within the industry. I love the DIY ethos of punk rock, and I think it offers an interesting framework for indie podcasters.

The Future IS Audio (the podcast) is an audio accompaniment for The Future IS Audio newsletter, homed on LinkedIn. This article was written and read by long-time Podcaster and Professional Podcast Editor, Josh Liston from Australia. In this show Josh wants to share both his love and appreciation for the audio medium (Podcasting, Audiobooks, Audio-dramas, and Voice-Over) as well as share all the lessons he's learned in his 13+ years in the medium that have helped him make better (and more sustainable) audio programs. To be clear, we're not anti-Video Podcasting over here, we're just pro Audio-first Podcasting. [ This feed was formerly known as Deadset Podcasting ]
