The Brief
Podcasts are a smart, low-cost way for new businesses to raise their profile, connect with audiences, and position themselves as experts.
So when Business & IP Centres in Greater Manchester and South Yorkshire, and The Growth Company, wanted to offer practical, creative skills to start-ups, they brought in MIC to deliver just that.
What We Delivered
We run a regular series of podcasting workshops for start-ups, freelancers and entrepreneurs,.
Delivered both in-person and online, our workshops cover:
- What makes a great podcast
- Interviewing techniques that build confidence
- Gear and editing (without the overwhelm)
- Planning and branding
Each session is practical, welcoming, and designed to take the fear out of podcasting, whether our learners are just starting up or scaling a side hustle.
And as a proud cherry on top, our founder Vic is BIPC GM’s first-ever Podcasting Expert in Residence, offering 1:1 advice to founders exploring podcasting for their brand.
The Impact
We’ve helped hundreds of early-stage entrepreneurs across the North to explore how podcasting can support their business.
And the feedback? Glowing.
“Brilliant session, informative and educational. Learnt a lot in a short amount of time. Also how informal it was created a safe environment. Loved it. Very helpful.”
“I started from knowing virtually nothing about podcasts and ended with comprehensive knowledge and the confidence to start producing a series. MIC media are clearly very talented – total good eggs.”
“Approachable, relatable, answered all my questions. Feedback was second to none. If you’ve ever even thought about starting a podcast – get to one of MIC’s sessions. You won’t regret it.”
