"The Podcast Power Blueprint course is well organised, well presented and professional. I’m currently listening to the Ringr section - really great stuff!"



Jim Spring, Broadcaster, London Podcast Network


I love Simon's straight forward conversational style. Too many instructional videos can be off putting by using jargon or assuming a greater knowledge on the part of the listener, and I feel this course is just right.
