How did you become involved with podcasts?

Danny Kelly (Podcaster) gives expert video advice on: What is a podcast?; How often are podcasts broadcast?; How did you become involved with podcasts? and more...

I became involved in podcasts by what is the still traditional route of radio. I was broadcasting on the BBC London about sport, and got offered to do the podcast, because people believe there are similar skills involved. There are, though there are a lot of other skills that you have to learn, new things that you have to learn for the podcast. Until now, people who have been doing the very successful podcasts - the big, professional ones, not the equally excellent and brilliant amateur bedroom ones, which have their own glory - have been either traditional radio broadcasters or, oddly enough, people who do stand-up comedy. That's why we've had very successful people like Ricky Gervais, whose podcast has gone around the world and been a huge success.
