Episode notes

This week, a bumper masterclass of an episode with Olly Mann who with Helen Zatlzmann was one of the earliest pioneers in podcasting with Answer Me This in 2008. Since then, he’s presented The Week Unwrapped and The Moderrn Mann and made real his teenage dream of becoming a BBC radio broadcaster.  

He tells me about getting in early, making it up as he went along, using his media savvy and creative brain to have a load of fun along the way and get to a point where he can pay his mortgage and feed his kids as a podcaster
