An Interview with Richard Herring

Abstract

The writer and comedian Richard Herring has emerged as one of the foremost practitioners of British podcasting in terms of exposure and innovation. This long-form interview ends this edited collection with a detailed practitioner’s view of a number of historic and contemporary issues that have impacted podcasting or been brought about by its emergence. The interview covers podcasting as identity, funding structures, audiences and approaches to form, and covers a diverse collection of thoughts and key-points that attempt to bring together many of core strands that run through this collection and, more generally, the ‘podcast moment’.
