We teach multimedia communication to professionals around the globe
Podcaster's Portal is brought to you by Talkshow Communication. We're a global media and leadership training company based in London and New York. We're helping people all over the world create phenomenal podcasts. From the UK to the US, from Sweden to Ireland.

Not only do we help people make phenomenal podcasts to broadcast standard, but we help people with all aspects of multimedia communication - writing for the new Web medium. Creating dynamic video content from cheap and cheerful to high end production.

As a training and performance improvement company, we have a team of media trainers who bring years of experience from some of the world's most respected media organizations. And as professional trainers, they follow adult learning principles to ensure your training investment pays your back.

We're experienced media practitioners
One of the many advantages our trainers offer our clients is that they aren't hobby podcasters who discovered audio communication tinkering with computers in a garage just after the dot com crash. Our trainers have been earning their wages making audio and video professionally for many years.

Our trainers have made audio and video content under pressure. And to difficult deadlines in some of the most demanding situations. So they know what can go wrong and how to prevent it. They know the short cuts that save you time but won't compromise quality. And they understand media and multimedia communication.

Our trainers have spent their lives earning a living making audio and video content for the world's great broadcasters. Including the BBC, NBC, and ABC.

We're professional trainers
Another advantage you get from our trainers is that all are training professionals who understand the science of learning and improving performance.

Our trainers are not well-intentioned media practitioners who retired for a quieter life but decided to make a few dollars on the side by teaching media. We don't think training is simply about running "show and tell" sessions. And our sessions aren't about reliving the teacher's last twenty years in the media at the expense of equipping you with skills to do your job.

Our trainers understand adult learning principles. And they put them into action so you walk out of our workshops, seminars and coaching sessions with skills, not just knowledge and whimsical stories. Our learning sessions are carefully planned events that draw on the science of learning to enable you to do your job.

Most of our trainers have adult learning qualifications. All have an extensive track record training adults. They understand how different people learn differently and tailor the sessions to meet learners' learning needs. Our trainers make your learning experience more productive to ensure it sticks. And they're learner-centered rather than teacher centered.

All our training is based on professional learning and performance improvement techniques employed by the world's leading learning organizations. We're both media people ... and qualified learning practitioners.

All our services are offered globally. So talk to us about how we can help you or your organization.
