This week we have Nick Wilmshurst of Ginger Wizard Productions In the heart of Leeds, where creativity flows like a Yorkshire stream, Nick Wilmshurst conjured up something truly enchanting: Ginger Wizard Productions. Nick’s audio adventure began at the tender age of seven—back in 1987—when he pioneered podcasting (well, the '80s version) using trusty cassette tapes. Imagine him huddled in his room, recording gems to share with family and friends.  Fast-forward 24 years, and Nick found himself honing his craft at the venerable BBC. Radio waves became his playground, and he even sprinkled some magic on BBC Breakfast.  He’s been the voice behind live shows, the maestro producing countless hours of radio and TV, and the sage coach guiding hosts and presenters.  And now, dear listeners, Nick brings his wizardry to your ears. No more cassettes, mind you! Whether you’re a budding podcaster or a seasoned pro, he’s here to help you launch your own show.  So grab your headphones and let’s dive into the mystical world of Ginger Wizard Productions podcasting, Spells optional!
