The Business and Intellectual Property Centre at Manchester Central Library has a new Podcaster in Residence.
In celebration of International Podcast Day, the Centre has welcomed Vic Elizabeth Turnbull, founder of podcast production and training social enterprise MIC Media, as Podcaster in Residence.
At MIC Media, Vic has worked with many clients including BBC Radio 4, The Guardian and The Times. Earlier this year, she was named as one of the Top 100 Women in Social Enterprise by Pioneers Post and Natwest.
She’s a judge for the British Podcast Awards, The International Women’s Podcast Awards and the Manchester Publicity Association (MPA) Awards.
Nominated for a British Podcast Award in 2020, Vic founded MIC’s Podcast Club, a community for podcasters that has over 950 global members. She’s also the co-founder and Director of Pods Up North, a conference for podcasters.
Vic and BIPC’s shared aim is to get more people to pick up a microphone, talk about what they do, how they do it and what they can achieve.
As Podcaster in Residence, Vic will offer workshops on all aspects of podcasting, including how to start a podcast, interviewing techniques, recording and editing.
BIPC GM launched its podcasting studio in Manchester’s Central Library last year and it is now used by many local businesses and organisations. Demand is high and Vic and the team at BIPC are keen to share the potential with more businesses exploring new ways of sharing their services and stories.
Vic says: “I am thrilled to be working with the Business and IP Centre as their new expert in residence. MIC media is all about giving everyone the opportunity to amplify their voice and share stories through top-quality audio. Podcasts can help you to deliver your business’ key messages, values and expertise authentically.
“This human-centred approach can help your brand stand out from the competition. And never has this been more important to cut through the noise in our busy, digital age! I am excited to be able to help more people unlock the power of podcasts and couldn’t be happier than to be doing just that here at the Centre”.
Councillor John Hacking, Executive Member for Skills, Employment and Leisure for Manchester City Council adds: “BIPC GM has at its fingertips all manner of resources and will be driving forward in the coming months to make sure that more people can enjoy and benefit from the spectrum of opportunities provided they might not even know exist”.
