Iszi Lawrence is an international stand up comedian fromReading, England, a longtime podcaster and happily for us - today’sPodcast Diva.
Podcasting since 2008 with Sundays Supplement – acomedy podcast where Iszi and co-host Simon Dunn review the SundayNewspaper Supplements, Iszi launched The Z ListDead List a podcast about obscure people from history inSeptember 2014.
In that time Iszi has produced hundreds of episodes and sharesher experience on why first and foremost you need to love yourpodcast, what makes a good podcast, tips and advice for doing thisand much more in episode 16 of Podcast Divas, including:
‘You have to do stuff as well as you can for the purpose ofdoing it only. Then if other stuff comes out of it,brilliant, but if you’re doing it for something else and not forit’s own thing, the love wont be there. You’ll give up on itvery quickly’.
‘Bore yourself rigid and look at how to do sound andediting, and this thing called multiband compression,really understand that! Because the only thing that stops me givingyour podcast a listen is the sound quality’.
Do an idea that interests you – don’t worry if it interestsanybody else.
Give it your all.
‘Get a co-host who does all the editing!’
