The former BBC cricket producer and current King of Podcasts, Tony Pastor, explains what makes this audio format so successful and how cricket might benefit
Thanks Simon...very interesting background to the explosion of podcasts. I’m semi retired now but do long distance driving when I am working & good podcasts, many of which you mention, add immeasurably to the pleasure of my day & the sum of my knowledge.
‘People want long-form conversation. They want really engaging, entertaining, informative, intelligent conversation between people they enjoy the company of.’
I couldn’t agree more with this point & am certain that, if a long form TV interview format was resurrected (à la Parky in his prime), it would amaze commissioners with its audience numbers.
In the meantime I look forward to ‘The Rest Is Cricket.’ 😀
