Adam Shepherd

After starting his career in enterprise IT journalism, Adam Shepherd made the jump to the world of podcasting, tackling the thorny issues facing the sector’s growth as a serious industry. As editor of PodPod, Adam is in charge of managing PodPod’s editorial content strategy. He also writes a regular column for the site - On Air with Adam Shepherd - and is a frequent voice on the PodPod podcast.

As a podcaster himself, Adam is passionate about solving the challenges they have to deal with, including how to get the perfect acoustic setup, where to advertise your podcast, and what makes a successful show. He enjoys history, interview and comedy podcasts, and feels a constant sense of low-level guilt for not listening to more enriching, high-brow shows.

As well as listening to countless podcast episodes, Adam has been both a podcast host and managed multiple projects setting up podcast networks. When he’s not knee-deep in waveforms and microphones, Adam is often found spending too much time on Twitter, over-analysing cult films and perfecting his chilli recipe.
