A shorter newsletter this week from James, who adds this note:
Next Radio is next week – next Monday, in fact. It’s a conference I’ve been running with Matt Deegan for the last six years. Here’s the full programme, and a look back to last year. Tickets are £199, but you – yes, you – can get in for £149 if you use the code PODNEWSVIP. That’s because podnews, my podcasting newsletter, is sponsoring the Sunday drinks that we do for out-of-towners (which we’ll email you about). So, buy your ticket if you’ve not already got it: I’m literally spending my own money to make your tickets cheaper. I look forward to seeing you there.
Also, you should subscribe to podnews.
