The Porty Podcast is produced by David Calder. Launched in late 2016, David highlights events and issues relevant to Portobello. For several months, David and I have been discussing the idea of a podcast featuring Spokes Porty. Spokes Porty campaigns for better walking and cycling infrastructure in and around Portobello. We’re always looking for interesting opportunities to communicate active travel issues with the people who live and work here.
We needed a hook though, and when the hooks came along the timing was never quite right for one or the other of us. We finally got our opportunity to put something together when David offered to use the audio files from the Spokes Porty short film series (still in production). We did the podcast interview over Skype, using a lav mic plugged into headphones to get decent audio quality. I’d bought the mic for a tenner for use on the film productions. David worked his edit miracles and the Spokes Porty podcast went live today. Thanks to a bit of lateral thinking, and some great collaboration, David made his podcast, Spokes Porty got some profile, and we got to use our film audio files twice.
