Podcast 1 - Audience
This is the first of six podcasts in which I interview people whose jobs - among them an entrepreneur, an industrialist, a music promoter, and a television producer - require them to communicate at the highest level on a regular basis. In this feature the focus is on bypassing your own preoccupations as presenter and placing the emphasis where it is most needed, on the audience.
