In this session Liam would like to discuss the highs, lows, and challenges of finding your feet as a freelance podcast producer. It's a turbulent industry, and over the past few years he's experienced it all from redundancies to terminations. On the flip side, he's also been selected as one of Podpod's Faces to Watch, and worked with some amazing people on really great projects. He would like to share his experiences to reassure audio talent to keep going, and keep pushing through the bad days, because things do get better.
