Welcome to ”Ask The Expert”, Silverstone Technology Cluster’s podcast. In each episode, we invite seasoned professionals and industry leaders to share their insights, experiences, and strategies for navigating the complexities of modern business and the advanced engineering landscape.
In this special episode, Hugo and Jack from The Pod Collective step out from behind the scenes and join Jeannie behind the mic. We dive into what businesses often misunderstand about starting a podcast today, why production alone isn’t enough, and how brands should be thinking about ROI in 2026.
We also talk about the biggest mistakes companies make when they try to DIY their podcast strategy, the opportunities they see for established brands, and what an end‑to‑end podcast partnership really looks like.
Plus, Hugo and Jack open up about their own journey — why they started The Pod Collective, the gap they wanted to fill, and the lessons they’ve learned building a podcast agency from scratch.
