Episode 398 - CO-HOST - Vic Turnbull - MIC's Podcast Club Online Community and Support For Podcasters Around The World

Vic is a podcast producer and music geek and runs MIC media, her podcast production company. For a more up-to-date glance of what they get up to head to their website here.

MIC media is a social enterprise that amplifies often underheard stories and voices. In 2022, MIC won the Silver Award in the Grassroots Production category at the Audio Production Awards and in the same year nominated for a Manchester Culture Award. MIC’s also received a nomination in the British Podcast Awards and the Manchester Publicity Awards (MPA).

Also in 2022, Vic contributed to The Guardian and Third Sector news as a podcast specialist.

In recognition of her achievements to date, Vic features in the Top 100 Women in Social Enterprise List 2022 (WISE 100, Natwest and Pioneers Post), was nominated as the ‘Social Impact Star’ at the Inspiring Women Changemakers Awards (2019), is recognised as a role-model on the prestigious Northern Power Women Future List 2017. In 2019 she was awarded a place on the competitive School for Social Entrepreneurs and Lloyds Bank start-up business development programme.

Originally and proudly from Sheffield, Vic decided that after her GCSE’s, she was done with the formalities of education, and went down a more vocational route, from a National Diploma in Media Production at College, to then graduating with HND in the same subject from Salford Uni. Vic’s been an honorary Manc for eighteen years and now her accent is a hybrid Lancashire / Yorkshire, super Northern one.

She’s a massive advocate of the power of informal learning, DIY approaches and talent as routes to success and amplifying underrepresented voices.

MIC's (virtual/in-person) Podcast Club for global podcastersWhat we’re about

Helpful and supportive regular online and in-person get-togethers for podcasters from everywhere!

We're a community of global podcasters who help each other make brilliant podcasts.

We all make podcasts as producers, editors or presenters.

Each Podcast Club meetup is a real-life podcaster FAQ asked and answered by the awesome MIC podcaster community who come from across the world.

(yep it says Manchester, that's where we're based - it won't let us put EVERYWHERE!)

Our monthly events are online, and we (aim to!) host quarterly in-person meetups too, what we like to call our 'socials'.

We also have a special podcaster guest most months to give their expert take on a chosen podcasty subject. To date, we've had talks from chart-topping and award-winning podcasters about shortform podcasting, rating and reviews and remote recording.
