If you're a comedian, chances are you have a podcast, or you're thinking of starting one. Podcasting offers a great opportunity to grow your audience and hone your comedic skills. It can also offer opportunities to make money outside of festivals and touring and create professional opportunities.

In the first of our Stupid Old Studios Learns series we bring together successful independent and small-network comedy podcasters to talk about podcasting as a channel for creativity and income.
