The post Iwan Thomas and David Prutton: Full Chat shares a love for motorbikes appeared first on POD BIBLE.
]]>Full Chat launched on 24th April and has had an abundance of celebrity guests already, including Paul Ainsworth, Kriss Akabusi, Peter Hickman and James Cracknell. The podcast is powered by Bikesure, the UK’s largest specialist motorbike insurer.
We spoke to Iwan and David about podcasting, their dream guests and where to start with their podcast…
David Prutton and Iwan Thomas interview James Cracknell on Full Chat
Who are you and what’s your podcast about?
Iwan: I’m Iwan Thomas, a former European, Commonwealth and world champion athlete and I’ve always been a total bike nut. The podcast is about not only my love for bikes but our guest’s life stories of what riding motorbikes brings them.
David: My name is David Prutton, former footballer now presenter and motorbike nut. Now, with the lovely Iwan Thomas, we speak to the great and the good about our shared two-wheeled passion!
Why did you decide to start podcasting in the first place?
Iwan: I started to do the podcast because I believe it’s a brilliant way to get across my passion, enthusiasm and love for a subject close to my heart and in doing so chat to like-minded people who also have brilliant stories to share.
David: I love the medium and the pace of it. It’s as thrilling as working on live TV but in a different gear.
Which podcasts do you take inspiration from?
Iwan: There’s a number of different podcasts I like for different reasons but being a father of three at the moment I really love listening to Parenting Hell with Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe.
David: I Love SmartLess, The Rest is Entertainment, Not The Top 20 (NTT20) and Armchair Expert.
Who’s your dream guest for the podcast?
Iwan: I think my dream guest for Full Chat would be Valentino Rossi.
David: We’ve had some corkers so far but would I love Ewan McGregor or, on a totally unrelated non-bike vibe, Robert Plant. I LOVE (Led) Zeppelin!
What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learnt so far as a podcaster?
Iwan: The biggest lesson I’ve learned so far as a podcaster is don’t let Kriss Akabusi on the mic for too long!
David: More succinct questions!
Which episode would you say is the perfect introduction to your podcast?
Iwan: I’ve enjoyed all of our episodes so far, but if you want energy and excitement listen to the Kriss Akabusi one, which was our second episode.
David: Kriss Akabusi on episode two; energetic, irreverent and passionate!
Where can the Pod Bible readers find out more about you?
Iwan: Probably the best place to find out more about me would be on my social media, @iwanrunner.
David: Wherever you get your podcasts from, and via socials!

]]>The post Shayne and I: A podcast that doesn’t take life so seriously appeared first on POD BIBLE.
]]>Who are you and what’s your podcast about?
My name is Shayne and Max is my co-host – he is the “I” in Shayne and I. Our show is a comedy for people who don’t take life so seriously and want a laugh.
What’s the first podcast you ever listened to?
The first one I ever listened to was only a couple of years ago. A friend of mine said I would like this podcast called The Basement Yard. And I did! The host, Joe Santagato, just talks to his friend in, well, a basement. Listening to this gave me the idea that I could do something like that too. You know, not be so serious and just have a conversation.
Why did you decide to start podcasting in the first place?
We started out as a YouTube channel, doing something like 128 videos over a couple years. But it always seemed like the topics we covered were just for views. It felt like work and just wasn’t fun in the end. We realized that there’s so much more creative freedom in audio-only podcasts and that our show would be better served.
Which podcasts do you take inspiration from?
The Basement Yard of course. But also Congratulations with comedian Chris D’Elia and This Past Weekend with Theo Von. Both are really funny and inspire me to have fun too, without worrying too much about things like charts and reviews.
Who’s your dream guest for the podcast?
Theo Von. I’m not sure what we’d talk about but it’d be funny, that’s for sure.
What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learnt so far as a podcaster?
Understanding your audience I think. Getting burnt by YouTube taught me to stay in your lane. We aren’t a political show or true crime. It’s just comedy.
Which episode would you say is the perfect introduction to your podcast?
Maybe the one where we discuss what it would be like to be in witness protection? Or the friend who joined an online cult? No, I’d say this one – there’s a good story about a guy in a Marvel onesie.
