About

There are thousands of podcasts on the web, enjoyed by millions every day on their commute, at home or work, exercising and countless other places.

MetaPod unpacks the web’s most interesting podcasts and the stories behind them. Each episode is an in-depth interview with a different podcast host or creator.

All of our guests have a backstory – ranging from their passion for a particular subject, to how they investigated an issue or incident.

MetaPod gets into those stories to discover what inspires the people who create and present podcasts, and all of the twists and turns they encounter along the way.

MetaPod was created by Wendy Morrill and Kevin May and launched in January 2021.

About Wendy

Wendy works at an international travel trade association. Her friends and enemies appreciate her love of baking, interest in new and old music and skeptical sense of humor. Before moving to the old Amsterdam, where she currently resides, Wendy lived in the new Amsterdam. She grew up in a different new place called New Hampshire. If you need a recipe for chocolate chip cookies, she can help you.

About Kevin

Kevin has somehow managed to be employed for over 25 years as a journalist, covering everything from crime, politics, media and, since 2005, travel and its intersection with technology. He’s the former Editor-In-Chief of US-based PhocusWire, although he mostly sits at home in the UK. Kevin’s accident rate on a mountain bike is worryingly high for a 40-something who should know better and he’s also spent far too long co-authoring a biography about electronic music pioneers Depeche Mode. Kevin is suspicious of people who do not like Marmite.
