Summary
 **The Retired Podcaster** is for anyone who has reached retirement — or is getting close — and has wondered whether they could make a podcast of their own. I’m David, I’m 73, retired, and I’ve spent much of my working life around radio, broadcasting and microphones. These days, I still make podcasts simply because I enjoy making audio and telling stories. In the first few episodes, I’ll take you through the basics of getting started: finding something to talk about, becoming comfortable with your own voice, making your first recording, choosing equipment, editing and eventually publishing your first podcast. After that, we’ll simply talk about podcasting — microphones, storytelling, interviewing, ideas, mistakes, things I’ve learned and whatever else seems worth discussing. There’s nothing to buy and no complicated formula to follow. Just one retired podcaster talking to another about how enjoyable making a podcast can be. You’re never too old to press record.Copyright 2026 David Pejčinović-Bailey MBE Personal Development Personal Success

    So, You’re Thinking About Starting a Podcast?
    Oct 3 2026

    Have you ever thought about starting a podcast, but wondered whether it’s really for you?

    Perhaps the technology seems complicated. Maybe you think podcasting is something younger people do. Or perhaps the biggest question is simply: what would I talk about?

    In this first episode of The Retired Podcaster, I’m David. I’m 73, retired, and I’ve spent much of my life around radio, broadcasting and microphones.

    We’ll talk about why retirement can actually be a rather good time to start a podcast, why you already have more stories and ideas than you might realise, and why you don’t need expensive equipment — or a “radio voice” — to begin.

    For now, forget microphones, hosting, RSS feeds and download numbers.

    Take out your phone, open the voice recorder and tell a story for five minutes.

    That’s enough.

    You’ve started.
