This brand-new, unscripted video podcast from Visual PR Productions showcases genuine, conversation-led storytelling that connects people through creativity, curiosity, and laughter. Each episode highlights real journeys, inspiring insights, and the value of authentic video content.

In this first episode, host Chris Dawes, professional motorsports commentator and founder of Visual PR Productions, is joined by Tom Cottam, Visual PR’s Lead Video Editor and Producer, for an open discussion about Tom’s remarkable career change – from teaching computer science to working full-time in film and video production.

• How Visual PR’s Swindon studio was built and continuously improved
• The power of video to transform communication, marketing, and training content
