From personal catastrophe to a niche, highly valuable podcast audience - Russel Wasserfall from A Table in the Corner

Loading player...
Welcome to Season 2 of How to Make a Podcast in South Africa.
In this season we're talking to members of the South African Podcasters Guild about how THEY make a podcast in South Africa.
We uncover the stories and the host behind the podcasts, learn how they create their unique magic, and how they're growing their shows.

In episode 1 we're talking to Russel Wasserfall, who produces the award-winning show "A Table In the Corner". Russel covers the everything related to food in South Africa, interviewing top chefs, farmers, butchers, food critics, baristas, brewers, and more.

His show has grown from strength to strength, attracting a growing audience of industry professionals and devoted foodies. A Table in the Corner is a true success story in South African Podcasting, and Russel's has beaten a track through the wilderness that other podcasters could very well follow.

If you'd like to listen to A Table in the Corner, clicky the linky.
And if you'd like to hear more about Russel specifically, you'll find a special, autobiographical episode in which I took over his show and interviewed him for the benefit of his listeners.
