Your Masterclass guide.
Hi, I’m James Pattison.
I’ve spent 15+ years crafting stories of all kinds. As a TV and radio journalist at ABC Radio National and The Project. As a marketing and communications advisor at Monash University. And now at Miniature, a Melbourne podcast production house that helps brands and experts make compelling podcasts.
In the Podcast Masterclass, I work with small groups (up to 7 people) to help you create a practical plan to bring your podcast to life.
Running this Masterclass is one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. There’s no better feeling than helping new podcast-makers develop a series concept, as well as arming them with the tools to make it happen.
I look forward to welcoming you to our next class, and making your podcast dream a reality.
Happy Podcast Alumni.

“For anyone in the seedling stages of podcast planning, particularly within an organisation where you need to build a case and secure resources, this Masterclass offers the kind of structured guidance that can save you months of false starts.
This practical grounding is invaluable when you're moving from "we should do a podcast" to actually making it happen within an organisational context.
I'd recommend this for anyone who needs to turn a podcast idea into a launch-ready plan they can present with confidence.”

“What I love about working with James is that he’s not just technically brilliant - he also brings real emotional intelligence to the creative process.
For me, that’s meant recognising that launching something new isn’t just about strategy or structure - it’s about moving through self-doubt and giving yourself permission to create something meaningful.”

If you are one of these, you’re the right fit:
+ You've got expertise people would pay to hear and no idea how to package it.
+ You run a business or a practice and you want a show that brings the right people to you.
+ You're inside an organisation and you need to turn "we should do a podcast" into a plan you can put in front of someone who controls a budget.
+ Or you've already recorded a couple of episodes and they didn't sound right.
