Dorset Biz News comes under the spotlight in the latest Keep Calm & Corona On podcast.
Host Joe Hayes quizzes Andrew Diprose, Founder & Editor, about our website, how we source stories and our editorial approach to reporting the coronavirus pandemic.
Keep Calm & Corona On provides advice and guidance to small and medium sized businesses in areas such as HR, PR, law and finance.
The podcast is produced and managed by Podcast Labs and St James Studio, both based in Westbourne.
Kelly Butler, Podcast Labs’ Marketing Director, said: “It came about the week before lockdown when we saw everyone panicking and businesses struggling.
“We wondered what we would want to know ourselves as small business owners, and how we could help other businesses keep moving forward.
“So we joined forces and pulled in a bunch of experts we would want to talk to ourselves to ask their guidance on their particular subject area.
“The aim is always to be insightful, helpful but also positive – looking at opportunities and how to adapt your business to survive without focusing on the medical or health side at all or downplay what was happening across the world.”
Previous guests have included one of the professors helping to create coronavirus antibody tests at Iceni Diagnostics.
