Ep 65: JCMS Podcasts - "Behind the Curtain" with podcaster and journalist David McGuffin

June 29, 2023

The first ever JCMS live podcast took place at the Canadian Dermatology Association annual conference in June. In front of a live audience, host Kirk Barber sat down with the CDA podcast producer David McGuffin for a look into the world of podcasting. They discuss David's journey from CBC international reporter and war correspondent, to his work as a Senior Producer at NPR as it became a crucible for the podcasting boom, and then starting his own podcast production company and working with the CDA. It's a fascinating discussion full of questions and answers about this new, fast growing medium and what the future holds for it.

David McGuffin has been a broadcasting professional for over thirty years, working as a reporter and producer for CBC, NPR, CTV, BBC, NBC and PBS. As a foreign correspondent, he reported from over 40 countries, including conflict zones in Afghanistan, Somalia, Sudan, Congo, Mali and more. He is the founder and executive producer of Explore Podcast Productions in Ottawa.
