About This Podcast

Stop Rewind Play is the podcast for people in publishing, journalism, and media who care about making better audio. Hosted by me, journalist and freelance podcast producer Suze Cooper, this fortnightly show offers insights into the fast-moving world of podcasting - whether you’re responsible for audio strategy, creation or just trying to keep your show on track. Each short episode distils what’s happening in the industry, and why it matters - drawing on real-world experience in production, audience strategy, and emerging tools like AI. You’ll also get highlights from the Rewind link library - a handpicked roundup of the most useful, thought-provoking, or just plain weird audio news of the week. Stop Rewind Play is the audio companion to my Substack of the same name. Head to stoprewindplay.substack.com for weekly newsletters.
