The Women Talking About Learning Podcast

For many years, Pilar Orti  has run her voiceover career in parallel to all her other ventures. She ran a small theatre company for ten years, and then became a trainer, facilitator and consultant. Her voiceover credits include the Spanish voice of the WiiFit and GoJetters' Xuli.

She's now also a podcast host, having been hosting the 21st Century Work Life podcast for Virtual not Distant for five years, and co-hosting My Pocket Psych and Facilitation Stories (IAF England and Wales).

Pilar's now looking into how in-house podcasting can help companies create a sense of community amongst their dispersed employees.
