    “As an avid podcast listener and as a predominantly visual person our internal training at Pod črto with Susanne Reber revealed the amazing bowels of podcasting, details of production, how to grab attention and when to create suspense to keep the listener at their toes. Susanne's invaluable masterclass on new horizons of creative productions was the highlight of the previous winter, which affected us on more than a few levels.”
