8. BEHIND THE SCENES - James Buttler chats about podcasting in Yorkshire and his role at YPS

It is Episode 8 of the Behind The Scenes Podcast from Yorkshire Podcast Studios (YPS). In this edition we find out all about YPS's very own James Buttler and his journey into podcasting and broadcasting.

The Behind The Scenes Podcast pulls back the curtain and reveals what really goes into creating standout podcasts and media content. Hosted by the YPS team, each episode offers an informal, insightful, and often humorous look at the world of podcasting, content creation, and everything in between.

In this episode, we meet James Butler, co-host, YPS producer, and “cricket badger”. He shares his unique journey from housing manager to seasoned sports journalist, broadcaster, and podcast producer.

James has worn many hats, from media manager at Yorkshire Cricket to podcasting over 600 episodes of his globally ranked Cricket Badger podcast. His story is a testament to the power of reinvention and following your passions.

The podcast isn’t just about personal journeys though, it’s about helping others tell their own stories. James and host David Easson reflect on their shared mission at YPS, which is to make podcasting accessible, enjoyable, and effective for everyone. Whether you're a business promoting a brand, a creator with a niche passion, or a first-timer finding your voice, YPS is built to support and guide you.

From practical tips on scripting (or not scripting), being natural on camera, and conducting interviews, to anecdotes about live radio mishaps and behind-the-scenes studio life, Behind the Scenes delivers real talk about real podcasting. It’s also a celebration of how podcasting can empower people, whether they’re timber merchants or top athletes, to connect with audiences and tell authentic stories.

So, if you’re curious about podcasting or thinking of creating your own, tune in, laugh along, and come see what Yorkshire Podcast Studios can do for you. We’re more than a studio, we’re your podcasting partners.
