Send us Fan Mail

Nigel Nicholson is one of the most influential voices behind media in Trinidad & Tobago — founder of Star Broadcasting and the man responsible for training some of the biggest personalities on radio today.

In this episode, we go deep into the fundamentals of broadcasting that most people overlook — from why reading is the “miracle cure” for confidence, to the real skill of connecting with an audience, and why you can’t hide behind the music forever.

We also reflect on my own journey through his program — from struggling with nerves and public speaking to building The Corie Sheppard Podcast — and the lessons that still shape how I approach every interview today.

This conversation is about more than radio. It’s about discipline, preparation, authenticity, and what it really takes to build a voice that people want to listen to.

Topics include:

The real fundamentals of great broadcasting

Why reading improves confidence, vocabulary, and delivery

How to make guests comfortable in interviews

The importance of authenticity and performance

The evolution of radio vs podcasting

What young media talent gets wrong today

Behind-the-scenes of building media careers

Whether you’re into radio, podcasting, content creation, or public speaking — this episode is a masterclass.
