Steve Neal Hits the Podcast Scene (And Survives His First Appearance!)

Steve Neal recently stepped into the world of podcasts for the very first time – bravely taking a seat opposite host Tish Hyland from Middlebrook Productions at the Worcestershire Festival of Business 2026.

Recorded at the Worcester Warriors Rugby Ground at Sixways (no tackling involved, thankfully), the podcast captures a relaxed and friendly conversation – proof that IT conversations don’t always have to sound like you’re rebooting a server.

In the episode, Steve shares his journey into IT, offering listeners a behind-the-scenes look at how it all began and how he eventually founded Tapcast. From his early days figuring things out to navigating the ups and downs of running a business, Steve’s story shows that success is part persistence, part passion… and probably a fair amount of coffee.

Steve also dishes out practical tips and tricks from his years in the industry – useful insights for anyone looking to make technology work for them, rather than the other way around.

The conversation also touches on the types of businesses Tapcast loves working with. It’s all about finding the right fit and building partnerships, especially when technology actually makes life easier rather than more complicated.

Tapcast would like to give a big thank you to Tish Hyland and Middlebrook Productions for putting Steve at ease and creating such an enjoyable, open conversation. No awkward silences, no tech meltdowns—just a genuinely good chat.
