The history

Talkshow Media LLC was formed by Jonathan Halls and is based in Alexandria, VA.  Jonathan is an adjunct professor at one of America's leading universities and a speaker and writer on the topics of media, learning and leadership. 

He was formerly head of the BBC's prestigious Production Training Department, where he ran the corporation's television, radio and new media training.  The multi-million dollar operation with 50 staff and 200 contractors is probably the largest professional media trainer in Europe.

When he left the BBC, he started Talkshow Communication Ltd in London, UK.  Talkshow Communication provided multimedia training for Newsplex at some of Europe's leading newspapers.  In 2009 he moved from the UK to the US, closing his London company and starting Talkshow Media LLC in the Washington DC area.

Talkshow Media has trained people from organizations including OfficeMax, the State Department, ASTD, Microsoft, Verizon, BJs, AIG and Comcast.

Experts in focused multimedia

We’re different from many media training companies for a number of reasons.  These differences are driven by our core values as a media training company.

First, we're content rather than technology specialists.  Our expertise lies in helping you understand how to give your message more impact.  We're not into the bells and whistles in fancy software programs - just your content and how it achieves your objective.

Second, our trainers are qualified vocational learning professionals.  We don't just roll up to the training room and "run a course".  We use the science of learning and performance improvement to make sure you leave us with the skills to produce sensational content.

Third, all of our trainers have worked at the world's leading media companies.  These  include the BBC, NBC and ABC.  They're experienced both as practitioners and trainers.  They don't teach out of a textbook - they teach from experience in the real world.

Fourth, Talkshow trainers have been teaching multimedia for decades.  In fact, since a decade ago when many people thought the Web was just a passing fad.  They've seen it develop and understand both the context and the substance of what they teach.
