Mark Hunter is a Scottish-based podcaster. He started the tartanpodcast in March 2005 quickly following it with the Sleepy Sunday Show and The Spotlight Show. The tartanpodcast was the first music-based podcast from Scotland.
The summer of 2006 saw him start The Mellow Monday Show.
Production of the tartanpodcast, a showcase music podcast for Scottish indie bands, ended in June 2007 after 110 episodes. Following a one-off episode in October, the tartanpodcast returned as a regular show in February 2008.
Mark tried to keep a down to earth production standard for the tartanpodcast, referring to himself as 'just a guy', living and working in Glasgow, Scotland.
An article on the BBC Technology site from June 5th 2005 raised the profile of the tartanpodcast. Several podcasters have since attributed their decision to start their own podcast to reading this article.
Mark was approached late in December 2007 and asked to become managing director of new media production company Podcastmatters Ltd, where he currently works.

Famous quotes containing the words mark and/or hunter:
““Ask the perfumers, ask the blacking-makers, ask the hatters, ask the old lottery-office keepers—ask any man among ‘em what my poetry has done for him, and mark my words, he blesses the name of Slum. If he’s an honest man, he raises his eyes to heaven, and blesses the name of Slum—mark that!”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“Verily, the Indian has but a feeble hold on his bow now; but the curiosity of the white man is insatiable, and from the first he has been eager to witness this forest accomplishment. That elastic piece of wood with its feathered dart, so sure to be unstrung by contact with civilization, will serve for the type, the coat-of-arms of the savage. Alas for the Hunter Race! the white man has driven off their game, and substituted a cent in its place.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
