Podcasts – A Great Way of Keeping Up to Date
I am not sure how many of you regularly listen to podcasts however i am an avid fan of them. When i go running, i plug the ipod nano in a listen to podcasts from around the world. I also take my iPod nano with me when i am travelling so i can keep up to date.
Now what are the sort of podcasts is listen to. Well they tend to be news, views and opinions from the US and the UK and generally relating to business as well as current affairs. it allows me to stay on top of what is really happening rather than spending time in front of the TV wading through rubbish. I am particularly interested in the more insightful analysis podcasts such as the Economist provide.
Recently i gave each of the business managers who attended the REA Group Brussels Conference an MP3 player loaded with articles from the Harvard Business Review. I found them to be thoughtful, insightful and chocked full of useful tips i could implement.
The other podcasts i listen to are:
NPR – Business Story of the Day
Business Week
The Economist
60 Minutes
The New York Times Headlines
The Wall Street Journal
These can all be found on iTunes. Enjoy! What are your favourite business / news related podcasts?
