I recently sent a friend with a long work commute a list of podcasts I’m listening to lately, so I figured I’d share them here as well as an update from my previous list since I’ve added and subtracted a few podcasts since then. They’re amazing things, podcasts. They have the ability to completely transform you into a new world, enabling you to learn about new things along the way. It comes as no surprise that many businesses are now deciding to enlist the help of a podcast producer to help create their own. As many people are now listening to them on their commute home, it will be a great way for businesses to get themselves on the map to market their own products and services. I’d definitely make this decision if I was a business owner. And telling your friends about them is another way to get your business recognized. What could be better? So, anyway, find out about some of my favorite podcasts below.
