1. Podcasts are an easy & convenient way to consume information, be entertained or both.
You can listen to a podcast whilst doing a whole host of things, for example when exercising, cleaning the house and on your commute to work. It’s so different to watching TV, a YouTube video or scrolling on Instagram as these activities take your full focus and attention, and it’s easy to get distracted from the things you maybe should be doing. With a podcast, the audio is portable and easy to listen to at your convenience on the go or at home. They also enrich your time, rather than hinder it. When I listen to an educational podcast on my way to work, I could have learnt 10 new things before arriving at the office, how great is that?
So, from a business perspective, if you like to give your clients or customers information about your business / industry or you have a topic to discuss, a podcast could be a great way to offer this information in a fun and easy to digest way which you may have previously done in a blogpost, newsletter or via social media.
