Podcasts For Learning With Shannon Martin from Podbean

View descriptionShare

As podcasting grows, in terms of listeners and the number of podcasts available, the opportunity for internal use in organisations is also growing. This has been an area that many in L&D have been experimenting with as a new channel and another modern way of sharing messages and insights. In this episode we explore examples of what’s working well in some organisations and tips for getting going with podcasting.

 KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Podcasting is one of the fastest-growing areas of content development. They are swift to deploy in service of a defined need.
  • If seeking to deploy podcast content, we should always aim to experiment rather than launch as a new commitment. This can lead to the feeling of wearing a millstone.
  • Podcast listening is up 40% over the last three years. At Podbean alone, over 100,000 podcasts were begun in 2020.
  • There is no gatekeeper for the world of podcasting, allowing for a surfeit of creativity. This also allows listeners to tune in to more specific niches.

BEST MOMENTS

'A lot of people found their creative vibe during lockdown'

'See if it gets you the results you seek, and not just some attention'

'More Americans listen to podcasts every week that attend religious services'

'Podcasts really foster independent creation'
