It’s no secret, Podcasts are my favourite way of learning about a market. There is an intimacy to the communication that can’t be beat.

When you think about it – typically, you’re speaking with your best friends on the phone. Their voice, direct into your ear. Podcasts use the same senses, so I wonder if this the secret to their power.

There’s one thing I’m certain of, people who listen to your podcast are your best tribe members. It does take a certain comittment to listen to a podcast and if they’re prepared to do it. You should honor them.

Due to an earlier incident on the podcast, as faithfully reinacted in this movie, I’m not sure we will ever do well in New Zealand.

But Enough About Me.

Rather than recommend specific podcasts to subscribe to – I thought I’d highlight particular episodes I’ve really enjoyed.

Pro Tip – I use the app Pocket Casts on my iPhone to mange my podcast listening. There ‘s also an Android version and it’s hands down the best way to get and manage podcasts.
