Business Podcast With Updated Industry News
By Dirk C Wallace
"Business Podcast... sounds like a Gen-Y thing," your
colleagues may say. It’s true that Web 2.0 formats like social
networking sites Myspace, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn attract
a largely younger crowd.
However, in recent years, older entrepreneurs are recognizing
the value of gathering stock information or providing advisory
services in an interesting, engaging way. "The listening
audience for Podcasting is not the 18-year-olds with their iPods
so much as it is people a little bit older," says Stephen
Malaster of www.streetiq.com.
"They’re finding demographics in the mid-30s; your typical,
well-educated MAC user. My mother, who is in her late 60s likes
to listen to Podcasts on cooking and travel."
New Podcasts Each Week
According to US News & World Report, there is an investment
business podcast for everyone. Writer Katy Marquardt recommends
"Money Girl: Part of the Quick & Dirty Tips series,"
which has a new show each week regarding investing mistakes, scams,
stock info and personal finance advice.
"Wallstrip" (owned by CBS) has stock information and
market analysis presented in a humorous way, with segments examining
True Religion jeans, online communities like www.dogster.com
and more.
Staying Informed About Latest Developments
"Mad Money Machine" is hosted by a big Jim Cramer fan
and reviews the latest Mad Money recommendations weekly. "The
Disciplined Investor," hosted by Andrew Horowitz, is for
independent financial advisors and stock investors who want to
remain informed.
It can be difficult to choose a business podcast that really
engages you, especially when there are so many different focuses.
One type of podcast is aimed at management advisory and leadership
skills building.
Top Podcasts
According to Staci Wood at Small Business Trends Radio, the top
podcasts in this area include the Business Explained Podcast by
Stever Robbins (which delivers timely business news from an executive
standpoint); MeetInnovators with Adrian Bye (interviews with the
most influential managers); DishyMix with Susan Bratton (lessons
from individuals in advertising, marketing and social media);
Help! My Business Sucks! with Andrew Lock (a controversial podcast
helping entrepreneurs get more done while still having fun); Total
Picture Radio with Peter Clayton (empowerment interviews); Harvard
Business Ideacast (suggestions from management leaders); and Project
Management War Stores with Wayne Thompson (interviews with business
leaders).
Keeping Up With Industry News
A business podcast can sometimes serve as a new financial advisor.
Many investors don’t feel comfortable getting all of their investment
advice from just one person, so they keep up with industry news
on their own. That way, they can bring pertinent questions to
the financial advisor who manages their account.
They may ask about transferring to a burgeoning area or getting
their money out of a dying stock. The best way for individuals
to protect themselves is to listen to the latest business/investment
news from a variety of sources and make their own informed decisions.

Did You Know This About Computer Training?
Computer training is absolutely essential these days. There are
not many businesses or homes that do not have a computer system
installed. If you are new to the computer world, it can seem very
frustrating.
But, look at it as a chance to learn. You need to know how to
use a computer and some of the more popular software packages.
And you have choices on how you get the training that you need.
You can go to college, have someone show you or you can learn
on your own.
