A Podcast worthy of your Time

There are so many pod-casts out there nowadays, it can really be hard to find one you enjoy and give your time to. For many reasons I never really got into pod-casts. Typically the info I consume online comes loose and quick.

But recently for an assignment I had in class I was asked to review a pod-cast in the technology sector. What I didn't realize was how many I was actually going to listen to before I found one I honestly wanted to share. Finally I did find one, so here it is!!


I found this cast buy doing a general search for "tech pod-casts' on Google. It was listed on www.pepfeed.com as one of the top 8 casts to listen to. It was 6th on the list but easily could have been #1.

The conversation took place with Jeff Weiner, who just happened to be the CEO of Linked-In. I thought that was pretty ironic due to the fact that this was for my social media class. He shared a brief history of how he came to be with Linked-In and some of his ideas about the social media landscape.

Perhaps it was his radio friendly voice or his message in general but I found the interview so inspirational. He was very calm, confident, and informative. I actually listened to it twice and currently it's playing in the background as I write this.

The host was a hoot!! You could tell she has had some really aggressive interviews just by the way she handled herself, but also that she was extremely knowledgeable which made the interview much more enjoyable.

If you have a little more than a half hour of time to spend, this is well worth it. I had a completely different idea of what most modern pod-casts could offer me in terms of insight and I'm happy to stand corrected with that fact.
