Have You Heard These Business Podcasts?

Podcasts are increasing in popularity, and there are shows available on almost every topic. Some podcasts are intended to entertain while others provide in-depth social and political commentary, and others still are used to market and sell products and services. Podcasts are also excellent resources for learning, and for staying up to date with the latest trends. Because you can download them and listen at your own convenience, podcasts are a portable and flexible way to consume information. I listen in the car and on walks with my dog, as well as at home.

In the business category there are several excellent podcasts to choose from. Here are a few of my favorites:
