I listen to podcasts all day while I’m working. iTunes syncs to my phone, so I listen while I’m running errands as well. Will and I listen to podcasts as we drift off to sleep each night.
I listen to a lot of podcasts.
As an avid listener, I want to share some of my favorites with you. This week, podcasts for business owners:
Brilliant Business Moms – Nope, this isn’t an announcement that a wee Swyter is coming. While hosts Sarah Korhnak and Beth Anne Schwamberger are both mothers and interview other mothers, there’s something here for anyone looking to start or grow a home business. I really like the format of this podcast. Each week they interview a new entrepreneur and then follow-up with an episode about implementing something that guest mentioned (e.g., guest posting, defining your target market).
StartUp – Alex Blumberg from This American Life and Planet Money (two Helena Swyter favorites) chronicles his journey starting a podcasting company. You get to listen in as he pitches to venture capitalists and chooses a name for his company. The episode where he negotiates ownership percentages with his potential partner is like pulling up a chair to an awkward first date. It’s raw, real, and completely fantastic.
Elise Gets Crafty – As with the StartUp Podcast, I followed a content-creator I love (Elise Blaha Cripe) into her newest venture as soon as the podcast was announced. Elise interviews other crafters and bloggers about getting inspired, staying motivated, and creating a life they love.
Slate’s Working – This one’s newer, but I’m loving it so far. David Plotz interviews various people about their jobs. I loved hearing about how Stephen Colbert assesses his live audience before the show even begins and how a Pastor has to be “on” even when he’s at the grocery store buying chicken. I’m of the opinion that you can learn something from everyone’s story. Plus, I’m a bit of a voyeur.
Check out other podcasts I’ve recommended here.
Jason Castillo says
I’m downloading some of these right now. Thanks, Helena!
My personal recent favorite podcast is Adventures in Design (http://www.adventuresindesignmarket.com/). The recent episodes have been similar to the description of Startup in that the host, Mark Brickey, has been trying to find a way to turn the podcast into his job. And this process has been documented heavily on the show. Most of the episodes are about illustration, printmaking and the crafting world but I think any one who enjoys listening to people talk about the challenges of owning their own small business would enjoy it.
Just an FYI though the hosts and guests do not censor themselves so if you don’t enjoy some Rated-R humor and language like I do, it may not be for you.
Helena says
Oh awesome, I will look into this one! R-Rated words are totally fine. 🙂
