Turning Your Training Expertise
into Internal/Company Podcasts
Internal podcasts are gaining traction as a fresh way to actively engage your learning audience—but where do you begin?
Join us for a collaborative session where panelists share how they’ve used podcasting to boost external engagement as well as connect with specific audiences inside their firms. We will discuss actionable tools, real world examples, practical ideas, and ways to repurpose your existing training content into engaging resources you can use to kick-start podcasting at your firm. No prior experience required.
Whether you are podcast-curious or ready to plug in a mic, you’ll leave with tools, takeaways, and a few ideas that could have you podcasting by Monday.
