Podcasts are a great way to consume information on the go. Unlike videos, your eyes are free to focus on the task at hand like driving or cooking. Unlike seminars or classes, you don’t have to have a set schedule or go at someone else’ pace. You can pause it anytime and pick it back right up like a book but without having to carry that paper sandwich that’s killing the environment. And there’s no one on the go like the modern business person, where being up to date with business trends and new information are essential. However, with so many other things to do and manage, any way to make it easier to do is a blessing.  So here are our top picks for podcasts you should listen to as a modern business person.
