In this episode, Jesse gets tactical and explores a specific method of engaging with external audiences such as customers, as well as with internal audiences such as employees. His special guests for this episode are two pioneers of podcasting:

  • Cliff Ravenscraft: Cliff has been podcasting since 2005, and as the Podcast Answer Man he has been consulting and teaching others to podcast since 2007.
  • Jonathan Mast: Jonathan hosted what was arguably the first completely internal podcast from 2005-2008, a weekly employee podcast for Sedgwick Claims Management Services. Today he provides social media services at the global consulting firm Black & Veatch.

Joined by Cliff and Jonathan, Jesse addresses these questions:

  • What is a podcast?
  • How can a podcast be used to reach a wide audience?
  • How can a podcast be more effective in engaging people than other forms of media?
  • How can a podcast be used ‘internally’ within an organization or business?
