Podcasts in the Time of Covid

We're all digital evangelists now. During this Covid crisis we've all become Zoom aficionados, Facetime experts and live online training participants.

The question is, what will our habits be like post-Covid?

For clients who are embracing podcasts and digital audio during this time of flux it is obvious, through the ease of use of recording and distribution, that they will become a standard form of communication and messaging.

Our clients such as Teagasc, Laya, McNulty Performance amongst others are increasing their podcast output and seeing increased engagement and appetite from internal and external audiences.

Reaching out at this time has never been more important and podcasts are the perfect medium for now and into the future.

In a few weeks/months we will all have embraced the digital-first culture and accepted podcasts and digital audio as an important part of that landscape.

Now is the time to start or expand on that journey.
