Travelling for business is a necessary part of lots of people’s roles. When you’re on the road the days can sometimes be long and tiring but inevitably, often very productive.
In those windows of calm where your eyes can no longer look at your laptop, when you have hit the hotel gym for a morning workout or you’re on that long flight and need to keep your mind active, podcasts can be a brilliant tool to offer inspiration, education and entertainment.
They aren’t a new thing of course, over the last two decades the broadcast medium has evolved almost beyond recognition, with podcasts now available on most topics you could ever imagine.
