LAB Talk: Navigating the Podcast Movement
FEBRUARY 2020
Moderated by Levi Weinhagen (Yes, That Levi) with Twila Dang (Matriarch Digital Media), CJ Fortier (Blunt Cuts), Elizabeth Ries (Best to the Nest) and Beth Gibbs (PodMN).
Let’s take a look at the Podcast Movement. Podcasts are crazy popular. Often with cult-like followings. They are a trending component of content strategy that is consistently discussed and debated by every company and thought leader. Should we, shouldn’t we, can we?…what’s worthy content?...what makes one successful?...can it be an effective revenue stream?
There are so many questions, resources and great content in our local market - and we are excited to have these local experts help us navigate this conversation and learn more!
