Podcasts can extend the reach of your business coverage and open up new ways to involve and educate the audience in your space. But what makes a great podcast? On SABEW’s next teletraining session, you’ll hear a panel of experts discuss strategies for delivering engaging podcasts, learn about proven storytelling techniques and discover how to measure the success of your segments.

Contributing to this training session is a business reporter who launched his newsroom’s inaugural podcast series just last year; a podcast host with 30 years of broadcasting experience and a talent coach that helps journalists with voice and on-air performance issues.

Whether you’re already putting together podcasts or are just thinking about it, this training session is for you.
