The rest of that song (and indeed the one in the title of this blog) is somewhat problematic in 2020, but you get the point.

In actual fact, you’ve almost certainly got podcast conferences on your mind.

PodComms 2020 on Weds July 29th to be precise – a virtual session dedicated to the use of podcasts in corporate communications. I know I have. It’s sponsored by us, and will be full of tips, tricks and fascinating speakers (and me) about how to turn your brand into a great original podcast.

Enjoy.
