A business podcast might be set up in any number of ways. Some offer short tidbits of information and cover trending business topics in the news. Others offer guides on how to start or grow your business, or they may contain motivational content. Some business podcasts are focused on specific audiences, such as women or minorities, while others might be geared toward entrepreneurs in general. Business podcasts also can serve as entertainment through storytelling, and they can be interesting background noise while performing tasks at work.
