This morning at the Triangle Social Media Club, Kipp Bodnar led the group’s discussion regarding the business applications of podcasting.

I will attempt to recap some of our highlights for those who couldn’t wake up at 8am

For those companies or individuals that may be determining whether or not to start a podcast, the group consensus was that an evaluation of assets is necessary. The following are some questions to ask:

• Do you have interesting content?


• Who cares?


• What is the information value? Are you providing valuable information at no cost?


• What is your dedication for keeping it going?

Additionally, we also defined the following specific business benefits to podcasting, listed below:

• Extra SEO Juice (thanks to video/audio)


• Brand Building/Image Changing


• Portability (providing on-demand information)


• Affordability


• Ease of Use


• Long Shelf Life

Like I said, these are tidbits, so feel free to continue the conversation by adding additional thoughts in our comments section below.

I also wanted to say thanks again to everyone for coming and contributing to a great discussion. Hope to see you next month!
