Radio Today Podcast Reviews

Each week Radio Today features Podcast Reviews a look at some of the best radio related podcasts available.

Podcasting increases your reach and profile. In this era of self-distribution Podcasts are a great way to market yourself and showcase your work.

If you’re in radio you should be doing podcasts. If your station or network aren’t organising them then you should be doing yourself. Podcasting quality and listenership is growing rapidly.

You can check all the podcasts mentioned via  iTunes, Pocketcasts, Overcast and other apps. This week we look at some of the ABC’s offerings – we featured Richard Fidler early but here’s a few others worth a look.
