Top Five Small Business Radio Podcasts

Note: Podcasts are suddenly red hot again in 2019, what with the advent of voice search.

But did you know that they were once hot more than a decade ago?  Yes, it’s true.  The introduction of Apple’s iPod and iTunes was a revolutionary way to listen to audio.

We were pioneers in podcasting way back in 2005 and 2006.  We did a weekly podcast where we interviewed small business owners, experts and movers and shakers.

I can still remember the tiny little iPod Nano we figured out how to use. It was so small!  And I got the first generation iPod Touch. It still works today, although it’s the only version without Bluetooth.

Of course, these days, most people just use a wireless speaker to listen to audio.  Or they use their phones on the go. In most ways the phone has become the all purpose device.

With that historical perspective, here is a blast from the past — from 13 years ago.
