Either to learn new things or to get entertained, one reason that podcasts have been so popular is that they allow multi-tasking. We listen to them while commuting or driving to work, working out, or even doing housework. As professionals in the business continuity and resilience industry, we love to be updated with latest news and events and podcasts are an easy way to catch up on these.
