LinkedIn is leaning into the rising popularity of podcasts with the launch of its new ‘LinkedIn Podcast Network’ where it will host a range of shows focused on key professional trends, created by both internal staff and external experts.
As explained by LinkedIn:
“Starting today, we’re piloting an exciting new way for you to connect with leading professional voices with the launch of the LinkedIn Podcast Network. With this pilot you’ll have access on LinkedIn to programming and conversations from industry leading creators such as Morra Aarons-Mele, Jonathan Fields, and Mita Mallick and Dee C. Marshall, as well as shows created in-house by LinkedIn News.”
Indeed, LinkedIn has tapped a broad range of established creators for its podcast network launch, including veteran tech journalist Alex Kantrowitz and author Jonathan Fields.
All of LinkedIn’s podcasts will be available on LinkedIn, by following each podcast host in the app and subscribing to their newsletter, while listeners will also be able to tune in via Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or any other audio provider.
The main lure that LinkedIn’s looking to highlight is that by connecting with these hosts on LinkedIn, you’ll be able to extend the conversation beyond the passive listening experience.
It could definitely be worth tuning in, with the LinkedIn staff-hosted podcasts also, potentially, offering new insight into coming features and additions.
