Podcasts are a great way to find out more about any sailing topic – they’re basically pre-recorded radio shows or interviews that you can either listen to live online or download to your iPod or pc to listen to at your convenience.
If you’re in the business then why not consider making a podcast yourself? It’s technically very simple and a great way to enhance your brand and attract customers.
So why put up with the dreary news on the journey to work? Just download, listen and imagine you’re out on the water.
