Recently, we looked at some forthcoming and just-released business books we’re especially looking forward to reading—because after all, fall is the perfect time to tune-up and develop new ideas. In that spirit of intellectual excitement, we present our roundup of three enlightening podcasts that we strongly recommend, all available free of charge on iTunes.

Recent highlights include a segment called, “Read Fiction and Be a Better Leader”, with Harvard Business School professor Joseph Badaracco, and an interview with Michael Raynor, Director at Deloitte Services LP, on the topic of why some companies are prosperous and others are not. From marketing and public relations to sales, strategy, and technology, the IdeaCast remains relevant, thought provoking, and valuable for businesses across industries.

 

The Engaging Brand.logoworks-engaging-brand Hosted by Anna Farmery—a leading social marketing architect based in the U.K.—The Engaging Brand covers all things brand marketing, with a focus on new thinking in business and social media. Informative and inspiring, Farmery brings a notably thoughtful and in-depth approach to her interviews—and she speaks with some of the best and the brightest in today’s marketing industry, from bestselling authors to business leaders, neuroscientists, and beyond. Covering such themes as the psychology of perception, how to develop a signature brand voice, best practices for online innovation, and connecting with customers, The Engaging Brand proves to be a consistently compelling listen.

Such episodes as “4 Steps To Grow Your Innovation Skills;” “The 3 Tricks to Strategic Storytelling;” and “Why Innovation Should Be Important to the Small Business Owner” all provide crucial wisdom for how to build your own innovation toolkit and stay on the cutting-edge in your business sector.
