318 — Podcasts for workplace learning

Here at Mind Tools Towers, we love podcasts. We’ve produced our own for six years! But what role do they have to play in workplace learning?

This week on The Mind Tools Podcast, Ross G and Owen are joined by Adam Lacey from podcasts-for-learning-provider Assemble You. We discuss:

• The evolution of podcasts as a technology and as a market
• The solutions that now exist to organisational security barriers
• Workplace learning contexts where podcasts are ideal.

In ‘What I Learned This Week’, Owen discussed some internal insights from Meta’s development of VR application Horizon Worlds: theverge.com/2022/10/6/23391895/meta-facebook-horizon-worlds-vr-social-network-too-buggy-leaked-memo

 

Adam discussed decision-making speed, based on insights from the Brain Food newsletter: fs.blog/knowledge-project-podcast/

Ross G discussed the ‘digital dark age’, recently discussed on Twitter by @CulturalTutor: twitter.com/culturaltutor/status/1553789465881202690?s=21&t=aByJZxFkW0QeyyrF1nwcEg
