Podcast Search
The following is a review of the "Podcast Searching" resource:

What is the name of the resource? | "Podcast Searching" |
---|---|
How do you access it? | I am recommending to you a few Podcast search sites which I found to have the most relevant search results. I have listed them in the table below. I will alsop provide links to 3 of my favorite banking-related podcasts. |
When should you use it? | Podcasts are just an alternate way of getting up-to-date industry news. You can search for your favorite podcast feeds and listen to them when they become available. |
What type of information does it provide? | Podcast search engines provide you with links to various podcast feeds. |
How do you make it work? | Search for a query related to the industry. For example, in VideoSurf, I searched for "the economy", and had plenty of podcasts and videos to choose from. |
What grade do I give it? | C |
Why? | Podcasts are great, since the audio aspect adds a whole new dimension of feeling and emotion that you can't get in reading a news article or a commentary piece. However, I have found that the podcast search outlets are weak in producing relevant results. I would just stick to reading articles and editorials - they are more up to date, can be reviewed faster, and are typically more relevant. |
