This presentation is on the topic of using podcast episodes as a way to produce quality content for the firm.  Many larger firms are still sending out newsletters.  However, a podcast provides the attorney (or a group of attorneys) an opportunity to discuss a particular topic at a much deeper level.  It highlights the expertise of the firm and is more interactive than a blog post or newsletter article.  Firms with multiple practice groups can easily use a custom-branded podcast to promote various attorneys or specific areas of knowledge.

Audio content is growing in popularity for many reasons, which is explained in the presentation.  A timeline of Google’s interest and promotion of podcast content will be included.
