Course Overview

Podcasts are a relatively new entrant into the realm of business communication tools, but their use and acceptance is rising at an incredibly fast pace.

Podcasts are video or audio-based broadcast presentations. Generally they fall into two categories: Onetime programs on a specific issue or topic; or ongoing “serial” discussions about an issue. For example, a lawyer might create a one-time podcast on the impact of a change to the tax code, but also create a series of podcasts about tax law issues in general.

Podcasts are a more personal version of blogs. They are typically marketed via the firm website, a blog or on websites that cater to people interested in particular subjects. As such they can be excellent tools to use to demonstrate expertise to prospective clients.

This e-course covers three components to successful use of podcasts. First, we walk students through the process of creating and using them. Second, we discuss several specific uses for marketing and revenue- generation. Third, we provide an ethics-based best- practices guide for using podcasts properly within the bounds of accepted legal industry business practices.
