What are ECI listening to? Our self-isolation podcast recommendations

There are a lots of sports podcasts I could recommend, including Tailenders for an alternative look at cricket and That Peter Crouch Podcast for an inside look on the world of professional football, but I think the best all round one is Fighting Talk. Guests compete for points for their punditry and for wit, but points are also taken away for nonsense and answers lacking in conviction – so its always a fun take on the volatile world of sports and guaranteed to make you laugh.”

I find podcasts a great way to get inspiration and ideas that we can use to shape our investment decisions or deploy into portfolio companies to drive growth – HBR Ideacast, which features leading thinkers from across a range of fields, is a good one. Topics are quite wide ranging, which keeps it interesting, covering everything from leadership, management, digital transformation and innovation, and everything in between”.

I am an avid podcast listener, so love them for daily news updates as well in-depth stories. Dissect is a slightly different but really interesting music podcast which examines a single album per season, one song per episode. That means it’s a forensic deep dive into all the lyrics and its themes – it will make you listen to albums in a whole new light. I’m really enjoying this season which is looking at Beyonce’s ‘Lemonade’ and discovering all the meanings I missed first time round.”
