Can anyone else recommend other good business/management related podcasts? The [generous and wonderful] 5 shows a month that Mark and Mike do aren't quite enough to sate my appetite. I was browsing through the casts on iTunes, but I'm never sure which ones are delivering solid content and which are just fluff.

Thanks.

Two I listen to regularly are the Cranky Middle Manager and Middle Management Lobotomy:

http://cmm.thepodcastnetwork.com/
http://mmlpodcast.libsyn.com/

CMM is an interview-oriented show, but usually entertaining. MML gives a more personal take on management. Both are good for solid, practical advice a la MT.

Hope that helps!

You may want to check www.BusinessResourcesPodcastDirectory.com, it is a categorized directory of internet radio shows or more popularly known as podcasts featuring business experts advice, tips, tools and training that you can utilize for your existing business and/or career.

Also check out its Articles page where all business management articles are being submitted and shared for the site visitors.

All these are free, no registration required but if you want to attend FREE Members-Only business networking events/ workshops, then I suggest that you register as a user of the directory. Workshops includes how to use podcast to gain more exposure for your business.

Also you may want to check out StartUp Nation at www.StartupNation.com, the Sloan Brothers podcast their live radio shows that you can now download and listen to at a later time if you missed their show.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

Manager tools is my only must listen (okay I like the Cranky Middle Manager too). The others I cherry pick topics that sound interesting. It gives you something else to listen to until MT comes out on Monday morning.

Harvard Business Review - Usually weekly 20-30 minutes in two segments- Normally covering a topic in one of the recent magazine. Per Mark and Mike the print copy is a must read (not exactly how they feel about the podcasts)

Another one I enjoy is "Career Opportunities: The High Tech Career Handbook" by Douglas E. Welch (http://www.welchwrite.com/career). Short and informative. Somtimes I wonder if Douglas isn't sitting in the cube next to me gathering material since he seems to talk about a lot of topics in a high tech career that I have recently faced. "Hey, I just ran in to that!" is often my response to him.

I'm sorry this has taken me so long. I regret my absence.

I don't listen to podcasts, so I can't recommend them, but I am going to check these out that have been suggested and see what I can learn. Thanks for the suggestions.

Again, my apologies.

Mark

Welcome to the Manager Tools forum Douglas. Somehow I missed your post. My name might not be familar but you and I "met" on a special TMUP "test" live show. I've been reading and enjoying your blog since then.

Try out Anna Farmery at the Engaging brand.com. It has more than 100 episodes on Management. Great stuff with more the interview style as well as personal connection.
