The long-form conversational style podcast format came into its own in 2020, enabling connection through conversation both with interesting engaging subjects and audiences.
During the year Professional Planner rolled out two podcast series; each produced unique views and candid insights from people with deep knowledge and experience in their specialisations.
The Ethics for Advisers podcast series was successful not only from an audience engagement and entertainment perspective but also from an educational perspective with the advice industry’s largest networks including the series and CPD component it their respective learning modules. The second Ethics for Advisers series will be produced early in 2021.
The Shape of Advice series will also be added to in 2021, bringing light to the augmentation of business models and application of technology to the advice process.
