10 Best Marketing Podcasts of 2009

Leo Laporte, one of the leading podcasters, recently stated that his podcast network, TWiT, brings in a profit of over $1 million a year, but said that podcasting is dead. He states that podcasts are just too hard for users because of the numerous steps that it takes to listen to a podcast. You have to find the good ones, download iTunes, subscribe to them, and then sync them to your iPod or MP3 player. Well, here’s my list of the best marketing podcasts, so you can skip the first step of finding great content.
