Whether it be on the commute, behind the desk or working from home, the Irish workforce is spending more and more time with their earphones in consuming audio content, so we’ve compiled ‘Springboard’s 5 essential podcast listens for Irish Business’.

The reasons for this could be anything from professional intrigue or the hunger to stay up-to-date on everything, all the way to habit or simply just boredom. But, the facts of the matter are, over a third of Irish people will have listened to a podcast within the last month – according to figures from Reuters.

That stat shouldn’t surprise you because Ireland has always been a country fascinated by the medium of audio and radios remain an essential fixture in most Irish offices.

But, what Irish podcasts or shows should you be listening to if you have a keen interested in Business? Here’s five listens we reckon you should tune into to fill up your working day:

Inside business with Ciarán Hancock

Hosted by The Irish Times Business Editor Ciarán Hancock, the Inside Business podcast covers Irish business and economics in the same rigorous manner you’d expect from one of the country’s top publications.

Ciarán welcomes industry experts and analysts from all fields of business to the show every Wednesday, as well as some of his colleagues from the journalism field.

We know it’s one we look forward to dropping into our podcast feeds, so why not check it out here.

Down to Business with Bobby Kerr

If you love your business listens, then you have surely heard the distinctive tones of the voice of Bobby Kerr.

The sheer popularity of the former Irish Dragons Den member has seen Newstalk give him two whole hours devoted to his insights into all things business.
