First, what is a podcast?

In case you’ve never heard of a ‘podcast’ let me very quickly explain what it is and why you should be listening to them if you’re not already.

Podcasts are mostly audio(sometimes video), regularly released episodes covering specific topics.  In reality they should be known as ‘Netcasts’ as they are generically audio episodes ‘cast’ over the internet,  however, Apple coined the term very early as the majority of listeners used their iPods to listen to them.  

Their popularity soon grew and now you can find podcasts for most topics imaginable.   When you subscribe to a podcast, new episodes will be automatically downloaded to your mobile, tablet or any other device using either Apple Podcasts(iTunes) or Spotify allowing you listen to the episode wherever you like, whether that’s in the car while driving to court, commuting to the office, or at the gym.    

Why should you listen to legal podcasts?

Wouldn’t any lawyer welcome some free motivational advice on law practice management to discover new ways to run their law firm more efficiently?  Wouldn’t you want to hear advice directly from the go-getters and the legal industry’s renowned leading expertise? There are minefields of information on legal issues out there and it can be overwhelming to figure out who has the right information that may work for you and your practice. 

The best way to succeed as a lawyer is to surround yourself with like-minded people who can guide you on the best practices and give advice on new trends and legal news that is out there. 

In this post, we have compiled what we believe to be the best tried and tested law podcasts produced by lawyers and respected authorities in law and legal technology. These 10 podcasts are produced for people like you who are known in their field, and what better way is there to find out how they made it than by listening to their secrets and methods to run a successful law firm. 

Let’s hope it will fuel your mind with ideas and motivation to make the best of what you are good at!
