Are internal podcasts worth the trouble?
We don’t hear about corporate podcasts very often, because they’re hidden behind a firewall and consumed only by employees or association members. Organizations as diverse as IBM, Whirlpool and Disney, though, are said to be producing podcasts for internal purposes.

What are the expected outcomes? This is especially important if your employee podcast is related to a larger effort or campaign within the organization (change management, for example).
