Podcast Review: StartUp Bizcast
This week’s Podcast Review is about the StartUp Bizcast Podcast
Description: Startup BizCast offers weekly small business advice, tips, and education from owners of small businesses.
Comments: Over 20 different podcast shows. Great sound, music and production values. The shows are quick to the point, 15 minutes or less in length.
Each show has a focus topic but all shows also have a small business news segment to keep listeners up to date on the latest news. Here is a sampling of show topics:
- Alternative Advertising
- Voice over IP for your Small Business
- Your Small Business Elevator Speech
- Small Business Logos
Nice website, all of the latest bookmark and subscribe options, between podcasts they post a good recommended reading list. Decent show notes and an easy to get to episode list is available as well.
Pluses: I really like the 15 minute or less length of the shows, of course my favorite instant play and the multitude of ways to get to the content.
Minuses: The site is just a wee busy for my eyes, too many chicklets and links on the right side. My eye doesn’t know where to land.
Recommendation: If you like quick access and quick content focused on a wide range of small business topics then the StartUp Bizcast Podcast is one you should give a listen to.

Like the quick access. Very short, but with a lot of great tips. Up dating on business news is a plus.

Thank you so much for reviewing Startup BizCast! I love to hear feedback (positive OR negative) on my show. I’ll take your criticism of the Startup BizCast blog to heart. Sometimes those chicklets do get out of hand.
Thanks again!

I really like his podcasts. He has a really great speaking voice and I like the music and sound he has added to them. Always a plus for me is the instant play. Also love that they are short and to the point. I myself do not find the site too busy, I have seen much worse!

Amanda,
I have to agree with you here. I like ‘short and to the point’ as well and the busy sites send me running away. Additionally, the instant play is a big, big plus. If there’s too much involved, again, I simply leave. Even though there is a lot on the right side as mentioned in the post, I don’t find it as confusing as many others I have seen. It’s a really useful podcast site with load and loads of valuable information.
