Podcasts are an excellent way to share your latest findings and juiciest developments in a medium that's engaging, fun, and portable. If you're thinking about podcasting, here's an insider's peek at the creation of the Reach Group podcast series—"The Connected Generation"—complete with professional tips from our talented audio team.

It all started when we learned that our new MacBooks (we have the exact same computer—talk about thinking alike!) were capable of creating podcasts. Excited to dive in, we fired up the Garage Band software during a writing retreat and started talking.
