Need to Know podcast–Episode 221

I thought I’d try something different on the podcast. Of late, the podcast length has been growing simply due to the amount of content. I appreciate that this becomes harder and harder to digest all this in a single sitting. Thus, I’ve decided to try some shorter podcast episodes ,stripped back and focused on just one topic. I’m calling these episodes “FAQs”. The idea is to cover a single topic in more depth in 15 – 30 minutes.

I have a few ideas of what to cover for these FAQs but I’d love to hear from you as to what topics you’d want to hear covered in more depth. I’d also like to hear whether this is a good idea or not? If so, I’ll keep doing them. If not, then I won’t bother. So please provide me your input either on Twitter or via email (director@ciaops.com). I look forward to hearing from people.

The existing podcast episode will continue as normal but I’m interested to see whether there is demand for these deeper more focused FAQ episodes?
