San Francisco: Microsoft-owned LinkedIn is reportedly debuting a podcast network that features in-house shows from the LinkedIn News team as well as programmes from leading industry figures.
The shows are geared toward a professional audience. They focus on areas including understanding technology, managing mental health and explaining the hiring process, reports Engadget.
Reid Hoffman, the co-founder and executive chairman of LinkedIn, will co-host a podcast about personal entrepreneurship called 'The Start-Up of You' that will premiere this spring.
The company said the LinkedIn Podcast Network is a pilot and builds on the success of Hello Monday, a podcast produced by LinkedIn News in which host Jessi Hempel delves into the evolving nature of work, the report said. The podcast network ties into LinkedIn's other products -- such as newsletters, live events, videos and posts -- with the idea that hosts and audiences will be able to keep conversations going outside of the shows, it added.
