What were the most engaging podcast topics in 2022 and our outlook for 2023 with Ecclesiastical podcast hosts
Summary: The idea for a series of conversational podcasts covering a wide array of insurance-related topics came about last year. We’re thrilled with the response to Covered in 15 thus far since launching the podcast in 2022, with over 1000 downloads and consistently strong reviews and streams for each episode. It has offered a way for us at Ecclesiastical to connect with like-minded professionals and potential customers in a manner that, we hope, is both engaging and informative.
In this conversation, the hosts of Covered in 15 discuss the challenges of starting and running a podcast, from finding new guests to locating interesting topics, and what they’ve enjoyed about the guests and topics throughout 2022. This namely includes listening to our passionate third-party guests and colleagues’ insightful expertise and knowledge about various topics, both niche and broad.
Quote: “It’s been great producing the podcasts, we’ve chosen topics brokers said they wanted to hear more about and we’d love to hear thoughts on future topics.”
