Nearly one in four Americans listen to podcasts on a monthly basis with studies showing podcast listening is on the rise. We're a big fan of IoT podcasts as a means to get the latest news on any desired subject matter. Podcasts offer an opportunity to learn while you are cooking dinner, lying on the beach or going for a walk. You can keep abreast of industry news and expand your knowledge without having to open a laptop or attend a conference, returning to work inspired and equipped for the next quarter's challenges.
I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Momenta's very own podcast. Each episode provides an opportunity to enjoy a deeper conversation between Momenta's Ed Maguire and key experts and Thought Leaders in the IoT and Connected Industry community. Its real strength is the pedigree and diversity of speakers who cover topics as diverse as AR, solar energy, people trafficking, and data security. They're a great listen and offer interesting insights into the past, present, and future of technology as well as the impact of these new emerging technologies on business and society. These are also available on Itunes as well.
Want to take a listen? We have produced over 25 episodes featuring great innovators, thinkers and creators.
Here are our three most popular episodes:

Here are some other IoT podcast we love and listen to (in no particular order). They all have a life of their own and together create a fantastic community of voices sharing their insights on IoT:
