I have received over 30 e-mails recently from new listeners to The Engaging Brand podcast who are struggling to get through all 148 shows and want to know what I believe are the best interviews.
Now, as I am the producer I am not sure that I am the best person to say! So I asked listeners and here are their views, interestingly there were many shows mentioned (c 62) showing it depends on your taste! But here are the Top 10 - in no particular order and as I asked this a few weeks ago newer shows have not appeared in the list.
- Show 35 - Seth Godin Explains Employement Branding
- Show 107 - Symphony of Leadership with Jason Heath
- Shows 81 and 82 Powerful Presentations Part 1 and Part 2 with Jeanette Henderson
- Shows 67 and 68 - The Brain and How Motivation Works Part 1 and Part 2 with Dr Ellen Weber
- Show 54 Using Humour at Work with Leigh Anne Jasheway Bryant
- Shows 112 +113 The Leadership Brand Part 1 and Part 2 with Dave Ulrich
- Shows 125 and 126 Conversational Marketing Part 1 and Part 2 with Connie Reece
- Show 120 + 121 Developing Strong Relationships Pt 1 and Part 2 with Deb Knupp
- Show 131 - How Successful People Think Differently with Roger Martin
- Show 136 - Inside the Mind of a Digital Native with Paull Young
Do you agree with the masses? I must say 3 of my favourite shows are not on the list which shows that I am not the best judge!! Let me know....
Anna,
Thank you for doing this. We often lose so much value in the short life of blogs and podcasts. You have given me a short program to listen to over the next two weeks. Would it be okay for me to post this on the employee engagement network as a top link for the week?

David I would be privileged. I know what you mean, even I have been back to listen to a couple as I find them many of the people inspiring, for instance Dr Ellen Weber was superb to talk to and I forget what wonderful advice and thought provoking words they give...but I have to say some of my favourites didn't even register one vote..the wonderful world of diversity!

Well, my favorite two had this dashing and handsome Texan on with Anna. They were smart, engaging, and brilliantly done. And I see they are not on the top ten list. My feelings are hurt. lol

I'm so honored to be on the list! This is very handy because there is no way I could go back and listen to all the programs I've missed. Now I know where to start.

Hey Uncle Larry - I did say as voted for by listeners! You of course remain my favourite :) Lol. Actually I think yours was the highest download of the year if I remember correctly...
Connie - glad to have made your day! The interesting thing is that there is a mix between marketing, social media and leadership...which illustrates the variety I try and give people. The funny thing is that my top 3 didn't make the list...what does that say?? See you in NY

Anna, many thanks for all the time and talent you bring to others. What a busy week and here it is almost midnight on Friday night and I pop by to see such a wonderful list! Thanks - I plan to listen to each of these again. You rock!

Hi Anna! It's great that the episode we did (#107 - Symphony of Leadership) is up there on the list. I really enjoyed chatting with you, and I'll mention this post on my live show tonight (7 p.m. CT 3/20/08) at doublebassblog.org.
