Product on a Podcast - Agile Therapy Workshops 🧠

Fri, 15 Nov 2024 10:24:46 -0000

Kicking off a new season of podcast episodes, reviving an old Product On A Page format I used to blog on a regularly basis.

This time, it's about mental health therapy and how it correlates with agile software delivery to make it more accessible, trying to shake the stigma often associated with mental health.

What about audio versions of WeekNotes as a podcast? Read out the notes but also add a bit more commentary and ad-libbing for “natural” content. Would it be easier for me and would anyone listen? Think hybrid between the old Verbal Diary audio format (not as publicised) and regular WeekNotes text format (more formal). I'm going to give it a go for a few weeks to see how it turns out.
