Podcasts Are the New Black for Law Firm Business Development
Before jumping into the podcast foray, law firm leaders must think strategically about podcasting as a tool for marketing and business development. Resources, bandwidth and buy-in are needed to produce a successful podcast — along with patience as podcasting success is determined by long-term results.
For buy-in, let's start with some statistics. Podcasts are more popular than blogging, videos, and television. The average podcast consumer listens to seven podcast episodes per week, and 93% of podcast fans listen to most of an episode. Sixty-one percent of podcast consumers listen to podcasts more than watching TV. As of 2019, 51% of the U.S. population has listened to a podcast. It is expected that by 2022, 132 million people in the United States will listen to podcasts. According to Podcast Insights:
- Podcasts are most often consumed at home (49%) or in a car (22%);
- Listeners are loyal, affluent and educated;
- 40% of Americans 54 or younger listen to podcasts monthly; and
- 41% of monthly podcast listeners are more likely to earn $75,000-plus annually.
Before your law firm leaps into podcasting, answer these questions:
- What is the purpose of the podcast? Why do you want to enter the podcast space?
- Whom does the firm wish to influence? Will the podcast be focused on B2B, B2C or both?
- What does the firm have to offer via a podcast, and what will be its impact?
- What does success of a podcast look like for the firm, and how will success be measured?

Risks of “Baseball Arbitration” in Resolving Real Estate Disputes
“Baseball arbitration” refers to the process used in Major League Baseball in which if an eligible player's representative and the club ownership cannot reach a compensation agreement through negotiation, each party enters a final submission and during a formal hearing each side — player and management — presents its case and then the designated panel of arbitrators chooses one of the salary bids with no other result being allowed. This method has become increasingly popular even beyond the sport of baseball.
