Want a Stanford GSB education but don’t have time to go back to school? The “Think Fast Talk Smart” podcast with strategic communications professor Matt Abrahams provides big knowledge in bite-sized episodes.

The show covers a variety of relevant topics, from personal branding and reputation management to public speaking and communicating with a team. They have even done a series recently on how to communicate effectively in the virtual workspace/classroom.

What I Like

• The short format leaves you with one to two key takeaways each episode
• Guests are Stanford GSB professors at the top of their field speaking about their area of expertise
• The takeaways are often handy frameworks that are simple to understand and easy to remember

What I Don’t

• Short is great, but I sometimes wish that they went into more detail or provided examples of their theories for better comprehension

Overall

This is an engaging, informative podcast that isn’t a chore to listen to. The quick episodes are easy to fit into your day and you are sure to finish a little smarter than when you started.

Score: 7/10
