START YOUR MORNING BY LISTENING TO TODAY’S BIZNEWS BREAKFAST BRIEFING – BBB Ep19 – Musk’s halo restored, Tesla leads Wall Street higher, Bitcoin rebounds; Rates rise in SA, EU; Hain giving Bain pain; ANC’s Eskom 2 insanity
There was an interesting discussion yesterday on the BizNews Interactive Channel for Premium members on WhatsApp after I asked the group whether their preference for consuming our audio was via Spotify or iTunes.
___STEADY_PAYWALL___I’m getting up before the sparrows nowadays to put the finishing touches to the BizNews Breakfast Briefing, getting it published before 7am. Am obviously anxious that everyone who wants to hear it is able to do so timeously.
What emerged from the discussion is many of our tribe need a little help in this area. They are needlessly missing content they would like.
Technology helps overcome this. Easily, too. On Spotify, simply go to BizNews Radio and click on the “Follow” button (see below) and you’ll be pinged every time there’s something new to consider.
On iTunes go to the BizNews Radio channel (click here), then on the link that says “Listen on Apple Podcasts”. Then click on the “follow” button (see below) to enable notifications so you won’t miss our new postings.
It’s just as easy to get our video recordings as soon as they’re published by subscribing to the BizNews TV channel on YouTube. There’s an excellent short video (1:33) that explains how – click here.
