From podcasts to rap, we hope there is something that appeals to you as you’re deciding what to tune into.

Podcast: Up and Vanished
“Up and Vanished is a well done, investigative podcast diving into a real-life cold case from 2005. I’m a huge fan of suspense and unexpected twists and turns so this was right up my alley.” – Alex

Poster for the Tim Ferriss Show, a podcast enjoyed by the team at ESP IT, the top IT staffing firm in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Podcasts: Tim Ferriss, Finding Mastery with Michael Gravais, and the Wall Street Journal Tech News Briefing
“As you can see, I’m a bit of a podcast junkie. I like to listen to Tim Ferriss because he is obsessed with learning how to improve himself – from athletics to meditation to business savvy and investing.  His podcasts showcase a wide variety of world-class performers.  His interview style is authentic, and listeners can sense his genuine curiosity. Michael Gervais interviews highly successful people from all walks of life and figures out the psychology behind what makes them tick and thus what has led to their accomplishments. And the Wall Street Journal Tech News Briefing keeps me up-to-date with what’s happening in the tech world in as little as 5 to 8 minutes.” – Kelli
