If you've been with the Business News Hour for the past dozen years you know we love to put up some video. We believe it adds to the engagement level and it's good for business. That's the feeling of the people behind Tero International an organization that, according to our guest Kyle Plummer, provides their clients with "confidence". Here Kyle talks about video, video production and their brand new video production studio. It's really amazing and yes...we have video. Should your company get into video? We think it's a great idea...even if you start small which is what Tero did originally...

Podcast USA with Stephen Meader
Wednesday Mar 20, 2019
Wednesday Mar 20, 2019
Podcasting is a big, big deal. In 2018 alone there were 200,000 podcasts started. Also last year Stephen Meader, who lives in New England, thought it might be a neat deal to aggregate podcasts by states and so he launched Podcast USA and then connects with various states to aggregate those state podcasts. Podcast New Hampshire, Podcast Iowa and so on....currently there are 10 states in the group. Recently Stephen held a "meet-up" of Iowa podcasters and we caught up with him and talked...podcasting.
