    The Future of LinkedIn's Podcast Network: A Deep Dive

    In this episode of Swing that Gig!, host Martin Lindeskog explores the shifting landscape of LinkedIn’s podcast network. Launched three years ago, LinkedIn's foray into audio content appears to be downsizing or shifting strategy, as suggested by analyses in Podnews.
