Following on from part 1 – commercial awareness podcasts, if you are preparing for interview you will also need insights into the companies you are applying to.

Not all companies produce podcasts, but you might be surprised by how many do. These are definitely worth seeking out as you can get a feel for the people who work in the companies, the arguments they use, the attitudes they hold. It is more personal than reading a website. And with some companies who update regularly, you can find out their latest thinking in a more digestible form than reading a full report.

Here are some company podcasts I found, either by searching a company website, googling, or by searching the podcasts section of the iTunes store.

Deloitte Insights podcasts – the Global insights podcast is good, and there are a number of country-specific Insights podcasts available too

PwC UK Career podcasts – a couple on the recruitment process

Credit Suisse podcasts - includes Economy & Finance and Global Investor

Aon – Insurance, Pensions and Consulting – about the Aon graduate scheme

J.P. Morgan Asset Management Insights – for a focus on investment

Accenture podcasts – Business and Tech – a range of series available here including financial services, information management, management consultancy and systems. From a quick search it looks like there are more podcasts available in different specialist areas of the site.

Deutsche Bank RSS & podcasts – headlines and press releases

McKinsey Global Institute – audio articles
