Stop Scheduling Training Meetings. Make a Podcast.
“Can everyone join the training call at 2pm on Thursday?”
No. They can’t. Half the team has conflicts. A quarter are in a different timezone. The rest will attend with cameras off while doing email.
Synchronous training for distributed teams is broken. You pay for everyone’s time (expensive), get partial attendance (wasteful), and achieve minimal retention (pointless).
Training as a Podcast
Turn your training content into podcast episodes your team listens to asynchronously:
- Write or compile the training material (you already have this)
- audiclip’s technology generates a two-host discussion of each module
- Employees listen during their commute, in their timezone, on their schedule
- Quiz or discussion follows at the next team meeting
What changes:
- No scheduling: No finding a time that works for 15 people across 3 timezones
- Full “attendance”: Everyone listens eventually — on their own time
- Better retention: Conversational two-host format encodes information better than a slide deck
- Repeatable: New hires listen to the same episodes. No re-scheduling the training.
Use Cases
- Product training: New features, positioning, competitive responses
- Process training: How to use internal tools, updated workflows, new policies
- Skills training: Communication frameworks, management techniques, technical skills
- Compliance training: Annual requirements without the annual calendar headache
Why Two Hosts > Training Slides
A slide deck is passive. A two-host discussion is active — because the second host asks:
- “Can you give an example?”
- “What’s the most common mistake people make here?”
- “How is this different from the old way?”
These questions mirror what a good training facilitator would ask. Except they’re available on-demand, at 6am or 11pm, in any timezone.
Cross-Language Training
Your team spans 8 countries. English-language training excludes non-native speakers from full comprehension. Podcast training in 100+ languages means every employee absorbs the content fully — in their language.
No interpreter fees. No separate sessions per language. One set of content. Every language.
