The ability to multitask while listening to a business podcast is another reason why this medium is so popular. There are new innovations in business every day. However, keeping up with them is difficult. After all, there are only so many hours in a day! Not to mention there are only so many conferences you can fit into your calendar. A good business podcast lets you get on with daily life as you accomplish your learning goals; 60% of podcasts listeners tune in while driving, for instance.

Flow Podcast is a Brazilian podcast created by Bruno Monteiro Aiub (Monark) and Igor Coelho (Igor 3K) in 2018. The podcast is directed and produced by Gianluca Eugenio (Gianzão). It is known for its variety of guests, which include politicians, digital influencers, among many others.[1] It is one of the most watched podcasts in Brazil, with more than 5 million subscribers on YouTube.[1]
Before creating the podcast, Bruno Monteiro Aiub (Monark) and Igor Coelho (Igor 3K) had their respective video game channels on YouTube.[3] However, according to Monark, "gameplay never generated much money".[4] In 2014, Igor started a video game channel where he played Grand Theft Auto, but he "[ended up] going crazy."[5] Monark and Igor were "pissed off at life", with both agreeing that Flow Podcast was "the result of hate and depression".[6] For the name, Monark initially suggested "Cult Flow", but Igor said that only Flow would be better.[7]
According to Monark, Flow was inspired by The Joe Rogan Experience by podcaster Joe Rogan.[11] Also according to him, there is no agenda or conversation prior to recording the podcast.[12] UOL and Exame have said that Flow is noted for its informal style, resembling a "bar conversation".[13][14] The podcast has its official clips channel, which contains specific clips from the episodes.[8]
Between late May and early June 2020, members of the Xbox Mil Grau YouTube channel began to be accused of racism after tweets and certain speeches given on livestreams.[16][17] Despite this, Flow invited them to the podcast, causing controversy; Monark stated that after the episode, Flow became "enemy number one" for some people.[17] Later, during an appearance on the talk show The Noite com Danilo Gentili, when asked if they would "[think] twice before calling someone to the show", Monark and Igor said no,[18] adding that fear or controversy is not a criterion for whether or not to invite someone to the podcast.[19]
In October 2021, the show lost its sponsorship of the iFood delivery app, after Monark asked on Twitter if "having a racist opinion is a crime".[a] The company released a note in which it expressed that they repudiated "any type of prejudice or act of discrimination".[21] The following month, the podcast and iFood jointly released a note stating that they would maintain occasional partnerships, but not sponsorship.[22]

In our work with organizations and talent exploring audio, radio, and podcasting, we ask a lot of questions: Who, specifically, is your project for? What are you trying to tell them? Why is this project a good use of your time and treasure? What problem are you solving?
You get the point, there are lots of them, and they touch just about every category of podcasting. They are the big, ubiquitous hit shows that dominate a lot of the mainstream conversation about podcasting.
He has two recent articles, one on Billboard and the other at The Financial Times looking at podcasting in context of the economics of streaming. In both he makes the point that almost all the conversations about digital media are about the expanding choices, but what will ultimately determine the success (and failure) of digital media centers on the lack of elasticity around the attention we have to give. You can grow users all you like, but there is only so much room in our ears.
The brief definition of what \u201CFlow\u201D means: In a \u201CFlow\u201D project, the content \u201Cflows\u201D from a creator to the audience. One to many. Listen to what the creator has to say. The role of the audience is to listen.
In short: most creators pitch \u201CFlow\u201D concepts, yet \u201CCircuit\u201D concepts are where the podcast industry is leaning. That isn\u2019t to say that \u201CFlow\u201D is bad and \u201CCircuit\u201D is good--or that \u201CFlow\u201D is the past and \u201CCircuit\u201D is the future--far from it. But understanding what your project is designed to do--that IS important to setting expectations. The other day I was trying to explain this to someone, and ended up saying: to creators, \u201CFlow\u201D is an act of expression; \u201CCircuit\u201D is an act of inclusion.
That has been the basic model of broadcast radio since its origins. It\u2019s been present in podcasting almost since the beginnings, too. All big narrative series are \u201CFlow\u201D podcasts as a matter of practicality (it is hard to engage your theoretical audience a year in advance of the thing existing), but so are many talk/chat/conversation programs too.

You might have noticed earlier that I said \u201CFlow\u201D has been a creative paradigm in podcasting almost since its inception. Emphasis on \u201Calmost.\u201D While I am venturing into the fight over the origins of podcasting here--the first bona fide podcast production was the inaugural episode of Chris Lydon\u2019s Open Source, recorded in 2003--and it definitely was a \u201CFlow\u201D podcast.
But then almost immediately after, all the major innovative podcasts, like IT Conversations, The Dawn and Drew Show, and Daily Source Code--they were all \u201CCircuit\u201D podcasts. In these, the audience asked questions, weighed in on topics, and provided material for the shows. Hell, sometimes the audience were also the guests on these shows. These podcasts were a voice for a community of interest--a community that expected to be part of the show\u2019s editorial. However, even in a \u201CCircuit\u201D project, the creator is still in charge: they decide what to do, not do, determine the theme and direction, but the audience is deeply and critically involved.
While many \u201CCircuit\u201D podcasts, to this day, don\u2019t always drive huge numbers, frankly, they are the heart and soul of podcasting. While I\u2019m not sure there have been a lot of hook-ups among TED Radio Hour fans, I would put up money that there have been marriages and babies that have come about after Harmontown fans meet up. These podcasts are like badges: \u201CI am part of this. If you are part of this, too, then chances are we should be friends.\u201D Even shorter: \u201CFellow listener, you are my tribe.\u201D
While they go back to the origins of podcasting, and kept podcasting viable in-between Apple\u2019s 2005 embrace of podcasting and the debut of Serial in 2014, some great examples of today\u2019s significant \u201CCircuit\u201D podcasts:
Some fans and creators of \u201CCircuit\u201D podcasts argue that \u201CFlow\u201D podcasts aren\u2019t really podcasts at all--that they are ignoring a tenant of podcasting by not creating a material role for the audience in their shows. I wouldn\u2019t go this far, but for any \u201CCircuit\u201D podcasters reading this, I\u2019m sure their reaction is \u201CNo shit, I\u2019m glad you finally woke up to this.\u201D
It matters because \u201CFlow\u201D podcasts are becoming increasingly hard to get made--and to make successful. They are expensive, risky, and operate in an incredibly crowded field. \u201CCircuit\u201D podcasts are less expensive, more agile, less risky, better targeted, and find more avenues for monetization and sustainability.
For me, it is both. The confusion is that most creators don\u2019t think about the audience, or, at best, think of them as a monolithic borg who just consume and are only recognized in mass as a download count. To them, everything is a \u201CFlow,\u201D even projects that would do better designed to be a \u201CCircuit.\u201D Whenever I speak to organizations and companies finding their way in podcasting, they never (as in no exceptions) think about how to truly engage with listeners that they\u2019ll draw to their new podcast.
This \u201CFlow\u201D vs \u201CCircuit\u201D is a concept that I think blows right past a lot of people creating podcasts and audio projects. Increasingly, I see this as a source of a lot of frustration, misalignment, and misunderstanding for creators. Understanding which of these your project should be will help it find a place in the world.
