  • ACTUAL SME’s!! Do you dare??

    I’ve heard a lot of these types of podcasts. They are typically one of three things:

    A) dry and mind-numbingly boring

    B) a really hard sales pitch that leaves you want to run for the hills

    C) so numbers-heavy you feel like you are back in AP trig…and failing miserably.

    But Connections with BCD Travel is vastly different from the rest. It truly stands out and I’m so glad I’ve found it. I love that it’s quick - I think the episodes are all less than 25 mins, so I can listen just about anyplace. ... more

  • Informative AND entertaining

    The team at BCD Travel really hit the mark with these initial podcasts. If you’re involved in running a corporate travel program, definitely check this out. It’s very professionally produced and really tight so you don’t waste time. The episodes are about 20 minutes each, so it’s a nice easy-yet-informative listen.
