LinkedIn is starting a podcast on how work affects lives

LinkedIn is starting a podcast focused on the role that work plays in people’s lives, reports Natalie Jarvey of The Hollywood Reporter.

Jarvey writes, “Hello Monday will be hosted by LinkedIn senior editor at large Jessi Hempel. Each episode will feature an interview with someone who has found success in his or her field and will be supplemented with data from the network’s over 600 million members and reporting on its community from managing new editor Caroline Fairchild.

“The show kicks off March 4 with an interview with Late Night host Seth Meyers about how to lead a workforce where many of your employees have side gigs.

“‘I hope that the podcast helps folks realize that there are tricky moments — and difficult conversations — in all of our careers, and that they take away from the show helpful lessons on how they can better navigate these moments,’ says Hempel, who joined LinkedIn from Wired in October. ‘Work is changing, and the industries in which we begin our careers will change radically, but we can weather those changes. Hello Monday will give listeners the tools and the inspiration to do so.’

“She adds that the show will be encouraging feedback from its listeners on their personal workplace stories and will feature those stories on the podcast.”
