Texas business journals launching podcast

Business journals in Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio are collaborating on a new weekly podcast called “Texas Business Matters,” which will launch March 3.

Will Anderson of the Austin Business Journal writes, “With a statewide focus, we plan to highlight each week accomplished leaders and driven entrepreneurs, providing our readers (and, now, listeners) with insight and inspiration to help their own careers.

“The first podcast guest is slated to be Walter Robb, the former co-CEO of Whole Foods Market who is now an investor and adviser to startups.

“The podcast, being created with the help of Feedback Media, will be posted on the websites of the four Texas business journals, as well as on popular podcast services such as Spotify, Apple Podcasts and SoundCloud.

“The Austin, San Antonio, Dallas and Houston business journals are owned by Charlotte, North Carolina-based American City Business Journals.”
