Here in my branded company podcast reviews, I don’t just recognize shows that have won current year podcasting awards… I’m also excited to highlight veteran shows that have won awards in previous years AND continue to release great episodes. In this case, from Morgan Stanley:

Access & Opportunity 

The show won the 2021 Webby for Best Business Podcast, with submitting team including host Carla Harris; Morgan Stanley producers LaToya Wilson, Ana Barrera, and Bill Horn; and Pineapple Street Media (now part of Entercom) producers Jenna Weiss-Berman and Elliott Adler.

I really like the mix of guests and stories they include in each episode. I listened to “Creating Equity in the Music Industry” and it worked really well to have a combination of a Grammy winning songwriter and an executive from a major production company, so they are representing both the creative and business side of the topic.

Also a wider shoutout to Morgan Stanley’s overall podcast network, which includes “What Should I Do With My Money” that I have also reviewed here, and “Now, What’s Next?” and “At Scale” which are also excellent!
