After publishing 230 articles and 3 books, releasing almost 50 podcasts, creating 4 starter kits and supporting a world tour, 2017 is drawing to a close on Inside Intercom, which means it’s time for our traditional look back at the year.<\/p>\n

    The Inside Intercom podcast<\/h2>\n

    Following the success of our relaunched podcast in 2016, we made a commitment to bring listeners a podcast each week this year. Fast forward 52 weeks, and we\u2019ve published 46 original conversations with thought leaders and practitioners in product management, design, marketing, engineering and the business of startups. Among them, we experimented with new formats, like audio essays<\/a> and compilations of highlights<\/a>, as well as partnering with our events team for our first live recording<\/a>, during the Dreamforce conference. In total that\u2019s roughly 24 hours of listening material, so for those looking to catch up over the holiday break, Adam Risman<\/a>, the editor who fronts our podcast, has selected his favorite episodes from the past year in the playlist below.<\/p>\n
