為什麼我要紀錄HBS After Hours Podcast
近半年我一直在找一種學習資源，可以讓我:
- 知道在美國或是這個世界的時事，或是重要的議題
- 知道更多商業上的想法或知識
- 增進英文聽力
- 想增進邏輯思辯能力
我聽了滿多的Podcast, 有HBR IdeaCast, TED Talks Daily, New York Times The Daily, BBC Business Daily等等，但我最喜歡的就是HBS的After Hours Podcast。
After Hours Podcast官方簡介
iTunes Description(View it in iTunes Store)
Harvard Business School professors discuss and debate current events that sit at the crossroads of business and culture. Youngme Moon, Mihir Desai, and Felix Oberholzer-Gee engage in a spirited discussion on a range of topics torn from the headlines — from Facebook, to free trade, to the #MeToo movement. Informed by their unique expertise as professors at one of the world’s leading business schools, their takes are always surprising, unconventional, and insightful.
After Hours原意其實是在工作下班之後的閒暇時間。
Cambridge Dictionary: After the time a company or organization usually closes for the day.
Podcast取名after hours的原因也是因為希望用輕鬆聊天的方式，來討論當今熱門的議題。(我覺得是跟HBR的IdeaCast互補，IdeaCast是每一集會針對特定題目，邀請那個主題的大師接受訪問，所以內容聽起來會比較生澀一點。)現在三位教授們更擴大到每周都會分享一些他們生活的小推薦，比如說是書單、影片等等。

三位教授各有專精，三個人加起來結合Strategy, Finance, Law, Executive Education等等。

推薦這個Podcast的原因:
1. 很滿足: 以上四個目的一次給你
2. 很療癒: 這三個教授的對談很輕鬆，而且感覺這三個教授的個性也滿可愛的，聽他們講話滿療癒
3. 很過癮: 他們各自有不同的個性，不同的專業，所以在聽他們討論的過程中你會覺得很過癮，可以聽到他們辯論，也可以聽他們如何針對假設性的問題來做應對。
這個Podcast從2018年7月開始到目前已經推出了兩季，我幾乎每集都聽過了，有些是認真聽了不下十次，有些是通勤的時候當背景音。
聽到現在真心覺得還滿不錯的，也發現光是用聽的有點無法消化Podcast裡面分享的內容與他們思辨的邏輯，決定記錄在這裡讓有興趣的人也可以一起分享。
我會用的形式
我基本上會用一般寫作或是口說的基本架構試著去抓出內容重點
1. Thesis Statement
2. Topic Sentence
3. Conclusion
還有餘力的話也會分享一下我個人的觀點囉!
