As part of Construction Junkie’s annual Best Construction Podcast of 2020 Competition, I have been highlighting each one of this year’s 12 nominees. Next up is In the Blue – a Podcast about all things Bluebeam.
For those that might not know, Bluebeam is a construction industry favorite for reviewing construction documents and performing PDF markup. The show is hosted by members of the technology provider and Bluebeam Platinum Partner, US CAD, so they bring some clout themselves, as well as inviting guests from the industry on to share their perspective on the software.
Now 7 episodes deep, the podcast began in August of 2019 and is released monthly, generally speaking. The show not only covers the latest news in Bluebeam, it also welcomes guests who use Bluebeam in all kinds of different ways.
So far, topics have included deep dive looks into how laser scanning functions within Bluebeam, the basics of PDF forms, and how Bluebeam has factored into the success some companies have seen in recent years.
This podcast is certainly one of the most “niche” shows in our contest this year, but it doesn’t make it any less valuable. As I’ve mentioned before, what makes podcasting the perfect medium for construction is that it gives creators the ability to reach their exact audience and for anyone in the industry to find relevant and helpful material for the subject they’re researching.
If you’re a user of Bluebeam and you want to learn how you can up your game, In the Blue is certainly worth a listen.
