Don’t have time to sit down and read a book about marketing? We get it. And we have a solution - podcasts. If you’re not already in the know, podcasts are a series of digital audio shows that have a consistent theme or topic; episodes can be downloaded and saved on your laptop or phone. Just a few podcast topic examples include business, comedy, news, self-help, and true crime, but the topics are truly endless.
Why should I listen to podcasts?
The answer is simple - knowledge and convenience. Podcasts are a great way to learn without having to allocate hours sifting through books for information. As people search for more opportune methods to learn, podcasts are rising in popularity. In fact, in 2021, 28% - or 80 million Americans - are weekly podcast listeners (Convince & Convert). With weekly podcast listeners on the incline, it’s clear people are beginning to see the benefits.
The best part is, you can listen to podcasts at your own pace and convenience. Going for a walk, have a 2 hour car ride, or don’t feel like listening to the whole episode at once? No problem, podcasts give you the flexibility to listen to what you want, for how long you want, and where you want to.
Where do I find these podcasts?
Podcasts can be found on various platforms including Apple Podcast, Spotify Podcast, Google Podcasts, Substack, and more. With so many podcast platforms to choose from, it can be tough to keep track of them all. That’s why I’ve made a list of the top 5 marketing podcasts and where you can find them.
