Marketing podcasts provide actionable advice, industry insights—and sometimes cautionary tales—for advertising and promoting your business. Podcasts are easy to listen to while commuting, working, or while at the gym, and statistics show that over half of the U.S. population has listened to a podcast. Despite these facts, it can be difficult to determine which podcasts are worth a listen—and whether any new shows are deserving of your time. That’s why we compiled this list of 5 of the best marketing podcasts you should be listening to in 2020.
