Our fast-paced culture has made people more aware of how they use their time, with technology facilitating the squeezing of every minute. Doing chores, driving, working out, and walking are some of the activities that most people find themselves looking for ways to fill.
This has made podcasts some of the most popular mediums for content creators to connect with their followers. It is more likely that you would listen to me reading this article to you in a podcast format while you are driving than you taking 5 minutes to sit down and read it.
With more than 850,000 active podcasts in 2020 and 70% of the US population being familiar with them, podcasts have become an effective tool to learn about a variety of topics. From global news to comedy, from engineering to marketing, there is sure to be a podcast to fill your needs.
There are many podcasts aimed at those interested in marketing—however, I have selected what I believe to be the 10 best growth marketing podcasts currently available.
While there might be names you recognize as well as some hidden gems, these are the podcasts you should be listening to if you are interested in growth marketing!

Everyone Hates Marketers

From customer research to brand positioning, you can expect Everyone Hates Marketer to provide you with a fresh take on growth marketing where being able to apply the strategies you learn is what matters most.
