As the popularity of podcasts continues to rise, they've become a preferred medium for consuming information. And marketing insights are no exception. But, with hundreds of marketing podcasts available, how do you determine which ones are truly worth your time?
I'm a proud podcast nerd, so rather than relying on external sources, I've curated a list of the top 15 marketing podcasts. I've based this list on my own extensive listening experience, supported by insights from dozens of marketing connections.
Without further ado, let me introduce you to these 15 exceptional marketing podcasts that are sure to captivate and educate you.
Demand Decoded is a must-listen show for B2B marketers looking to break the mould of traditional tactics and step-change their marketing results in a new, buyer-centric era.
With a mixture of panel discussions, interviews, and entertaining content, Demand Decoded is a one-stop podcast for strategic, tactical, and light-hearted content. This show provides a mixture of content, whilst keeping a close eye on the educational value it provides – you might find content diving deep into content distribution frameworks one week and rating the best marketing tactics the next.

Revenue Vitals was one of the first marketing podcasts that really hooked me. I'm not ashamed to say I binged hours of this show. Early episodes are recordings from Refine Labs' Demand Gen Live events, where Chairman Chris Walker would take audience questions and give in-depth answers and advice.
Since rebranding to Revenue Vitals, the episodes are a lot more focused and go in-depth on some of the core problems today's B2Bs face. From creating an attribution model to the future of go-to-market strategy, this podcast covers the fundamental issues in marketing and how you can overcome them to generate more revenue for your business.

Hosted by well-known marketing voice Dave Gerhardt, Exit Five features interviews top marketing leaders and practitioners to provide in-depth insights on all kinds of marketing topics. Thanks to his experience running marketing at Drift, Privy, and his advisor role at a range of businesses, Dave brings his knowledge to the table whilst extracting pearls of wisdom from his guests.
What I like about Exit Five is that Dave isn't afraid to probe the how when it comes to marketing. Unlike some podcasts, he gets into the meat of how marketers achieve the results they're talking about and explores the methods that got them there.

Marketing veterans Kipp Bonar (CMO at HubSpot) and Kieran Flanagan (CMO at Zapier) come together in this fast-paced and engaging marketing podcast. Marketing Against The Grain isn't a typical interview-style podcast; Kipp and Kieran often butt heads and get into the nitty-gritty behind the hottest marketing topics. As well as strategic growth and innovation, the show covers emerging marketing trends and goes down rabbit holes to get to the information that matters.
I really enjoy the unfiltered nature of this podcast. Kipp and Kieran aren't afraid to go against the grain and give their honest opinion when it comes to marketing, making an entertaining show that's full of personality.
