15 binge-worthy marketing podcasts to check out in 2022

Marketing moves fast. When you’re working in isolation — figuratively or literally — it's easy to fall behind on the latest trends or best practices. Whether you’re part of a marketing agency or in-house team responsible for delivering results for your client or a small business owner for whom “marketer” is just one of many hats, staying competitive is a challenge.

Those outdated marketing books collecting dust on your shelf aren’t doing you much good. Fortunately, lots of industry experts have taken up podcasting — which means you can level up your marketing knowledge without making a huge time investment.

These 15 marketing podcasts will help you keep up to date with the latest tools and tactics, most in an hour or (much) less.
