Do you like podcasts? I am a big fan. Most days I make time to pop on my headphones and learn something new from an expert. The wealth of expertise is quite amazing, and the access you have to experts who can teach you anything about Marketing, so useful.

Three Great Marketing Podcasts
There are lots of great Marketing Podcasts that you may not have tried yet, for brevity I am going to tell you about just 3 today.
1. The Garyvee Audio Experience If you haven't encountered the force that is Gary Vee (aka Gary Vaynerchuk) you are in for a treat. Or maybe not.
I think he is probably one of the most Marmite people on the planet. Personally I love his straight talking, expletive laden content. But there are those who don't. If you decide to listen, and you have young children around, headphones are recommended.
His own business track record is proven, and he spends a lot of his time helping others via content such as The Gary Vee Audio Experience
What is he likely to say?
-To give you a heads up, he will terrify you with the suggestion of posting 5 times a day
- He is a big fan of TikTok & will gladly tell you he called it as the platform of the moment 18 months ago...
- Giving value to your audience is the most important thing of all. Even if you don't engage with this podcast, you are never likely to experience a Gary drought as he is one of the most out there people of all time from an exposure point of view.
What he won't say
Anything about books, except to shout out his own, Gary isn't a reader. I have to give him minus points for this (joking/not joking)
Marketing School with Neil Patel and Eric Sui is a bite sized podcast.
Episodes are daily, and last in the range of 5-8 minutes.
Neil Patel and and Eric Sui are both owners of Digital Marketing agencies. I find I hear about a lot of tools that I haven't before via this show.
What are they likely to talk about?
This really is a digital Marketing podcast, so expect to hear about:
SEO
Paid Search (Pay per click advertising)
Affiliate Marketing, Display Advertising
Mobile Advertising
Remarketing/Retargeting
Facebook Marketing
Video Advertising
Twitter Marketing
Google Analytics
Conversion Rate Optimization
Sales
Strategic Partnerships
Content Strategy/Development
Business Development
Social Media
Community Development
Operations
Affiliate marketing
Affiliate program management
Retargeting
Growth Hacking
What you won't hear about
Much in depth, but you may find out about something new that sparks an interest and you can go and find out more.
How can you sum up Seth Godin? Best selling author of 20 Marketing books, entrepreneur with one of the longest track records of continuous success in Marketing globally. Creator of 'Permission Marketing' member of The Marketing Hall of Fame.Total Genuis. If you haven't read This is Marketing I often recommend this book to others wanting to learn about marketing.
What will you get from Akimbo?
- Seth has a voice for radio, he is incredibly smooth to listen to, and structures his 30 minute episodes to cover a topic first, often he will say it's a rant, but I would describe it more as a story, covering history, politics, world culture, anything on his mind to be honest, told to make you think about some important aspect for business owners and marketers. He then answers questions read out by listeners, on topics that may come from his podcast, or his books.
- Seth runs the Alt MBA which is a Marketing qualification, that gets a fair bit of air time on the show, but never in a way that makes you feel too sold to. Thanks to Seth I also discovered Bernadette Jiwa who he sometimes works with, she is also amazing, I very much enjoy receiving her newsletter each week, and listened to Hunch on audiobook recently.
Why not try all of these podcasts this coming week and see what you think!
Thanks
