Welcome to our second monthly “PostFunnel’s recommended podcasts episodes from the past month”. You gotta admit, it’s quite a catchy name.
Last month I got a little excited and listed no less than 14 episodes on you. I can’t promise it will never happen again, but for now – let’s agree that 10 sounds like a magic number to stick by?
This month’s crop includes 4 shows we mentioned last month, and 6 (duh) that did not make the previous cut. Some huge names here, some maybe less known ones – but all are having insightful, relevant conversations for the enthusiastic, eager, ambitious, range-thirsty marketer.
Notice the “range” thing? It’s because most of these podcast episodes are not ONLY ABOUT MARKETING. That’s on purpose. That’s the point.
You’ll find social, business, personal and other issues are discussed here. But each have something that will help you become a better professional.
All links are to the episode’s Spotify page. There’s also a Spotify playlist at the bottom.
Enjoy.

Marketing O’Clock
This weekly podcast is one of the most free-flowing conversations about marketing I came across. One thing I particularly enjoy is both how they can stir away from pure marketing convo, but then also how they always make sure to give the marketing angle of it. This episode is probably the most packed of last month’s.
