Podcasts have grown immensely popular in the past couple of years, although they have been around for nearly a decade.  

More than 30% of Australians are tuning into a podcast each month, claiming to listen to about six episodes a week. If you fall into this category of listeners then this article might interest you, especially if you are a marketer or a small or medium-sized business owner!  

Digital Marketing is constantly evolving, meaning it is essential to have continuous learning to keep up with changes and developments. There is a list of marketing podcasts you can to listen to, focusing on topics like social media, lead generation, SEO, and content marketing, as well as covering the latest marketing trends.   

Before we continue, let’s take a moment to understand why you might consider podcasts over other educational resources. 

1. Podcasts serve as a convenient resource to those who either prefer listening over reading and those who like to multitask (like myself). 

1. They are easy to tune into when commuting to work and back. (Fun fact: did you know that average commute time in Sydney is 60 mins?).
