The Top Advertising and Marketing Podcasts

Podcasts have become one of the biggest trends of the 2020s, and it doesn’t look like the upward trend will stop anytime soon. All of your favorite celebrities and influencers are hopping on the bandwagon for creating their podcast. From Barack and Michelle Obama to social media influencers like Emma Chamberlain, fans cannot get enough content. There is a massive hype around podcasts because it’s a way for the audience to learn while being a part of the conversation. The podcast speakers talk directly to the audience in hopes to bring insight and form a sense of community.
