However, since more and more people and companies consider podcasts an adequate tool to reach a vast audience, the number of podcast shows is exploding. In April 2020, the number of new episodes hit a record of 30 million.
That’s an incredible number. Therefore, it is —more than ever— essential to find podcasts that provide value. With this blog post, I would like to introduce ten podcasts I consider highly valuable for innovation. Each of the podcasts is handpicked and, in one way or another, linked to future innovations. And as always, I’m super happy to get your feedback. So make sure to leave your comment about the podcasts you’re listening to.
Here Are 10 Innovation Podcasts You Must Listen To In 2020!
Innovation Podcast 1 — The Indie Hackers
One of my most favorite podcasts. Courtland Allen, the podcast host, literally interviewed hundreds of people about their way of turning ideas and visions into a profitable business. With 1-2 hours, the episodes are quite lengthy but provide many insights and learning. You can learn so much about business tactics and strategies and challenges and hurdles on the way to a successful business. Make sure to check it out!

Innovation Podcast 3 — The GaryVee Audio Experience
My all-time favorite podcast. The podcast was the first-ever show I’ve listened to. Gary Vaynerchuk is an entrepreneur, angel investor, public speaker, and so much more. He built several businesses, from the wine business to marketing agencies. On top of that, he puts out a humungous amount of content on each social media platform. His podcast combines speeches, one-on-one consultation, chats with other business icons, and so much more.
If you want to dig into thoughts and best practices about innovation, motivation, and business life, The GaryVee Audio Experience is your place to start.
