Best Marketing Podcasts

Seven marketing podcasts with different strengths: daily tactics, B2B playbooks, AI marketing experiments, growth interviews and business-idea brainstorms.

The best marketing podcasts in 2026 are Marketing Against the Grain, Marketing School, The Marketing Millennials, The Dave Gerhardt Show (from Exit Five), My First Million, The Startup Ideas Podcast and Lenny's Podcast. The first four are marketing shows through and through; the last three are business and product shows that spend a lot of airtime on growth, distribution and positioning.

Built This Week is our show. It isn't a marketing podcast, so we list it at the end as "Also from us," unranked. Here's how we picked the rest.

How we picked

  • Marketing is the main subject, or a constant one. Four shows are pure marketing; the business shows made the list because growth and distribution come up in most episodes.
  • Still publishing. Every show here has a new episode in its feed from October 2026.
  • A mix of formats and lengths. A daily 20-minute show, B2B interview shows, host-led experiments and long-form growth interviews.
  • Facts you can check. Schedules and lengths come from each show's own feed; "start with" picks are the most-viewed recent YouTube episode, as of October 2026.

1. Marketing Against the Grain

Marketing Against the Grain is hosted by Kipp Bodnar, HubSpot's CMO, and Kieran Flanagan, HubSpot's SVP of Marketing, and produced by HubSpot Media.

Recent titles show the direction: the hosts test AI personal assistants, turn an AI chatbot into a content team and look at how marketing teams will change by 2027.

It suits marketers who want growth tactics plus hands-on AI experiments from people running marketing at a large software company.
