Several podcasts now cover the intersection of artificial intelligence and marketing — and the best ones go far beyond surface-level hype.
Whether you need hands-on tool tutorials, C-suite strategy, AI-powered content workflows, or general AI literacy, this guide maps the landscape so you can build a listening rotation that matches your learning goals.
The AI marketing podcast space has exploded, but quality varies wildly. Below are the shows actually worth your time in 2026, organized by the four angles every marketer needs: tools and tutorials, strategy and big-picture thinking, content creation, and general AI literacy.
AI strategy and big-picture thinking
These podcasts help you understand where AI is heading and what it means for your marketing organization, career, and long-term planning.
The Artificial Intelligence Show — hosted by Paul Roetzer and Mike Kaput of the Marketing AI Institute — is the single most-recommended podcast in this space, and for good reason. Roetzer's background as a former agency founder gives him a rare ability to translate AI developments into marketing implications. Each weekly episode (typically 45–75 minutes) breaks down the biggest AI news stories, explains what they mean for business leaders, and provides a "follow the founders" framework for understanding where the industry is heading. Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and iHeart, the show has published 186+ episodes and remains the connective tissue between the AI research world and marketing practice. The companion MAICON conference and AI Academy for Marketers extend the learning ecosystem.
Marketing Against the Grain has quietly become one of the most AI-dense marketing podcasts available. Hosted by HubSpot CMO Kipp Bodnar and SVP of Marketing Kieran Flanagan, this twice-weekly show (20–30 minutes per episode) has pivoted heavily toward AI, covering AI agents, vibe coding, AI Engine Optimization, and workflow automation. With 400+ episodes and backing from one of the world's largest marketing platforms, the show delivers both strategic thinking and practical assets like prompt libraries and AI app-building kits. Available everywhere podcasts are found.
AI Explored, launched by Michael Stelzner of Social Media Examiner in 2024, fills the gap between AI theory and marketing execution. Each weekly episode (~43 minutes) features expert interviews on putting AI to work — from agentic AI and lead nurturing to AI image creation and prompting frameworks. Stelzner's massive existing audience (385,000+ subscribers) means the show attracts high-caliber guests. Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and Amazon Music. The show has already produced 90+ episodes and an AI Marketing Industry Report.
Decoding AI for Marketing brings a C-suite perspective often missing from practitioner-focused shows. Hosted by Greg Stuart (CEO, author) and Rex Briggs (founder/CEO, inventor), the show targets senior marketing leaders navigating AI transformation. Episodes run 40–60 minutes on a biweekly-to-monthly schedule. The hosts recently published The AI Conundrum, and their decades of marketing measurement experience add unusual depth. Available on Spotify and at decodingaiformarketing.com.
Marketing Over Coffee has been running since 2007, but co-host Christopher Penn (of Trust Insights) has turned it into a stealth AI education vehicle. Recorded weekly at a coffee shop near Boston by Penn and John J. Wall, episodes cover Claude, Gemini, Generative Engine Optimization, and AI agents in a casual 20–30 minute format. The show has featured guests like Seth Godin, Ann Handley, and Simon Sinek. Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and iHeart.
Duct Tape Marketing, hosted by small business marketing veteran John Jantsch, brings AI into focus for agencies and SMBs — a segment largely ignored by Silicon Valley–focused AI shows. With 900+ episodes since 2005, Jantsch increasingly covers AI-driven buyer journeys, hyper-personalization, and marketing orchestration. Weekly episodes run 20–30 minutes. Available on all major platforms.
AI Edge for Enterprise Marketing fills a specific gap: large-scale B2B AI marketing implementation. Hosted by Yadin Porter de León, Jessica Hreha, and Michelle Moore, the biweekly show (35–45 minutes) shares strategies from experts who have deployed AI across enterprise software organizations. Available on Spotify. It's one of the only shows targeting enterprise B2B SaaS marketers specifically.
The Digital Marketing Podcast by Target Internet, hosted by Daniel Rowles and Ciaran Rogers, has been running since 2010 and reaches listeners in 180+ countries. The ad-free weekly show (15–30 minutes) increasingly focuses on AI's impact on digital marketing, covering topics like vibe coding for marketers and exponential change. Available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
AI tools, tutorials, and hands-on implementation
These podcasts are for marketers who want to roll up their sleeves and actually use AI tools in their daily work.
AI-Driven Marketer may be the most actionable AI marketing podcast available right now. Host Dan Sanchez takes a "learning in public" approach, sharing exact tool setups (n8n, HighLevel, ChatGPT), specific workflows, and even his actual AI sequences. Weekly episodes (20–40 minutes) feature interviews with AI tech founders and practitioners getting measurable results. Multiple listeners have said it replaced paid AI courses in value. Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.

A former journalist with 20+ years of martech experience, Wilson produces weekday episodes (15–45 minutes) covering ChatGPT tips, AI coding, context engineering, and interviews with leaders from OpenAI, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Google DeepMind. With 664+ episodes, it's consistently a top-ranked tech podcast. The companion newsletter and community add extra value. The show also maintains a dedicated "AI for Marketers" content track.

The ChatGPT Experiment, hosted by Cary Weston, strips away the complexity for complete beginners. Weekly episodes (25–35 minutes) focus specifically on ChatGPT — training it on your writing voice, creating content that sounds like you, and using it for productivity coaching. Weston also runs workshops and coaching, bringing a practitioner's perspective to each episode. Available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
AI-Powered Marketing Show, hosted by Keith Bell, targets beginner digital marketers and small business owners. Weekly episodes (~33 minutes) break down AI-driven strategies into practical tips and real-world examples, covering everything from "build your own LLM" to basic automation setup.

Google Ads Decoded, launched in August 2025 and hosted by Jenny Marvin (Google Product Liaison), offers something no other podcast can: direct insider access to Google's AI advertising features.

Content creation, advertising, and niche AI marketing
These podcasts focus on specific marketing functions — from AI copywriting and content strategy to programmatic advertising and product marketing.
AI in Marketing: Unpacked (recently rebranded as The AI Hat Podcast), hosted by Mike Allton, takes an intentionally evergreen approach. Rather than chasing weekly AI news, Allton — an AI Implementation Strategist and Director of Partner-Led Growth at Agorapulse — focuses on timeless frameworks for integrating AI into marketing workflows.

How to build your listening rotation
Not every marketer needs all these podcasts. Here's a practical framework for choosing your core rotation based on your role and goals:
- If you're a marketing leader or CMO, start with The Artificial Intelligence Show, Decoding AI for Marketing, and No Priors — these three cover AI strategy, marketing-specific implications, and investment trends
- If you're a hands-on practitioner, AI-Driven Marketer, Everyday AI, and How I AI will give you immediately usable workflows and tool recommendations
- If you manage paid media, Perpetual Traffic, The AI Advertising Podcast, and Google Ads Decoded cover AI's impact on ad platforms and buying
- If you're a content marketer, AI in Marketing: Unpacked, Marketing Against the Grain, and Unprompted address AI content creation with nuance
- If you want general AI fluency, Hard Fork and The AI Daily Brief together provide both depth and daily currency in under 90 minutes of weekly listening
Conclusion
The AI marketing podcast landscape has matured significantly since the ChatGPT-fueled explosion of 2023. The most valuable shows have moved past breathless hype into practical territory — sharing specific workflows, honest assessments of what works, and frameworks for organizational AI adoption. The biggest gap remains in AI for email marketing and AI analytics, where no dedicated podcast has yet established dominance. The most notable trend across the space is the convergence of "marketing podcasts" and "AI podcasts" — shows that once covered general marketing strategy now spend the majority of their airtime on AI, while broader AI shows increasingly feature marketing use cases. For marketers building an AI education habit, the combination of one strategy show, one hands-on tutorial show, and one general AI literacy show creates a well-rounded foundation that takes roughly two to three hours per week.
