Several podcasts now cover the intersection of artificial intelligence and marketing — and the best ones go far beyond surface-level hype.
Updated November 2, 2026.
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 shows to explore 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 — offers a marketing-focused perspective on AI developments. 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 connects business listeners with AI research 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, hosted by Kipp Bodnar and Kieran Flanagan, connects marketing strategy with practical execution. The show covers AI workflows, growth, SEO, content, and campaign lessons from marketing operators. Its official site lists three episodes a week, making it easy to choose topics that match your current projects.
AI Explored, hosted by Michael Stelzner of Social Media Examiner, is a weekly show for marketers, creators, and business owners learning to apply AI. Interviews explore practical adoption, workflows, prompting, and ways to put AI to work. The show’s website includes subscription options and past episode notes.
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. Jantsch 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, from Target Internet, features Daniel Rowles, Ciaran Rogers, and Louise Crossley. It connects AI with the wider digital marketing mix, including search, content, analytics, and customer behavior. Start with its discussion of ranking in ChatGPT if AI search visibility is on your agenda.
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 focuses on putting AI into marketing practice. 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. Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.
Everyday AI, hosted by Jordan Wilson, offers frequent AI news and practical guidance. 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. The companion newsletter and community add extra value. The show also maintains a dedicated "AI for Marketers" content track. Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.
How I AI, hosted by Claire Vo (three-time CPO, engineer, and founder), stands out for its live screen-sharing format. Each 30-minute episode features guests demonstrating exactly how they use AI tools, with immediately replicable workflows. Guests come from companies like Amplitude, Grammarly, and Airtable. For marketers tired of conceptual AI discussion, this show delivers pure implementation. Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.
The AI Marketing Navigator, hosted by Alex Carlson, offers a daily micro-learning format. Each short episode (5–15 minutes) covers a single AI technique for SEO, content marketing, social media, or email marketing.

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. Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.
Ads Decoded, Google’s podcast hosted by Ads Product Liaison Ginny Marvin, connects advertisers with the teams behind Google Ads. Conversations cover AI-powered creative, Search, Demand Gen, measurement, first-party data, and bidding. It is a useful companion for paid media marketers who want to understand platform features and the reasoning behind them. Because Google produces the show, pair its product guidance with your own campaign tests and performance data.
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.
The AI Hat Podcast, formerly AI in Marketing: Unpacked, is hosted by Mike Allton. Its practitioner conversations explore how to put AI into business and marketing workflows. Choose an episode around a problem you are working through, such as adoption, content, or implementation, and use the discussion to shape a small experiment with your team.
The AI Advertising Podcast, produced by StackAdapt and hosted by Diego Pineda, focuses on AI and advertising. Biweekly episodes (16–20 minutes) cover how AI transforms programmatic advertising, from CTV and digital out-of-home to contextual targeting and AI creative generation.
