Best Business Podcasts in 2022

by | Rankings

And if there was ever any doubt that Podcasts are here to stay, 2020 banished it for good. More than 100 million people in America listened to Podcasts last year. Podcast listeners tend to stay loyal long term, so this growth is likely to be sustained. 

2020 speeded up the development of all things digital marketing. It was like we experienced 5 years’ worth of evolution in one year.

Podcasts are so good because people can listen while they do other things: house chores, exercise, or driving.
