I Asked Copywriters for Their Best Podcast Recommendations – Here’s What They Said
A couple of weeks ago I turned to Twitter (an Elon Musk shaped dumpster fire at the time of writing) to ask for copywriting podcast recommendations and Twitter delivered.
Real, bonafide copywriters who either host podcasts or who religiously subscribe to them gave me some brilliant shows that you might not have heard of before.

The Hot Copy Podcast
This show is no longer “on air”, but it has such an impressive backlog of episodes that you’ll have more than enough to chew on.
The Hot Copy podcast pools together the experience and wisdom of two of copywriting’s heavy weight champions: Kate Toon and Belinda Weaver.
When I say you should pay attention to what Belinda Weaver says, I want you to take that seriously. I was a member of her Confident Copywriting program for a year and a half and I owe so much of my early success as a copywriter to Bill (we affectionately refer to her as Bill).

B2B Q&A
This one is for our B2B copywriters! Have you ever wondered how your copy fits into a wider B2B strategy? Have you ever struggled to take dry, technical topics and whip them up into something people actually want to read? Ever just been flat-out intimidated by the whole B2B industry?
Then B2B Q&A is the podcast for you!
The premise is simple: “We take a listener’s question about an aspect of B2B content writing, and we go in search of an expert to give a definitive answer… so, from that point of view, it could be anything to do with B2B copywriting or content marketing.” Dave McGuire, host of the show, told me.
What You’ll Learn
“In short, if there’s anything you’d like to know about B2B writing, we can try and find an answer for you! But more generally, we often interview B2B marketers, so it can give you a very clear view of the people who commission the copy – what their challenges and priorities are, and how they talk about the job.
More directly, we also share one or two copywriting tips each month, contributed by listeners.”

Special Mentions: Podcasts Not Specifically for Copywriters, but Definitely Helpful for Copywriters
Mistakes that Made me by Eman Ismail
I couldn’t NOT include the amazing Eman Ismail in this list. Her podcast Mistakes that Made Me is honestly the best podcast I’ve discovered this year.
What I like about it is that it’s recorded in seasons which I believe improves quality dramatically because her guests and topics are so well chosen in advance. Its premise is unique in that Eman interviews great business owners about the biggest mistake they made in their careers and how that experience shaped them into the business owner they are today.
One episode was so good it made me cry – can honestly say no other podcast has made me do that.

Sassy as F*ck with Jon McGreevy
I met Jon on Twitter and was immediately thrown into a spiral of rage and jealousy by his fabulous branding. Once the green eyed monster had receded back into its cave, I noticed he also had a great SaaS podcast called Sassy as F*ck.
While it’s not specifically for copywriters I think it’s a must for any copywriter working (or aspiring to work) in the SaaS/tech space.
Jon (very cleverly) created this podcast because he was new to the market as a copywriter and needed a way to network and meet potential clients. Not only this, interviewing the very people he was setting out to help gave him an unfair advantage when it came to working with his Sassy, techie clientele.
He’s also interviewed some very talented copywriters for the show who dropped golden nuggets and value bombs all over the place. Some of these copywriting household names include: Samar Owais, Josh Garofalo, and Eman Zabi.

The SaaS Podcast by Omer Kahn
When I listen to this show I usually take notes. The SaaS Podcast is a MUST listen for any copywriter who’s trying to break into the SaaS space or for anyone who wants to.
Omer Kahn is a thoughtful interviewer who always brings out the best in his guests. It’s a wonderful window into how SaaS marketing works as Go-To-Market and customer acquisition strategies come up a ton.
You’ll definitely recognize some of the founders on this show and their companies!
