If you are looking for a way to keep up with all the latest news, insights, and analysis in the world of AI/GenAI, I’ve put together a list of my favorite podcasts that I listen to to stay informed. These range from weekly to daily shows. I particularly focus on podcasts that specify in business and marketing, but also the overall landscape of AI today.

Why I like the Podcast
Paul Roetzer and his co-host Mike Kaput publish some of the most thoughtful podcast episodes on the topic of AI. Ex-agency founder and founder of the Marketing for AI Institute, Paul, made the shift to focus on AI after he sold his PR agency years ago. I think his past background helps him bring a journalistic POV to his podcast today. His focus on “following the founders” is what I think sets him apart from other podcasts. Paul has all the history on how the big LLM founders all came from the same labs, broke out for various reasons, and here we are with a network of AI founders that are driving our future of AI/GenAI. Paul’s level-headed analysis of the week in AI news is a masterclass on taking in fact, understanding what is speculation, and being clear on what he thinks is going to happen based on what information he has, which is usually just the same information we all have access to, news reports, articles, and public information. To me, this is a must listen every week they put out a show.

Why I like the Podcast
Nathaniel Whittemore is the author of The AI Breakdown, a daily podcast/video of the latest in AI news. Like Paul and Mike, Nathaniel breaks down the daily AI News. He does a bit of a quick round of the latest news in about five minutes, then takes a deep dive into one topic. The overall episodes are quick and can consumable and I like the singular focus of the quick topics of the day. AI has a lot to cover, so having a quick breakdown and then a deeper dive with his opinions sprinkled in is a nice set up. Topics are relevant. There is a lot to keep up with in AI news and The AI Breakdown covers the wide variety of topics nicely.

Why I like the podcast
While the Gartner ThinkCast isn’t only about AI/GenAI, it has been a topic over the last year. Gartner’s analysis and insights from its customers and analysts are well thought through and provide expert guidance as to the state of GenAI, how businesses can adapt to using it, and the risks/rewards.
While there are plenty of podcasts you could listen to, or even specific episodes, these are just a few of the ones I find valuable. Each provides a different level of insight, from practitioner-focused use cases to expert analysis. The world of GenAI is changing so fast. The insights from these shows give me a quick understanding of the week in AI, and I can listen to them as needed on the topics I find most interesting.
