Search Engine & Other Podcasts I Enjoy

Ever since I got my Ipod late last year, I have been devouring Podcasts - especially those related to Search Engine Marketing or Entrepreneurship.

Here are a few I especially enjoy:

Daily Search Cast - Hosted by Danny Sullivan of Search Engine Land is a recap of recent events in search marketing. His unique insight into the trends of this industry is amazing. Not everything is useful, but he tends to be on top of things and if nothing else it is about the right length for my drive to work. I love when Dave Naylor co-hosts. Barry Schwartz and Darren from WMR are not quite as entertaining. (although I swear I get every single one of Danny’s off the cuff remarks that Barry never seems to get.) Would love to see more variety in guests. We saw it for awhile at the beginning of the year, but now it seems like mostly the three from above.

Net Income - hosted by Shoemoney. This show is entertaining and can be a good source for ideas etc. Shoe seems to use a ringtones example every show which is always pretty funny. Lately, it seems like it has had a little too much product placement though.

SEO Rockstars - Mostly like listening to 2 old hands talking in the booth behind you at the bar. Some shows ramble on about nothing and others are packed full of good stuff from the start. You never know what you are gonna get from these 2 and unfortunately lately, we have been getting nothing at all.

SitePoint - Dave Naylor’s show for the European audience. Dave usually says something he should not have which is reason enough to listen. His co-host is overly technical and not nearly as much fun. This show you can usually listen to 10 minutes and turn off if the topic does not interest you.

Rush Hour - Neil Patel, Cameron (no even gonna try and spell that name) and CShel host this show dedicated to social marketing. Like SitePoint, this show is either great or an hour long drag. Some of the best segments are when Cshel asks seemingly stupid questions, but then Neil and Cameron spend the next hour spilling the beans on social marketing.

All of the above shows can be found on WebmasterRadio.FM

Here are 2 shows about being an entrepreneur that I really enjoy.

Calacanis Cast - Hosted by Jason Calacanis. This controversial and successful entrepreneur has some great guests and some awesome insight into starting and growing a company. Whatever you think of him personally, this podcast is worth listening to if for no other reason than to get motivated.

Venture Voice - Hosted by Gregory Galant. This show is a series of formal interviews between Greg and CEO’s of different companies. If you are looking to start a company or working for a young start-up there is incredible wisdom about the entrepreneurial mindset in these episodes. Have not been many lately, but well worth hitting up the archives to listen to everything they have done.

What shows are you guys listening to? My ipod is just about empty and I would love to find 2-3 more search or entrepreneurial related shows to help fill my commutes.

    The sound quality, ads and the 95% of useless content usually drives me away from these shows. The only time I listen is when a topic I’m really interested in is covered, and even then it can be a struggle to get through to hear the few sentences of good information.

    However, I have only listened to a couple of the above shows so maybe I have not given them enough of a chance.
