Luckily, I work at home as a content creator and blogger, so I don’t have to commute to work. But when I’m in my car running errands or getting stuck in Seattle’s notoriously bad traffic, I use the time to keep updated with social media news and trends.

Here are the five podcasts I listen to in the car to maximize my time and learn as much as possible about social media, content creation, blogging and affiliate product videos.

Build Your Tribe Podcast

Build Your Tribe

Brock Johnson and his mom Chalene share incredible tips on growing our email lists, digital marketing, YouTube growth, and social media.

Brock’s “Breaking Instagram News” Instagram broadcast channel is worth subscribing to, as well.

The Social Media Marketing Podcast

Social Media Marketing with Michael Stelzner

Michael Stelzner of Social Media Examiner hosts this weekly podcast about content strategy, marketing, social media and YouTube. I love how up to date this podcast is, with the freshest social media news and tips. He shares news, and also interviews social media industry thought leaders.

Recent episode topics include Facebook strategy, Linkedin video, YouTube updates, and how to create video ads that convert.

The Social Media Marketing Talk Show

Jerry Potter hosts this weekly talk show about social media. A new episode comes out every Friday. It’s a great way to catch up on the news of the week, new changes to social media platforms, and news of interest to content creators. I love Jerry’s relatable style, expert knowledge and enthusiasm for the subject matter.

The past several episodes have featured YouTube news and updates, Facebook updates, Instagram’s new tools, and episodes specifically on Tiktok and on Linkedin.

Think Media Podcast

This channel specializes in YouTube tips for building a profitable channel. Besides videos on growing your YouTube channel, they talk about affiliate marketing, content creation, creating an online course, content trends, and work-life-balance issues for content creators. So many good tips in these videos!

You can listen to their episodes on your podcast app, too.

The Colin & Samir Show

Colin and Samir interview YouTube creators on their creator journey, occasionally interview the CEO of YouTube, host creator round tables, and profile successful business people as well as YouTubers. They occasionally tour YouTubers studios (which is great to watch on video and probably not as exciting to listen to on a podcast!)

They offer very interesting, educational and inspiring episodes. I look forward to these every time they come out.

Video Creators

This channel and podcast promise “YouTube Strategy for Your Next Million Subscribers.” Their channel is aimed at established creators, not beginners, so they offer next-level tactics. There are a few reality checks, hints on why your channel isn’t making it yet, and help with formulas to keep viewers watching to the end.

This is a must-listen show for me when I’m on one of my frequent cross-state road trips.

Creator Science

I just recently subscribed to Jay Franco’s “Creator Science” podcast. He features successful YouTubers, teaches us how to host profitable workshops, and occasionally provides tips on TikTok and Linkedin as well.

There’s a lot of knowledge here, and I’m going to prioritize a morning each week to catch up on his previous videos, notepad in hand!

Nick Nimmin

I’ve learned a lot from Nick Nimmin about YouTube channels, and also about livestreaming. His is the show I look forward to the most every week. His channel is aimed at smaller creators, and he’s really good at staying on top of YouTube news and changes and interpreting that for his audience in a timely manner. He’s extremely helpful, and I enjoy his insights and down to earth approach.
