Don’t worry, I know that’s not true. The internet tells me more than half of US adults are monthly listeners. The not-new popularity of audio content has been a hot topic at BA HQ for years. Should we have a podcast? Is there something no one else is doing that we simply must do to support our industry? Is there anything that hasn’t already been done? Do members even want another podcast? The questions keep piling up! So, for now, I’m trying a different approach.

I’m guessing you also get regular podcast recommendations from avid listeners in your life (shout out to the fans of Ologies and Good Hang). Bart Watson is great at this — he’ll randomly send staff episodes he liked and thinks will resonate. That’s honestly the only way I consume podcasts: when someone sends me a direct link and says, “listen to this one.”

I want to give you that same experience. Instead of reinventing the wheel, let us curate podcast playlists for you. There’s a wealth of knowledge already out there — covering our industry, business practices, leadership, and the inspiration to tackle it all for another day. Let us do the legwork of sorting through it, and you can just listen at your leisure.

You can access our pilot list here or check out the list below. Give it a follow if you want to see more or check back for updates. Have your own recommendations? Send them my way.

Looking for solid recommendations unrelated to work life? Here are a few from BA staff: Women’s Work; Thirst Gap; Wind of Change; Bag Man.
