Most of you don’t know this but I’m somewhat of a podcast junkie. I thought I’d share some of my personal favorites that are related to Community Management.
If I’m missing any, or if there is a great episode you think should be called out… please let me know.
A podcast from Erica Kuhl and Brian Oblinger that is in their words: about community, customer experience, and leadership at scale. Their most recent episode covered something I’m current doing in my day-to-day work, “Expanding the number of use cases your community addresses beyond Support.” Absolutely check out all of the resources they’ve made available on their site.
Hosted by a long time friend of mine, Patrick O’Keefe. He’s been in the community industry at least as long as I have. His podcast profiles CMs from around the globe. In the most recent episode he spoke with Tim McDonald who has had a unique vantage point to the mass closure of news media comment sections. Patrick and Tim go in depth on that topic on this episode who was well know for My Community Manager websites and the “Community Hangouts”. Tim has stage IV colon cancer and is in need of a liver donor and could use your help. Please visit TimsLiver.com for more info.
Conversations with Community Managers (RSS)
The Community Roundtable is one of the leading organizations for all-things-community-management. Their podcast focuses on interviewing one community professional, per show, and getting a better understanding of that person’s role, goals, and day-to-day responsibilities. Each episode is around 20 minutes, which makes for some quick and easy listening. And I want to call out a limited series they are doing called “Lessons from The NEW Community Manager Handbook” (RSS) featuring the 21 community leaders showcased in the Handbook in conversation with Anne Mbugua.
The subject matter here is more on the technical side as compared to other podcasts mentioned here. This podcast is squarely focused on community management and developer relations, but even if that’s not what you do there is an epic ton of great insights to be found. In their most recent episode they say goodbye to longtime co-host Sarah-Jane Morris.
Conversations with Bacon (RSS)
Jono Bacon is a force of nature within the community industry. As his websites says, the podcast “shines a light into the thinking, approaches, and work of a diverse range of guests across business, technology, entertainment, and beyond“. He hasn’t put out a new episode in a while, but the archive has some really great conversations.

B2B Community Builder Show (RSS)
Nothing decreases the cost of acquisition and lifetime value of clients like a network of great relationships, and the ultimate version of that is a community designed around your clients and prospects. BUT where do you find the playbook that makes that happen? That is why this podcast exists. You’ll learn that community building doesn’t live in a vacuum. It has to coexist with a problem you are trying to solve, a category you are in (or better yet, designing yourself), and the culture you are building inside your organization
