Perfect podcasts for freelancers who want fresh industry advice

In partnership with…

Using ChatGPT for “Thought Leadership” Is Like Letting Your Ex Write Your Tinder Bio

They make up stories about who you are.
Miss all the important bits.
Leave you to explain awkward situations.

Fact: Your mind can't be faked. No matter how sophisticated the AI.

Pressmaster.ai doesn't pretend to be you.
It extracts your genius.

One conversation (max 5 minutes).
No prep needed. Just talk. Or ask to start researching.

That single dialogue becomes weeks of authority-building content.
Fact-checked. Engagement-optimized. In YOUR voice.

Actual quote from our user: “I get goose bumps reading this. That sounds exactly like me.”

Absurd? See for yourself.

When I need a break from writing freelance articles, interviewing sources, and following up with freelance content marketing clients, I love to listen to podcasts for freelancers as well as a few other categories of podcasts like personal finance and the occasional “true crime” or “scamfluencers” type of entertainment.

I love to listen to a podcast that teaches me something or gives me fresh insights into a new topic. (Speaking of hot topics, Can you earn a living freelancing? Here’s what one seasoned freelancer says.)

That’s why I asked my network of 13,000 on LinkedIn to share the podcasts they really like these days.

If you have a suggestion or two, feel free to reply here to me with more suggestions or call out your favorites on that thread to help your top podcasters get more public recognition.

(Dad, this doesn’t mean I need your Big Foot podcast suggestions.😂)

This list of eight podcasts for freelancers is freshly updated, and I’d love to add more to the list if you have ones I should listen to that have at least 20 episodes dropped.

If you’re celebrating, Happy Passover and Happy Easter!
