27 Top WordPress Podcasts to Listen to in 2022

Updated on September 23, 2021

wordpress podcasts

Keeping pace with all the developments in WordPress requires some serious effort. Whether you are a developer, community marketer, WooCommerce store owner or just someone who likes WordPress (it really is a nice platform), things are moving so fast that staying updated requires a significant investment of time and effort.

Not everyone can find time to read or watch videos every day. If this is the case with you, you have two options: either accept the fact that with every passing day, you are losing your technical edge or find a way to get the latest WordPress podcasts.

Podcasts to the Rescue

Podcasts are a great way of getting the latest in WordPress without a huge time commitment. The good thing about WordPress podcasts is that you can listen to a podcast while you are on your morning run, driving to work or simply relaxing with a cup of coffee.

In the last couple of years, the WordPress podcast scene has matured significantly with a number of excellent podcasters have entered the space and there is no dearth of quality podcasts on a variety of WordPress-focused topics.

The Challenge of Choice

The number of WordPress podcasts can actually become a blocker for many people. There are just too many podcasts to choose from and selecting the right podcast to suit the mood and level of the listener is often a reason why many WordPress Community members often shy away from podcasts.

To help you get over this issue, I have decided to jump into the arena and vet out the top WordPress podcasts that are well suited for WordPress Community members of all shades. I have tried to keep the list to a reasonable number so that as you go through the list, you can try out the podcasts that catch your eye and decide if you wish to return for more.
